The staff were very friendly and super helpful. I forgot the reception man’s name but he spoke with respect and was very hospitable. The rooms are average but I will stay here again The man in reception works the night shift, he deserves a bonus for his customer service!

Na 2-3 noce dla mniej wymagających

- czystość nie istnieje - okna nie domykają się i przez szpary słychać głośną ulicę - klima ma tryb działa/nie działa i jest bardzo brudna - parking mały i wiecznie zastawiony + Średnio urozmaicone ale smaczne śniadania + Basen na dachu i siłownia + Miła obsługa + Hotel sam zaproponował dodatkowy materac dla dziecka, bezpłatnie + Przyzwoity internet + Okolica mieszkalna więc dużo knajpek i sklepików

Great hotel and pretty central

Excellent breakfast buffet with clean room located fairly central. Only downfall was I was being charged for a full day for late check out despite confirming late check out time with staff the day before with no additional costs. I’m not happy with their aggressive behaviour and had I known a charge was added I would not have stayed.

Nettes Hotel mit zentraler Lage

Das Hotel war toll, auch wenn der Pool schon etwas herunter gekommen war, aber das ist eben Oman :) Das Zimmer war sauber und sehr groß, sogar mit Küche. Leider war es etwas dunkel, aber dafür auch nie zu warm :) Es gab sogar eine Waschmaschine! Das Frühstück war auch sehr lecker und für Oman vielfältig.

a disappointed getaway

very uncomfortable; A/C wasn't that cool considering that it was summer in Oman (upwards of 40 degrees Celsius) even if we checked-in after midnight. WiFi was patchy and there were lights that weren't working so the room was kinda dark. already stayed in hotels around Muscat which were way cheaper but more comfortable; this looks like a motel

Old and sad

Nothing of real interest close by this Hotel, but it is fairly easy to get to. I chose the hotel for the room size as we travelled with children, but the room layout was very strange, sofa was old and dirty and the pool is useless. Should have opted for a smaller room in a better hotel!

Muscat short break

The hotel room was made up of a common lounge area and kitchen, with two separate and lockable rooms. The bedrooms were comfortable, with TV, desk and safe. There were ample electrical outlets and air conditioning was adjustable. The wifi was a bit shaky but worked fine in reception.The restaurant staff were excellent and asked if we had any specific needs for breakfast. We did take our sat nav which we needed to get around Muscat and the hotel was in a good position to get to the places we had planned.
