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.

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.

Molto pulita e personale molto gentile. Stanza non insonorizzata (e purtroppo vicini rumorosi fino a tarda notte ma non è colpa della struttura).
