The 50 best areas to stay in Muscat

The stay was amazing. The place was very quiet, which made it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The booking included free access to the family beach, pool, a small kids water park, and also a ladies beach. Breakfast was impressive, offering a wide variety of food from different regions to suit all tastes. There are also small convenience shops on-site, which was very handy. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the staff were extremely friendly. I really appreciated the welcoming gesture of coffee and dates upon arrival. The only downside is that the hotel is located about 30 minutes away from the center of Muscat, so taxi rides can be a bit pricey.

I booked the resort day pass for 20 OMR, which includes 10 OMR credit to use at the Blu Bar. The staff were very cooperative, and the experience was excellent! You get unlimited water and towels, plus full access to all the pools and the private beach, basically everything outdoors. There are also showers and changing rooms (no lockers though). I had a really relaxing day, definitely worth it!

The location of this hotel in the bay is simply breathtaking – the views of the sea are stunning, and the beach is perfect for snorkeling. The Deluxe Rooms with sea view are attractive, but it is clear that some of them are older and show signs of wear. It would be worthwhile for management to consider investing in refurbishing these rooms to enhance the guest experience. The service is courteous and helpful, although it lacks a personal touch that would make a stay truly memorable. The food is good, yet not quite at the level of a Ritz Carlton. The pool area is inviting, and the staff are very attentive and accommodating. A crucial aspect that could set this hotel apart in the long term is its environmental responsibility. The hotel’s private reef is a unique and valuable asset. Protecting it from destructive fishing practices, such as trawling with nets, would not only preserve the natural beauty and marine life but also establish the hotel as a leader in eco-tourism. By actively promoting sustainable practices and safeguarding the marine ecosystem, the hotel could create a distinctive identity among the region’s five-star properties and provide a truly responsible and forward-thinking experience for guests. Developing eco-tourism initiatives here would offer enormous potential: from guided snorkeling tours that respect the reef, to educational programs about marine conservation. Such measures would ensure that the pristine environment remains intact for future visitors and provide a meaningful, sustainable experience that aligns with global trends in responsible travel. It would be a real loss if the reef and marine life were compromised, as this is one of the hotel’s greatest natural advantages.

I had a wonderful experience at Al Bustan Palace Hotel. The atmosphere is truly elegant and relaxing, and the hotel offers an exceptional combination of luxury and comfort. The staff were extremely professional, friendly, and always willing to help with a genuine smile. Their attention to detail made my stay unforgettable. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed with a stunning view. The service was fast and efficient, and everything was organized perfectly. The restaurant was another highlight — the food was delicious, fresh, and offered great variety. The breakfast buffet had many options to choose from, and the dining experience was excellent thanks to the attentive staff and pleasant ambiance. I highly recommend Al Bustan Palace Hotel to anyone looking for a high-quality stay and outstanding hospitality. Definitely one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had.

Rooms are pretty small for the price tag' and the walls are very thin from room to the hallways. Over all a decent hotel good breakfast its just not worth the price tag. Also this is good to keep in mind at any hotel in Oman if you ask the concierge to get you a can it will be 3 times what it should be as the taxi system is designed to absolutely rip of tourist. Always us the taxi app and walk off property of you have to it will save you between 25 and 75 usd per ride.

Everything in the hotel lobby is lovely. It would be great to have more staff available to serve the café visitors. By the way, the baked cheesecake is absolutely delicious! The staff member was good, but she didn’t notice that there were no tissues on the table. Also, the restroom cleanliness could use a bit more attention.

Our stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Muscat, was absolutely exceptional. The hotel itself is stunning, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was the outstanding service we received from Mr. Can Gezen. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to fulfill every wish we had. His professionalism and genuine care turned our stay into something truly special. Thank you, Mr. Gezen, for making our time at the Ritz-Carlton so memorable — you are a true example of world-class hospitality! Room Number 131 Yilmaz

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at The Chedi — it was so peaceful that we never even felt the need to leave the resort! The grounds are beautifully spacious, and even though the hotel appeared to be fully booked, it never felt crowded. There was always plenty of space at all three pools and restaurants, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A special thank you to Pandiyan, who took such great care of us by the pool with thoughtful touches like refreshing fruit skewers, and to Mirat, who made our breakfasts delightful and my birthday dinner at the beach restaurant truly memorable. Their genuine warmth and attention made our stay exceptional.

The entire team was exceptionally friendly and attentive - from the servers to the cleaning staff, everyone went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. A special mention to Pandiyan, who took such great care of us by the pool. He served our food and drinks with genuine warmth and a constant smile. His thoughtful and professional service made our time by the pool truly relaxing and enjoyable.

We had a few small issues at check-in, but the manager resolved everything quickly within the first 24 hours, and from then on our stay was absolutely perfect. The food at the main restaurant was excellent throughout our stay, and the staff there were consistently attentive and welcoming, which made every meal a real pleasure. But the absolute highlight of our experience was Pandiyan at the Serai Pool. He went far beyond what we could have expected – always attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. His care and attention made us feel so well looked after, and he was a big part of why our stay was so memorable.

We had an incredible stay at the Chedi. The design and landscaping at this hotel are timeless and I can see us returning for many years to come. The brunch was excellent value, but in general I would say the F&B prices are very high for the quality. A special shout out to the amazing staff who were honestly faultless - particularly Pandiyan at the beach who really went above and beyond to make us feel special.

Went for a pool day with a daily pass and loved it! The pool is stunning, with direct beach access. They also have a sauna, steam room, and a fully equipped gym. Everything else is great, just the food could use some improvement. Overall, a really nice spot to relax for the day.

We had an amazing stay at this Amazing Hotel (the best 5 star in Oman)! The location is perfect — right by the sea, peaceful and relaxing. The rooms are stylish, clean, and very comfortable, with great attention to detail. The breakfast was delicious and made with fresh local ingredients,Jenny make a great service, A special mention to Morris, who made our stay unforgettable — always friendly, helpful, and full of great tips about the Oman. His kindness and hospitality truly made the difference. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for an authentic and relaxing experience in Oman!

As the founder of UEvents Global, we requested to host a lunch at the beach restaurant for our 120-guest wedding in Oman. We worked closely with Mr. Deepak Sharma and Mr. Mohammad Khaleel from the F&B team, and throughout the entire process we were genuinely amazed by their professionalism, support, service, and warm personalities. They accommodated every request with complete flexibility, and the food and hospitality for the post-wedding brunch were outstanding. My experience with Mr. Deepak, in particular, was exceptional — he is one of the most genuine gentlemen I have met in my 20-year career. This was a true learning lesson for anyone in the service industry: when people care, it shows. We felt genuinely valued and incredibly well taken care of.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality. The entire team was incredibly friendly and attentive — a special thank you to Kathleen, Younus, Carl, and many others who made our stay so memorable. Also the gardeners were so friendly to us! The hotel itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, with great attention to detail in every corner. The food was exceptional — every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Truly, no wishes were left unfulfilled. We felt completely cared for and relaxed throughout our stay. We are looking forward to come back to Oman and this Hotel!

Great service from all staff. Azim was our room attendant. Brilliant Dorai and Abbas on the beach were always there to set up sun beds and bring us water. Onder, the chef , cooked fantastic food. Don't expect to go home hungry !! Aung, Jay and all the waiters and waitresses were so friendly. Finally a huge thank to Jamie Zhang, front desk manager who made us so welcome on our return to Kempinski Al Mouj. I cannot fault this hotel. Possibly one of the friendliest and best in the world.

A perfect place to unwind. The staff will make sure you are well taken care off. From the time of arrival till you depart. Younus and Rashid made sure our room is always in mint condition, thank you again. Abbas made certain we have a nice place, front row at the beach. Jay and Efrianty made our breakfast experience divine each morning.

Amazing stay at Kempinski Muscat ! Amit in the Kitchen restaurant led by example along with Mr Ali, Aishwariya and Chandri. Schola and Jaz were also very attentive. Amit is their standout colleague though and was always at hand for advice and making us feel at home. Thank you Amit and team ! Food amazing at all outlets (chef Sanjeev ensuring the best food quality food and helped accommodate special requests) , kids pool had great shade for the kids. Large well maintained property. Rooms were serviced excellently by Bashid and team. Halloween was a fun time to stay as hotel was decorated nicely for the kids with plenty of activities. Thank you all !

Kempinski Muscat has been an incredible experience from the moment you walk into the gorgeous lobby, all the way to our room and to the facilities/amenities of the property. A few standouts: - Housekeeping: Api was absolutely incredible, his attention to detail was unreal and each day he made our room feel fresh and clean. We met him in the corridor and his attitude, heartwarming personality and a befall great character was a delight which made us feel safe and happy. - SoiSoi: the ladies at this restaurant were sensational. Huge shoutout to Rungtiwa and Pasnipha for their lovely service - this made the food taste 10x better! They always approached with a smile and gave us lovely stories of their life in Thailand. Vanlapa the team manager made EXCELLENT drinks and on a day I was feeling down about situations at home, she shared stories of her life and without knowing, made my day much better. To top off a lovely dinner, they offered us desserts wishing us a safe flight home. I wish nothing but the best for them and wish for them to be promoted or to have a raise, they absolutely deserve it. - Sophie at the check in desk was an absolute delight to speak to. The food, the service, the facilities and location of Kempinski make this a must-stay location if you come to Muscat.

Countdown at the Kempinski is always a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. The setting is beautiful — stylish, comfortable, and perfect for both sunset drinks or a chilled evening out. The service is consistently excellent, with the entire team making you feel welcome and well looked after. A special mention to Sheila and Hamood, who went above and beyond to make our visit extra special — friendly, professional, and attentive throughout. The happy hour deals are great value, and the atmosphere is just right for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet drink. Highly recommend Countdown for anyone looking for great service, great ambiance, and great value!

Amazing hotel with really lovely staff. Everyone is so helpful and attentive. The restaurants are delightful. Some of the best Indian food I’ve had. Special shout out to Susmita and Payel for looking after us during our stay!

Our one-week stay was absolutely amazing — the hospitality and service were beyond exceptional. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the amenities are wonderful. We were even upgraded to a fantastic suite! It’s a truly family-friendly hotel with incredibly friendly staff who are always ready to help. Special thanks to Daniela, Varun, Alhattab, Romeo, and the housekeeping team — you all made our stay exceptional! The food portions at the restaurants are fantastic. We ordered several times from WET Deck, tried the room service, and the portions were unbelievable — great value and taste. Good ice cream, chicken wings, nachos and calamari. They also have infinity pool with specific opening hours. If there’s one small area for improvement, it would be the breakfast options, especially for families staying for a longer period. The hotel is also conveniently located near the beach and other great restaurants. Overall, I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Amazing team and an unforgettable experience! ❤️

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel, and the experience truly lived up to our expectation. The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The hotel’s attention to detail is evident everywhere: from the stunning décor and ambiance to the thoughtful touches throughout. It strikes the perfect balance between comfort and contemporary style. The service was exceptional, and every staff member (from Reception and poolside to Housekeeping and the restaurants) was warm, friendly, and eager to help. Breakfast was a real highlight, offering a fantastic selection of dishes with plenty of options to suit every preference. Asma at Harvest restaurant (where we had breakfast everyday) was kind and always welcomed us warmly. The pool was inviting, with excellent poolside service that made relaxing by the water even more enjoyable. The hotel’s restaurants also offered outstanding dining experiences. We stayed here to celebrate our daughter’s birthday, and the Welcome Office team made the celebration truly unforgettable. A special thank you to Caroline and Daniela, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for her special day. Their kindness and effort meant so much to us and made the occasion one we will always remember. A heartfelt shout out to our room stylists Eliyaz, Sankalp, Arif, and Omray for their exceptional housekeeping. Our room was always impeccably made up with great care and attention to detail. Every day, we returned to a beautifully refreshed space where everything we could possibly need had been thoughtfully arranged. Overall, our experience was exceptional from start to finish. It’s a five-star hotel that absolutely deserves its rating, and we can’t wait to return!

Our stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The kindness and constant smiles of the staff made us feel truly welcome. We loved the delicious breakfasts and dinners at Harvest, as well as the relaxing moments by the beautiful pool. The hotel location near the beach and across the opera was perfect. The suite offered every comfort we could wish for and more. Thank you for an unforgettable stay — we can’t wait to come back.

I had the pleasure of being served by Elizabeth at the Living Room Bar recently, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment I sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Her friendly demeanor and calm presence created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere—it felt like being taken care of by someone who truly enjoys what they do. Elizabeth was quick to offer helpful suggestions and knew the menu inside and out. It’s rare to come across service that feels this thoughtful and consistent. Elizabeth truly elevates the experience at the Living Room Bar, and I’ll definitely be returning.thank you.

W Hotel Muscat is a truly remarkable place that blends modern luxury with a vibrant and trendy atmosphere. From the moment you enter, you feel the unique style and energy that set it apart from any other hotel in the city. The design is bold and contemporary, while still offering warmth and comfort. Its restaurants are outstanding, serving a wide range of delicious dishes that suit every taste. One of the highlights of staying here is the chance to enjoy the stunning view of the sea, especially during sunset, which creates an unforgettable experience. Whether for dining, relaxation, or simply enjoying the lively vibe, W Muscat is an exceptional destination.

We had a fantastic stay at the W Muscat — truly a five-star experience! The hotel is stunning, modern, and impeccably clean. Every staff member we encountered was polite, attentive, and eager to go the extra mile to make us feel valued. Our room was exceptionally spacious, with a breathtaking view of the sea and pool, a very comfortable bed, and countless thoughtful touches that made it feel genuinely world-class. A big shoutout to the team at Harvest — we had breakfast there multiple mornings, and it was consistently exceptional. The spread was a perfect mix of Western favorites and local Omani classics, and the service was impeccable, friendly, and courteous every time. One minor downside was noticing a few rude European tourists treating staff poorly, which was disappointing to see. However, the staff handled these situations with grace and professionalism. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The next time we’re in Muscat, there’s no question we’ll be staying at the W again. Highly recommended!

Had an incredible few days here — the hotel is stunning, with great energy and super stylish rooms. The Wet Deck was very nice. Huge thanks to Hassan, who went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. Also, don’t miss the Peking duck at Ba Ban — honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Overall, amazing service, great food, and the perfect vibe. Can’t wait to come back!

This beach is truly a gem! It's incredibly lively, with people of all ages enjoying themselves. You can hear the laughter of children building sandcastles, the cheerful chatter of families having picnics, and the energetic music from beach volleyball games. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it easy to get into the holiday spirit.

It was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The sound of the ocean was soothing the soul as well as watching people enjoying themselves on the beach by playing football. The scenery was indescribable beautiful and I was taken a back of the beauty. This is a beautiful stretch of sand, extending for about 5km. When we visited there in the evening were no loungers or umbrellas, nothing on the beach at all to help you relax. It was a lovely stroll and very picturesque as well as being shallow so you could stand up 50m out into the water. There are number of eateries and cafes along the beach and even shopping centers. The Qurum beach is located in an up market place of Muscat where most of the 5 star hotels are housed along the waterfront. Really beautiful evening place to stroll. But be careful to dress modesty.

A calm and quiet beach near Muscat, perfect for a relaxing family outing. The shoreline is shallow, making it safe for children and ideal for leisurely wading. The beach is well-maintained, with plenty of parking 🅿️ available for visitors. There's also a convenient cafeteria located right across the road, offering refreshments with a view.

Qurum Beach is popularly known for its golden sand, Sun bathing and vibrant atmosphere. The beach is situated in a developed area of Muscat, close to major hotels, the Royal Opera House, and the Muscat Grand Mall. This Beach is ideal for swimming, as the water is calm, clear, and shallow. You can also try surfing, as the waves are moderate and consistent. A paved pathway runs alongside the beach, offering a great place for a stroll or jog with views of the sea. The best time to visit Qurum Beach is from October to April. The beach hosts many events throughout the year, such as concerts, fireworks, sports, and cultural shows. Qurum Beach is a paradise for beach lovers, and offers a wide range of activities and sports that can be enjoyed by anyone !!!

A perfect family escape! Qurum Beach is a gem—ideal for families and kids. The shallow waters, low tides, and gentle waves make it super safe for little ones to enjoy. The beach is clean, well-maintained, and there’s ample parking available. It’s especially magical during sunset—watching the sky change colors while waves gently lap the shore is pure bliss. After twilight, the vibe turns serene and refreshing. A small lawn perched above the beach, dotted with palm trees, adds a lush tropical touch. Paradiso.

Beautiful, calm and peaceful! It gets crowded over the weekends.

Nice beach during night the lighting of nearby buildings looks really great

michaela at chow mee was the best - always accomodating - fit us in last minute when we forgot to make reservations. she was also at the beach hotel and made our stay very comfortable. she was so friendly and had a smiling face even when the restaurant is busy she was able to deal with every situation calmly. all her staff seem to love her- she is true hard working credit to the hotel. special mention to suhail who cleaned our room and stocked everything up with water bottles. the room was spotless everyday - amazing suhail and always greeting us with a smile. dawud in pool was so friednly moving my phone incase it fell in the pool - found shiny sea shellls from the beach to give my kids. always attentive friendly amazing and so was sangeeth the lifeguard. always checking on my kids when swimming and vigilant, smiling and friendly. incredible service also from murthi making us the best dosa ever at breakfast- didnt even have to ask as soon as he sees our faces he knows what to make us everyday - best chef ever.then shintai went out of her way to get us a late checkout - smiling / happy to help- no task too small for her.we made lasting friends at shangri la- bit far from town centre but the ambiance of the incredible beach and the people who work here make it well worth the stay. we will be returning very soon. facilities are amazing -

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well cared for. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly, attentive, and thoughtful What stood out most was how caring they were with my 3-year-old. They always took a moment to talk to her, made sure she was comfortable, and even offered little gestures that made her smile. Their attentiveness made traveling with a young child so much easier and far more enjoyable. The hotel itself was clean, well-maintained, and relaxing, but it was the exceptional staff that really made our stay special. A special mention to Mary Ann and Thaw From Ava and family

Fantastic trip to this resort. All amenities included, amazing food and drink (incl. alcohol), cannot fault the service, staff and options. It's out of the way in a private bay, so trips into town have to be organised by taxi/car/bus, which was not a problem. They have an ATM to take out OR in the lobby (handy) and a small shopping mall for gifts and souvenirs as well. Pool with a 'lazy river' and access to the beach with life guards. Breakfast selection was also amazing. Rooms are generous and air conditioned, we had a balcony. Place is incredibly clean, no problems with bugs etc. There is a towel service for the pool and a pool bar with very decent food and drink options, too. It can get a bit chaotic with drinks ordering during dinner but all relaxed.

I genuinely expected a world-class experience from Shangri-La Al Jissah, but the visit to their bar/restaurant (The Circle) was honestly pathetic. This is absolutely not what you expect from a 5-star resort, and definitely not worth the cost they charge. Despite having lots of staff standing around, no one seemed interested in doing their job. We waited an unnecessarily long time just for someone to come and take our order. It almost felt like they were pretending to be busy while guests kept waiting. For a property that charges around 200 OMR per night, you expect at least basic attentiveness and efficiency. Even the interiors were disappointing — nothing special, nothing luxurious. After paying such a premium, you expect some warmth, ambience, and thoughtful design, but the place felt plain and lacking charm. Overall, a deeply underwhelming experience for a resort that claims to be 5-star. Definitely not worth the hype or cost.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable weekend at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, Muscat! My wife and I spent a wonderful weekend at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort, and every single detail exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly Omani staff — their genuine hospitality made us feel at home right away. The resort itself is stunning — set between the majestic mountains and the turquoise sea, with beautifully landscaped gardens and a private beach that feels like paradise. We loved waking up to the breathtaking sea view and enjoying long walks along the shore. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every meal was a delight, from breakfast to dinner. During the same weekend, we also explored Muscat and fell in love with the city. We visited Mutrah Souq, Mutrah Fort, and the Sultan’s Palace, each offering a glimpse of Oman’s rich culture and history. Dinner at Luban Restaurant was fantastic, and later we enjoyed a relaxing coffee overlooking the sea and the beautiful Mutrah Corniche — the perfect ending to a magical trip. Overall, this was one of our best getaways ever — a perfect mix of luxury, culture, and warm Omani hospitality. Highly recommended for couples and families looking for a peaceful and memorable escape in Oman!

Spacious, beautifully designed rooms with fantastic service. The entire staff—from valet,concierge to reception to spa team—treated us like family. Excellent breakfast and great amenities like the lazy river and sauna. Felt like home with professional assistance at every turn. Highly recommended! And the reception desk even get special stair fro kid, every details is consider to treat people at top level!

Our stay at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah in Muscat was absolutely incredible! The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and offered stunning views — the kind that make you stop and just take it all in. There were so many food options across the resort, each offering amazing quality and variety — something for every taste. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the staff. Every single worker we met delivered exceptional service — genuinely kind, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. Truly 10,000/10 service all around! Highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Oman — it’s the perfect mix of comfort, luxury, and world-class hospitality.

Grand Hyatt offers an exceptional dining experience that truly lives up to its name. From the elegant ambiance to the top-notch service, everything about this restaurant is first class. The food is outstanding, a perfect blend of international and local flavors, prepared with the highest quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. The staff are incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive, ensuring every guest feels valued and comfortable. The atmosphere is luxurious yet relaxed, making it ideal for both business dinners and family gatherings. Whether it’s the breakfast buffet, lunch, or dinner, every meal at Grand Hyatt is memorable. A truly five-star experience that reflects excellence in every detail!

Not really grand. Dated rooms with a strange smell. Good pool area and good service. The beach in front of the hotel is not nice at all, and it's not a place where I would actually swim (and no beach club etc.). Worth spending a little more and getting an actually nice hotel nearby.

We had a great stay at the Grand Hyatt, Muscat. The rooms are very spacious, the pool area is newly renovated and very relaxing. Customer service was fantastic. Particular mention should be given to Parth in the Grand Lounge who looked after us impeccably!

I stayed only for 1 night; the hotel is beautifully designed and the rooms are super clean and spacious. However, they are realllyyggy outdated and need refurbishment! Even the room didn’t have sockets next to the bed to charge your phone for instance. You hear weird sounds when you use the toilet and the water flow from the shower is a disaster! On the positive side, i had diner at the Italian restaurant and the food and service were top quality and tasty. Breakfast was super basic (especially for. 5 star hotel) the Gym has good equipments but is dull. Staff service (except the reception check in) was also very good ! Super friendly.

Wow.. I almost regret leaving reviews like this incase places become too popular and spoil the tranquility. Firstly the hotel’s reception area is pure beauty with such detail to Omans heritage and spender. The new swimming pool and outside areas , again; well thought out and tastefully finished and even better at night with the lighting . We did have to move rooms from the 4th floor as we where over the nightclub which had loud music until 3am however it was no problem at all for the reception who where again increadable welcoming polite and accommodating. The concierge team where equally helpful and even helped arrange for our fish from our fishing trip be prepared by the kitchen who I would especially like to thank. The relaxed sports bar was a great start to the evening, quiet but served its purpose and again welcoming staff. If I was to criticise anything it would be the cost of drinking and dining, all very high end but unfortunately I feel the prices kept the restaurant and bars very quite , and as there is so much around the hotel that is a fraction of the price they could maybe offer more cost effective incentives or packages . A note on the rooms, they are very comfortable and specious however rather than “Google Cast” Netflix and Prime could be an option on the TV and add some USB ports . All in all one of the best hotels I’ve stay out in my life of travel. Well done everyone. You will be seeing us again very soon.

Dear sirs. I attended a brunch on Friday 7 November 2025. The food was absolutely supberb. I especially loved the Quiche lorraine. My compliments to the chef. I would really appreciate it, if at all possible, you could send me the recipe. Thank you.

Excellent service at habana sports bar 👍 thx to Sagar bartender very friendly , he is always there welcoming us whenever me and my group r there for pool tournaments. only one thing have to be done , to fix the pool tables and make it better so we can keep coming more, 🙏 thank u

We had a great experience at Jumeirah Muscat Bay & we are already planning on returning in the future. It's a beautifully designed hotel with spacious modern rooms, breathtaking views and brilliant staff. I am very, very grateful to the cleaning crew who always helped to make our room feel like home - nice & clean & comfortable. I think the cleaner who cleaned our room was called Abdul Qadir and we are very, very happy with the service we received. The staff at the front (valets, reception etc.) were all very friendly and smily & made our experience that much more pleasant. The breakfast was fantastic - great selection & great taste. I have already recommended Jumeirah Muscat Bay to other family members & plan to return in the future, God-willing.

Never have I stayed at a hotel as elegant as Jumeirah Muscat Bay. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed - greeted with a refreshing drink, a smooth and flawless check-in, and even a complimentary room upgrade. The room itself was spacious, modern, and spotless, with breathtaking views that are truly unforgettable. Breakfast was exceptional - well-organised, delicious, and with an efficient system that meant no queues at the live stations. Easily one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had. The kids’ club and pool were fantastic, with friendly staff who made our children feel right at home. The beach and surrounding views are stunning, with plenty of loungers and attentive staff providing cold water throughout the day. Social media mentioned complimentary ice creams and fruits, but we didn’t receive any - a small miss in an otherwise perfect experience. Service across the hotel was outstanding - a professional, warm, and attentive. I’d highly recommend avoiding weekends (Fri–Sat) as it does get busier. Water sports like kayaking are available (a bit on the pricey side), and although we didn’t spot any turtles, it was still a great experience. There’s also free valet parking, a well-equipped gym (though without a view), and paddle courts that are best enjoyed in the evening due to the heat. All in all, the best four nights of our Oman stay - truly world-class hospitality in a stunning location.

Really highly recommend Jumeirah Muscat Bay. We experienced exceptional service whilst be surrounded by total luxury! Great location with a beautiful beach and the swimming pools were a huge highlight. The breakfast buffet is outstanding!! A big shout out to Oscar (from Malaysia or Phillipines?) at the premium club Lounge, what a wonderful host:) We will definitely go there again as soon as possible, thank you for making us stay so incredible!

Second time at a Jumeirah and it didn’t disappoint. The staff were amazing. We stayed half board. The food was great in every restaurant. The location is private and unique. Sometimes you get the beach all to yourself. Very family friendly hotel as well

Was there for a business meeting at Jumeirah Muscat Bay hotel. Ambience was simple, not very opulent, ..simplicity has it's own beauty and this hotel is a good example. Views of the bay from the balcony were mesmerising and great to enjoy with an evening coffee. Staff very well trained and helping. Parking, unfortunately, was a bit limited and I had to explain why I had to park there. Lobby is at the 5th floor.. was kind of lost before I found the meeting location.

This place is perfect. How would I describe everyhting I experienced that day? 🤔🤣 everything is good from entance to parking to lobby and security. We stayed here couple of days for appointments and business matter. The view, food and ambiance plus people are all great. recommended. 👌🩷

A fantastic stay. Excellent service. Our room was not ready for hours and we couldn’t make a reservation for their italian restaurant on half board. Giving us little restaurant choice during our stay. Hotel made it up with a lunch for the inconvenience. Calm, welcoming, beautiful views. Except the pool tiles that are coming off. Need to improve the restaurant choices, services hours. When on half board you should have a booking priority in the restaurants.

Rooms are big and impeccably clean. Mini bar is always full and replenished daily; you can drink and eat everything in the mini bar. The room we got has an excellent view of the sea. There's so many restaurants to choose from, as there are three main properties located next to each other. Food is excellent, including the breakfast spread. There's really nothing to complain about, in my opinion.

It was the perfect getaway to unwind and take a break from work. Shangri-La will always hold a special place in my heart for providing the comfort and relaxation I truly needed. A big thanks to Anne for being very approachable and flexible with all my requests from prior my arrival and throughout my stay. Her attentiveness made my experience seamless and enjoyable. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Mostafa, whom I met during check-out and checked my entire experience. He listened carefully to my feedback and took immediate action which I truly value. Thank you once again for the warm hospitality as always.

Hotel is nice and scenic. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. Overall all service is certainly below the average for similar luxury hotels more specifically in the F&B. We were group of 10 people and tried multiple restaurants. Although we always go with bookings and pre agreed set menus yet the starter takes about 45 minutes to be served. Our experience in the sea food restaurant was not good in terms of delay yet at the Italian restaurant it was extremely horrible where some of us left before they get their main course (we had to wait more than 2 hours for the main course). We tried to speak to the Italian restaurant manager but he did not bother answering us.

This was our second visit to Al Husn and once again the experience was exceptional. Special thanks to Mostafa (General Manager) for his leadership and hospitality, Anne at the front desk for her professionalism, and Said for his consistently excellent service by the pool. Also a big thank-you to Hardik, Pankaj, and Manu from the pool and dining areas – all of them went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The resort remains our favourite in Oman for its beautiful setting, calm atmosphere, and the genuine warmth of the team. We can’t wait to return.

The facilities and service here are incredible. We didn’t want to leave the place! Probably the best service we have ever received from a hotel anywhere in the world. Staff are incredible. We will definitely be returning to Oman to come back here. We loved it so much. Love from Australia!

Hello, I was invited by a friend in this hotel. It was amazing, room very clean and breakfast too. We took the option Afternoon Tea at 25 OMR but we didn’t like. It’s a little ridiculous this afternoon tea because you get just some around 4 little fingers food not really luxury. I can make by myself some of them. The view is beautiful but don’t take tea time. The stay was perfect except this afternoon tea. Thanks you

We still think about Oman at least once a week. This hotel embodied the warmth and hospitality the country is so well known for. Our first week there was wonderfully comfortable and relaxing — the perfect start to our journey through such a unique part of the world.

Beautiful mosque. Built between 1994 and 2001 on a previously free land from the will of the sultan in order to give to Muscat the right place to pray between tradition and modernity. The outside is big with fountains, plants and flowers. Then there is the mosque, outside is magnificent and beautiful to admire with his Carrara's marble (always cleaned and polished), towers and structures. The inside is beautiful too with a chandelier of 8 tons and a beautiful Iranian carpet. A different with other mosque I saw is that here is not possibile to sit and some area of the mosque are fenced. It's possible to roam outside though the halls that are really nice through the morning light (inside, the mosque is open only from 8 to 11). The entrance is free, and the clothes must be respectful.

Absolutely stunning place. The Grand Mosque of Muscat is truly breathtaking, from the intricate carpets to the magnificent chandeliers, every detail reflects beauty and serenity. Even if you don’t get the chance to explore every part of it, simply being there is an experience on its own. It’s a peaceful, inspiring place that I highly recommend visiting. A must-see in Muscat.

The mosque is the definition of magnificient!!!! The grand mosque is just too beautiful , you cant imagine or can see the true beauty from images or videos, perdonally visit this mosque and feel it. Womens can also visit it but only before 11Am also with modest dressing. So keep in mind before visiting. I visited on saturday and it was closed but still got entry as i said "i was going for a prayer" Note:- Dont take videos of the gaurds its not allowed if they found out they will ask ypu to delete the video even from recycle bin Visited on 30th August 2025

The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is absolutely breathtaking. The architecture is immaculate; marble courtyards glowing in the sun, detailed carvings everywhere, and a main prayer hall that feels both grand and deeply peaceful. It’s also free to visit, which still surprises me given how impressive the place is. At the entrance, they provide modest clothing free of charge, which makes the experience easy and respectful for everyone. The staff are welcoming and organized, and the explanations about the mosque’s history are clear without being overwhelming. Whether you’re into architecture, culture, or just want a serene moment, this mosque is a must-see in Muscat. It’s one of those places that stays with you long after you leave.

Excellent place for a visit. I enjoyed my stay very much. The rooms and facility were clean. The staff was very nice and hospitable. The beach is behind the building for quick access. Breakfast Buffet was excellent with a lot of options. I would like to thank Faisal, Jovi, Chatterya and Manager Basheem Al Khalid for their hospitality. I appreciate how wonderful you made my experience.

Perfect 👍 Here’s a polished TripAdvisor-style positive review for Tomato Restaurant and Corazon Hgari: ⸻ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Excellent Dining Experience at Tomato Restaurant! I had an amazing experience at Tomato Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, with a lovely setup that made dining a real pleasure. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish showed real attention to detail, and you could tell the chefs put care into every plate. A special mention goes to Corazon Hgari, our waitress, who made the evening even more enjoyable. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout our meal.

Overall, I highly recommend Tomato Restaurant for anyone looking for great food, a relaxing atmosphere, and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be returning soon! 🍅✨

My recent visit to Intercontinental Trader Vicks in Muscat was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The place has a wonderful atmosphere — warm, lively, and welcoming — making it one of the best dining and social spots in the city. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. A special mention goes to the outstanding management team, particularly Mr. Maiir and Mr. Abdul Latheef, who truly define what genuine hospitality means. Their dedication, attention to detail, and sincere efforts to make every guest feel valued are remarkable. They always go above and beyond to ensure everyone has a perfect experience, and it shows in every aspect of the restaurant’s service. The food at Trader Vicks is another highlight — a wonderful blend of flavors, freshness, and presentation. The quality is consistently top-notch, with a wide selection of dishes to suit all tastes. Every item I tried was beautifully prepared and full of authentic taste. Whether you’re going for a relaxed dinner, a celebration, or just to enjoy a great evening out, Trader Vicks Muscat never disappoints. The ambiance, service, and food together create an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Muscat. Truly one of the best spots in town, with the most welcoming and profess time

Just had the most amazing stay here. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were exceptional and a special mention must go to the Club Lounge team - Alya, Dawood, Marina, Chef Salwa, Melisa and Ana. They looked after us so well. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Also Chef Sunny who prepared meals that were coeliac safe for my son. He went over and above. Can’t wait to come back.

A home away from home! Going to the Palm Club feels like visiting friends. The staff are always so friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. I’ve been a member for over 20 years, and I can honestly say it’s been a wonderful experience throughout. The gym is fantastic — well-equipped, clean, and comfortable — and the pool is a proper, swimmable long pool, with a leisure pool on the side for relaxing. The jacuzzi and sauna are great too! Special thanks to Faizal, who is always motivating and supportive — a true ambassador for the club. Every visit feels like spending time with family while getting a great workout. I absolutely love being part of the Palm Club community!

We spent a night and a day at this lovely hotel. Service was really polite and helpful and available. We arrived early and managed to check in at noon instead of 3pm. Also our flight was late on the next day and we were allowed to stay around the whole day, using the pool and facility. Location is convenient next to the beach and several restaurant outside the hotel (less expensive), however the hotel next door (W?) played very loud music at night and also next day in the afternoon, not great. The room was very clean and comfortable. Shower was very vast and the complimentory washing products of high quality. Fantastic breakfast too! Just one advise: even if this place is international and tolerate both western and traditional local clothing, I wished that someone said something to this horrible western man wearing an obsene "Pattaya - Living the dream" T-shirt with semi naked girls on it, clearly claiming that he went to Thailand to sleep with very young girls: very shocking for everyone, no matter where you're from.

I had a wonderful experience at Palm Beach Club, thanks to the excellent service from Faisal Al Hadi. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my visit. Faisal made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His positive attitude and warm hospitality truly stood out and made the visit memorable

We had a wonderful stay at the Sheraton Hotel in Muscat. The service was excellent and the staff are always attentive and welcoming. The breakfast was a real highlight - amazing spread! I would also like to give special recognition to Sudesh.K, from housekeeping team. He went above and beyond to make our stay feel homely, ensuring our rooms were always perfectly cleaned and welcoming. His attention to detail and friendliness really stood out and made a big difference to our overall experience. Love his surprise note that he place in our room every day:) Overall, I highly recommend the Sheraton Muscat for anyone visiting Oman – great service, excellent facilities, and a truly comfortable stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, and I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the entire team for their warm hospitality. The rooms, cleanliness, and overall ambiance made the experience truly comfortable, but what stood out the most was the exceptional service at the restaurant. A special thank you to Talal, Chef Krishna, and Rashid for their attentiveness, welcoming attitude, and genuine care. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure every meal was delightful. Their professionalism, polite demeanour, and friendly smiles added a personal touch that made my stay memorable. Thank you to the entire team for making me feel at home. I look forward to visiting again!

I stayed at the Sheraton Muscat for three nights during a family wedding, and while the hotel itself was comfortable, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxed stay, what truly stood out was the exceptional service provided by Murtaza Merchant, the Head Service Associate. Throughout our stay, Murtaza ensured that every experience — from in-room dining orders and late-night snacks to our daily lunches at the restaurant — was handled with remarkable warmth and professionalism. He personally looked after every request with genuine care and attention. One gesture I really appreciated was when he prepared a special lemon iced tea for me — and I honestly have to say it was one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s thoughtful touches like these that make a hotel stay feel personal. Across the three days of wedding events, the schedule was busy and unpredictable, yet Murtaza remained consistently calm, accommodating, and committed to making sure everything ran smoothly for us. He checked on us regularly without being intrusive, anticipated what we might need at the table, and made sure every detail was taken care of. His friendly nature, positive attitude, and sincere dedication truly set him apart. Outside the events, the hotel rooms were comfortable, clean, and fully functional. The staff across the property were welcoming, and the overall stay at Sheraton Muscat was excellent. I genuinely recommend the Sheraton Muscat to anyone visiting the city. And a special mention once again to Murtaza, whose hospitality and attentiveness made our stay extra memorable. His service deserves to be recognised and appreciated

Shout out to the service team Ms isuri,prava,das for their superb service. I had a wonderful dinner in asado restaurant. Food was spectacular. Special thankx to the chefs shan,mani,suraj for making my dinner perfect. For the person who recommend the asado at sheraton one and only jereme thank you so much. I will see all of you soon.

The stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful and mainly due to the staf who are so helpfull and welcoming. The rooms were also very clean and comfortable. Every morning at breakfast we were being welcomed/greeted by Agnes with her beautifull smile and always very welcoming. Mohamed and Susan were also excellent. Always very helpfull and even remembered what we liked to drink. On top of that gave us great tips to eat and visit. They were truly so kind. They always greeted you with a smile. We cant forget of course the food that has been taken care of by Darif. My complements. Lastly a big thanks to Venu who took care of our room. Anything we needed he would take care of it. Also big thanks to Suresh as he is also responsible for the rooms. The staff is absolutely excellent. They truly take care of you and always Greet you with a wonderfull smile. I cant wait to visit Muscat again and stay at the Sheraton hotel.

Best value for money! I really recommend this hotel as it is well located in Muscat and offers great value for the price. You will need a car to visit the main attractions, but the area is still convenient. The facilities are excellent. The pool is great, the breakfast is very good, and the food from room service is also delicious. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and I would definitely come back.

Staying at the Sheraton Oman Hotel was an experience that blended luxury, comfort, and genuine Middle Eastern hospitality in the best way possible. The moment I stepped into the lobby, I was struck by how elegant and modern the space felt — tall ceilings, beautiful lighting, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly set the tone for the stay. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and extremely comfortable. The beds were the kind you sink into and forget the outside world, and the large windows offered great views of Muscat’s cityscape and rugged mountains. Every detail felt thoughtful: quiet air-conditioning, high-quality linens, relaxing lighting, and a bathroom that looked like it belonged in a spa. One of the biggest highlights was the breakfast. The buffet was enormous and genuinely impressive — fresh fruit, pastries, hot dishes, Middle Eastern classics, omelets made to order, and coffee that actually tasted good. It’s the kind of breakfast you look forward to waking up for. The pool area was another standout. It felt like a calm escape from the heat, with comfortable lounge chairs and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. The fitness center was modern and well-equipped, and the staff kept everything clean and organized. Speaking of the staff — they were one of the hotel’s strongest points. Friendly, attentive, quick to help, and always polite, they made the stay feel personal. Whether it was housekeeping, the front desk, or the restaurant team, everyone treated guests with genuine warmth. Location-wise, the hotel is in a great spot: close to key attractions, easy to reach by car, and surrounded by shops and restaurants. It’s ideal for both business travelers and tourists exploring Muscat. Overall, the Sheraton Oman Hotel delivers a truly comfortable and refreshing stay, combining luxury amenities with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I’d happily return — and recommend it to anyone visiting Muscat.

I had a wonderful stay in Crowne hotel. South American buffet dinner was divine. Super tasty dishes, gorgeous setup by the pool and friendly service. Breakfast was very tasty too. The hotel outside area was lovely, stairs to the beach and loungers available throughout. Great stay

I’m mesmerized by the quality , hospitality, excellence and great food of te hotel. Even though it’s 4* it’s better than most 5* hotels that I have been! The quality is just wow!!! Beach is the best part! Highly recommended

I love going to the edge for sunset , it’s a really nice lounge with a breathtaking view , they have a nice variety of sushi , service is always on a great level , our favorite waiter is Subin , he is always helpful and can positive

really enjoyed my stay at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The staff were welcoming and professional, the room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. Great location with easy access to nearby attractions. I’d definitely consider staying here again!

Amazing location. Receptionist girl Reem was very polite and friendly, always smiling. Great spacious room with a balcony and sea view. Kettle and tea/coffee available. Water refilling stations are all around hotel 👍 superb breakfast. Waiters are polite and helpful. We enjoyed the infinity adults only pool and private beach. Pool bar is overpriced. No happy hours. No one helped us with our luggage during check in/ check out. Taxi in front of hotel charges double price compared to the app. Glasses fence on the cliffs should be wiped on daily basis, so guests can enjoy the sea view.

Crowne Plaza is a great place for tourism because it is close to the sea and has all the facilities. It is a very beautiful place to stay, with a very quiet and peaceful environment.

it was a comfortable and pleasant stay but the only minor drawback was the small room size

Our stay at Aloft Muscat was truly delightful. We had adjacent rooms, and the staff thoughtfully arranged for them to be connected, which made our experience even more convenient. Housekeeping was excellent—our rooms were cleaned daily, and toiletries were always replenished. My friend’s toddler especially loved the play area, particularly the little slide, while all of us enjoyed spending time together at the rooftop pool. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. They provided warm milk every day for the toddler, and they helped us by decorating one of our rooms to celebrate my friend’s birthday. To top it off, they even presented us with a complimentary red velvet pastry—a wonderful and thoughtful gesture that made the occasion even more memorable. From check-in to check-out, everything was handled with efficiency and genuine warmth. We felt welcomed, cared for, and truly valued as guests. I wholeheartedly recommend Aloft Muscat for anyone seeking a comfortable stay with exceptional service and personal touches.

Un Séjour et un Dîner Fabuleux à l'Aloft Muscat ! (A Fabulous Stay and Dinner at Aloft Muscat!) ​Magnifique! Our whole group, traveling from France, had a truly exceptional stay and, most notably, a delightful dinner at the Aloft Muscat. ​The service and food quality were simply incroyable (incredible). Everything on our plates was prepared with finesse, making our family dinner a real culinary treat. ​I must give a special, heartfelt mention to the incredible team who elevated our evening to a level of true hospitalité (hospitality). Ali, the restaurant in-charge, led his team with such grace. His colleagues, Ganesh and Rahma the hostess who greeted us with a warm welcome, are absolute stars. Their attentiveness and charm made us feel like honored guests. ​Chapeau bas (Hats off) to the entire restaurant staff. This is a must-visit for anyone seeking an excellent meal with five-star service in Muscat. Bravo!

Lovely clean, fresh and comfortable hotel. Spacious rooms with a big bed, black out blinds, great air con and lovely bathroom products. Slept really well here. Nice pool area and staff all very friendly. We also had breakfast and dinner and the selection was fab. Location good for the airport and easy to get a taxi outside straight away.

I had a great experience at Aloft Muscat! The staff were very kind and helpful especially Chandan at the pool, who was really friendly, and Khalid from the front office, who was very professional and supportive. The breakfast was amazing with a lot of options to choose from. Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended!

I had a bad experience at the reception. We were informed that the breakfast charge for kids over 6 years old was 2.5, but when we went to the restaurant after eating, they said it’s actually 5. When I mentioned that the receptionist told us 2.5, the staff said, “You go check yourself, we are not going to check for that.” I believe this is very poor service and not acceptable for guests.

Currently spending a wonderful week here and will be leaving with nothing but fond memories. The hotel is vibrant and is very nicely decorated with bright colours and positive messages throughout. The rooms are spacious and peaceful (one of our rooms on the 2nd floor was facing the Arcade bar which was quite loud at night, so would recommend getting a room on the opposite side). We opted for full board and all three meals in the restaurant were exquisite- a wide and varied buffet for breakfast and dinner, and a three course menu for lunch. Above all the service is fantastic, with everybody welcoming you and greeting you warmly on a daily basis. There are so many to mention here: from the Backstage Restaurant, thank you to Ali, Rajesh and Rahma for being so helpful and kind to me and my whole family everyday. Thank you to Chandu for making our time by the pool relaxing- he was regularly cleaning and looking after the area brilliantly. I hope to come back again as soon as possible!

Having stayed in several places in Muscat, we can confidently say we had our best experience at the Aloft. All the services and room amenities were perfect. As we work in eco tourism and we've our own hosting business, we truly appreciate the effort required to maintain this high level of professionalism. Thanks Aloft team.

Been to a few times, it’s the kind of place you’d finish in a few rounds. There are cafes, restaurants almost everywhere. There’s a food court, with access to kids’ play-zone and leading to the cinema.

Really nice shopping Mall Huge supermarket, nice food court and an amazing kids ply section as I never seen in Europe

Loved it. A clean and well-organized shopping mall. There’s a good variety of stores, including both local and international brands.

My advice speciallu to tourists ; I think this shopping mall is the first one in Muscat. All kinds of shops including different kinds of restaurants , coffee shops , clothing shops , even Home electrical and appliances shops ,.... Are available with huge parking areas . So everyone can get what he wants. Try and you will not be disappointed

"Fantastic experience at City Centre Muscat. Great layout, wide range of stores, clean and well-maintained facilities, and plenty of dining options. Convenient parking and friendly staff made my visit easy and enjoyable—highly recommend."

City Centre Mall in Muscat is a solid spot for a day out. It has a good mix of shops, from popular brands to local stores, and a decent selection of restaurants. The mall is clean and well-organized, making it easy to navigate. The cinema and kids' area are nice touches if you're spending time with family. It does get crowded at times, but overall, it’s a convenient place for shopping and dining.

There are icy pops with various flavors at the city center mall muscat.

My wife and I had an absolutely phenomenal 5-day stay at the Radisson Hotel, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, everything was flawless—impeccable cleanliness, top-notch facilities like the stunning pool, relaxing spa, and well-equipped gym, to the delicious breakfast and exceptional dining at the restaurant. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel truly pampered. I honestly can’t find a single fault; I’m puzzled why it’s rated 4 stars because, in my opinion, this hotel is a perfect 5-star gem!

I stayed in Raddison for two weeks. I had a very good time and it’s located in a very convenient place for shopping and Resturents are very close by. Also they have a wonderful set of employees, especially the Receptionists, pool attendants and room makers are very friendly and helpful. It is recommended.

Would not recommend this place. Google Maps takes you to the wrong parking lot. It’s difficult to drive in that area, especially at night. Connecting to their wifi is a process and much harder than other hotels, vpn totally blocked. Bad satellite TV connection. You can hear music from the bar at night. Beds are hard. House keeping attempted to bust into my room very early with no warning, despite my do not disturb sign. The staff are very friendly but it doesn’t make up for all the inconveniences.

Outstanding Experience!🎈💖🎈 Our overall stay and event experience were exceptional conducting our training program. Special thanks to the Banqueting Team for their professionalism and attention to detail. A heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Trevor Williams, Assistant Manager – Meeting, Events & Group Sales, for his outstanding support and seamless coordination. Truly commendable service!

The team at the Olivia restaurant is extremely friendly and kind. Very helpful and courteous at all-times. The ambiance is 0eaceful and clean. The breakfast spread is fantastic and prepared with a lot of love and attention to detail. Simply love the breakfast!

The party was well supported , organized and managed by the Hotel staff. The food was warm, tasty yet less oily and spicy. Its our favorite location to have parties and the Hotel always lives upto its reputation

Very good service from Sonia in Restaurant. Friendly staff had wonderful stay for 7 days. Swimming pool staff so helpful and kids friendly 👊🏾❤️👌

I had an amazing stay at the Hurmuz Grand Hotel by Radisson Blu in Muscat. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the reception team — especially Farah and Asma, who were incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. They made check-in and check-out smooth and always greeted me with a smile, making me feel truly at home. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was elegant and relaxing. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a great variety of options. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Muscat — exceptional service, great location, and wonderful staff who go above and beyond for their guests.

Exceptional Dining Experience at OMNY Restaurant During our recent stay, we had the pleasure of dining at OMNY Restaurant and were truly impressed by the exceptional quality of both the cuisine and the service. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Soniya provided excellent recommendations for food and wine, each selection complementing our meal perfectly. Ajith and Amir delivered impeccable service with professionalism and warmth, ensuring that every detail was attended to with great care. We also enjoyed a delightful shisha experience prepared by Ahmed, which added a wonderful touch to the evening. The entire team at OMNY demonstrated remarkable hospitality, creating an atmosphere that was both welcoming and memorable. We sincerely appreciate the effort and dedication of everyone involved in making our visit so special. We look forward to returning and will highly recommend OMNY Restaurant to others seeking a truly refined dining experience.

I’ve been staying at the Hormuz Grand Muscat for five days while attending a government training program, and I have to say the experience has been excellent—especially thanks to the amazing staff. The coffee lounge is a perfect place to relax between sessions. The atmosphere is calm and elegant, and the coffee is consistently great. A special mention goes to Ezra, who always greets guests with genuine warmth and friendliness. Her attention to detail and welcoming attitude made every visit to the café a pleasure. I also want to thank Albin, who provided outstanding support in setting up the training program and arranging all the logistics, including reserving the hall. His professionalism and efficiency ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the week. Overall, a wonderful experience that combines comfort, great service, and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommended for both business and leisure stays.

We had a wonderful stay at the Radisson! The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean and the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was fantastic—so much variety—and a special shout-out to Sonia, who went above and beyond to make our two daughters happy with her kindness and those special hot chips! A big thank you also to Majed, Ateqa, and especially Sajjad, and being so accommodating at dinner. With such a friendly and thoughtful team, we’ll definitely be visiting again! Gov Family

A truly wonderful stay! We had an amazing experience at the Radisson Collection, Hormuz Grand. The hotel is absolutely beautiful — elegant design, very clean, and with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was outstanding with so many delicious options. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. A special thanks to Nilou for her great service at the Executive Lounge. We truly felt well taken care of and can’t wait to stay here again!

Our dining experience at OMNY restaurant was great. Chef Naveen did excellent job preparing the food. Service by Soniya was fantastic. She was attentive and provided great service. We not only had food but we also enjoyed the shisha pool side. Ahmed prepared the shisha perfectly!!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. What truly made my experience special was the outstanding service provided by Soniya. She was attentive, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Her warm hospitality made me feel at home and added a personal touch to my visit. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and memorable stay.

We had an amazing stay at JW Marriott Muscat. The people were warm, genuine, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Every part of our experience was excellent, from the reception and catering teams to the spa. A special mention to Kay at breakfast for her exemplary service, and to Benji at the spa, who went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Both stood out for their professionalism and genuine care. A beautiful hotel made even better by an incredible team. We’ll definitely return.

Our stay in rooms 609 and 610, with executive lounge access, was exceptional, and we thoroughly enjoyed every other aspect of the property. We loved the service in our executive lounge as well. Staff was professional and highly courteous. Rooms are spacious and clean. Amenities are comfortable too. However, I am giving a one-star rating solely due to the unacceptable conduct of the reception staff during our check-out on October 21st around 2:20 PM. When booking an O-Taxi, the app location showed 'Block 303.' I approached the two staff members at the reception desk for assistance and confirmation. Instead of offering proper guidance, they were unhelpful, merely confirming the incorrect location and instructing us to exit the gate since O-Taxis were not permitted inside the premises. Crucially, they smirked and laughed at our query. This misinformation and lack of assistance resulted in my 75-year-old mother, my 10-year-old daughter, and myself waiting outside the main gate for over 15 minutes in the afternoon heat while trying to locate our ride. As a Marriott member, I expect staff to provide professional assistance and courtesy, especially when guests are traveling with elderly and young family members. I urge management to review the actions and training of the staff working the reception desk at that time.

Our long stay at the JW Marriott Muscat was absolutely amazing and beyond all our expectations! The facilities are in excellent conditions, the breakfast was delicious, and the hotel is very elegant and comfortable! I would like to thank the entire staff for being so kind, helpful, and respectful to me, my wife, and my 6-month-old baby 😊. I would specially like to thank Nancy from the Guest Relations Department, who was personally contacting me to ensure we were having an outstanding experience. We will definitely be back! Thanks.

This is my second stay at JW Marriott Muscat, and it’s always a great experience. The rooms are amazing — clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The location is also perfect, just about 15 minutes from almost everywhere in Muscat. Highly recommended!

The hotel itself is nothing special but very comfortable. It’s quite corporate meaning generic decor but everything is of good quality. The hat makes it stand out is the service. From the porters who were exceptionally helpful, to the wait staff particularly Sourabh in Kitchen7 and the reception team as well as the amazing room service crew they couldn’t do enough to be friendly, helpful and attentive. The Butter Buns staff also went above and beyond. The only major downside was a very very loud concert in the garden that we weren’t told about before we arrived which went on until 3am on the first night and which was a bit of a nightmare and kept us all awake - but suspect this isn’t a common occurrence. Otherwise. Facilities are good. Shame the rooms have no balconies. The pool is nice but definitely needs twice as many sunbeds and more actually in the sun but we always managed to find one after a bit of work and the actual pool is lush and well maintained! Thanks all.

☺️ Thank you to the JW Marriott Team for making our first trip to the Sultanate of Oman a positive and memorable experience. The team, from front desk to breakfast and room service, were helpful and considerate. The rooms overlooked the serene mountains and the ambience and design features both inside and outside the hotel were appreciated. We were aware that this is not located within the parameters of the city centre however, chose this hotel due to the exceptional facilities, designs of the rooms, and proximity to other areas of Oman, outside of the capital, that we were visiting during the majority of our trip.

We stayed at the JW Marriott Hotel Muscat for 7 nights and had an incredible stay! The hotel is beautiful, clean and the service is excellent in all areas. A big thank you to Lita in the Executive Lounge for her kindness and service as well as Omar and chef Mohamed. We look forward to our next stay and will definitely recommend the JW Marriott Muscat to our friends.

Exemplary Service and Memorable Experience at St. Regis Muscat My recent stay at the St. Regis Hotel in Muscat was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff demonstrated an extraordinary level of attentiveness and a genuine commitment to ensuring that every aspect of my stay was not only comfortable but truly memorable. One team member in particular, Danel Amrina, went above and beyond in ways that left a lasting impression. She was incredibly welcoming, personable, and attentive to detail. During a casual conversation, I mentioned my upcoming trip to Almaty, which happens to be her hometown. To my pleasant surprise, she took the initiative to have a thoughtful package delivered to my room — complete with information about the city, as well as a selection of fruits and sweets. It was a remarkable gesture that perfectly exemplifies the St. Regis standard of personalized service. Danel is undoubtedly an asset to Marriott and to the St. Regis brand in particular. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication to guest satisfaction reflect the highest standards of hospitality. I felt compelled to take time out of my busy schedule to recognize her exemplary performance and commitment to excellence. Kudos to St. Regis Muscat for recruiting such a talented and passionate young woman. With associates like Danel, it’s no wonder this property stands out as one of the finest luxury hotels in the region.

I had a wonderful stay at The St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and our room was stunning: elegant, comfortable, and perfectly appointed. Every culinary experience was exquisite. What made our experience even more memorable was the exceptional service. The entire team was incredibly friendly, responsive, and professional, always going above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and well taken care of. A special thanks to Rilwan, Hassan, and Lukmen for their outstanding attention and care, they truly made our stay extra special. I cannot recommend The St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat highly enough and look forward to returning in the future.

What a pristine experience our stay at the St. Regis was! We stayed for 11 nights, and how I wish we could’ve stayed longer! Absolutely amazing, nothing was short of extraordinary; very nice and luxurious hotel, very neat, clean, and very well kept. But putting all that aside; I whole heartedly know that our experience wouldn’t be this memorable if it wasn’t for the staff. I’ve been personally moved by how kind, nice, eloquent, friendly, accommodating, and hospitable every member we interacted with was. I enjoyed my conversations with Danel from the Butler services and I appreciate all her help and assistance. Joie and Lamya from the adventure hub were more than amazing and my 2 daughters loved going and spending time with them. I remember Ali, Saeed, and Francis from the lobby who were so very nice. Ms. Kaira (I hope I got the name right) from the front desk was extremely attentive and I appreciate it so much. Ryan and his kindness and smile. The lifeguards, the security and the hard working guys around the pool, and the guys at the pool bar, thank you guys so much, you made us feel welcome and comfortable. Deepa from housekeeping was such a sunshine; her sweet and bright smile is one I will forever remember. And last but not least, the team at Zorba where we had breakfast everyday! Seeing them was such a great start of the day. Susika and her words of affirmation every morning are like a mantra I’d forever repeat to myself now. Joy and his welcoming and attentive smile. Michael and the amazing French toast he recommended and made sure I had warm and toasty every single day. Hamzeh’s attentiveness and care for our daughters. Prity who was calm and pretty. And to all the other now familiar faces, thank you so very much. And I wish you all the best at Karibu. Cannot wait to be back and try it out! Thank you all 🤍 Room 440

Rahul is truly exceptional. From the moment you walk into the fitness and recreation center, his warm welcome and genuine professionalism set the tone for a great experience. He runs the facility with precision and care — everything is always spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully maintained. What stands out most is Rahul’s attentiveness and personal touch. He remembers guests by name, goes out of his way to accommodate individual needs, and ensures that every session — whether a workout, a swim, or just time to unwind — feels seamless and relaxing. His dedication and positive energy elevate the entire experience, making the St. Regis fitness center one of the best I’ve visited anywhere. A true credit to the property and a key reason I look forward to returning each time.

This was my 2nd part of my Muscat trip and I must say, The St. Regis really did not disappoint, the second I arrived Munia ensured that I was well looked after with a smooth and quick check-in followed by a welcoming tour of the hotel ensuring I knew where everything was. Another special part of this stay was the butler service, where I would like to thank Ilhan for going above and beyond, from ironing services to restaurant reservations, he also provided me with interesting facts about The St. Regis and shared a passion and love for the hotel. And lastly, I would like to thank Ahmed in Karibu, who made sure my cup was never empty of Karak at breakfast haha!

Amazing stay there! Staff is very friendly and welcoming, always making sure you have everything you need. Lots of restaurants and cafés / bars available in the hotel. Very nice swimming pool and beach front with amazing service (fresh water, towels), great and very Well equipped gym, and amazing facilities. Rooms are really beautiful, especially with sea view. Breakfast is truly amazing too!

Excellent! The room was spotless, well-equipped and comfortable with amazing view to the pool and sea. Staff were professional, friendly and attentive to every detail. Love the kid place to play and enjoy, and all restaurants are amazing as well. A wonderful experience that I would gladly recommend to others.

A must visit spots for tourists. Most shops are so friendly. Good prices. Quality items. Can even found roman & gladiator's iron helmet here. Its an airconditioned souq. Great place to hide from hot sunny weather outside.

That’s crazy old. Feels like I am at 1940. There are Indians trading everywhere. And Foreigners who are buying. Old fashioned shop. Clean only where is trading, if you come beyond the market it’s so dirty and dark. It’s safe, no worries at all. For experience it’s nice. Prices are highly overpriced and goods are there over-old and not fresh. Maybe some shops are genuine, you may bargain and get things really cheap. Very boring place. Cafes there don’t have any customer service. However it’s a heritage and it’s somehow beautiful and entertaining. There is gold market. Fancy and excited.

The souq is one of Oman’s oldest and most vibrant markets, offering a captivating journey through the nation’s rich trading heritage. Overlooking the harbor, it dates back several centuries to a time when Muscat was a major port linking Arabia with India, Persia, and Africa. Locally known as “Souq Al Dhalam,” or “The Dark Market,” its narrow, winding lanes are shaded by wooden roofs and filled with the enchanting scents of frankincense, myrrh, spices, and oud. Inside, more than 800 shops sell a colorful mix of Omani silver jewelry, khanjars, handcrafted textiles, pottery, and perfumes, blending old traditions with modern touches. Originally built with palm leaves and mud walls, the souq has been carefully restored to preserve its authentic character while remaining a lively hub for both locals and visitors. Friendly vendors welcome you to browse and bargain, and as the day fades, the soft evening lights make it even more charming.

Absolutely loved visiting Mutrah Souq! It’s a beautiful blend of tradition, culture, and color. The narrow lanes, friendly shopkeepers, and the mix of scents from frankincense, spices, and perfumes make it such a unique experience. You can find everything here — from traditional Omani souvenirs and jewelry to clothes and local handicrafts. The atmosphere is lively yet welcoming, and it really captures the spirit of old Muscat. A must-visit spot for anyone coming to Oman!

The place looked beautiful with all the lights during the night time, but the only issue we faced was parking… it was hard to find a spot on the weekend. However, if you go a bit further, there’s a large parking area near the musical fountain.

The Souq in Mutrah, the old commercial centre of Muscat is magical. It fronts the 'Corniche' the harbour where His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik's dhow is anchored as well as cruise ships and Omani naval vessels. Mutrah souq offers just about everything of Omani origin, such as hessian bags of frankincense, pots of herbs and spices and dried out rose petals from Jebel Akdhar, as well as pungent perfumes such as bukhoor, all offered for sale by cheerful vendors, there are also pashminas and Omani caps, robes and turbans of every colour and of course khanjars both antique and brand new, the traditional ceremonial dagger of Oman. I picked up a lovely wooden whistle that plays Irish jigs melodiously!Mutrah also boasts a Gold Souq which is brimming with shops selling jewellery of all design styles. Muttrah Souq is a must-visit destination, known for its beautiful location and stunning sea view. It is one of Oman’s most famous traditional markets, offering a unique blend of authenticity and variety in traditional products. The prices are reasonable, and the market features a remarkable gold section with exquisite modern and classic designs. Walking through its narrow alleys filled with the rich scents of frankincense and spices is an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend visiting to explore its charm and discover the beauty of Omani craftsmanship. A truly exceptional market.

Visited Mutrah Souq, one of the oldest traditional markets in Oman, dating back over a century. This historic marketplace has been a major trading hub for goods like spices, perfumes, textiles, and gold, reflecting Oman’s rich maritime past. I really enjoyed exploring the narrow lanes filled with the aroma of frankincense and traditional Omani charm. Many of the shopkeepers are Malayalees, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Picked up some beautiful souvenirs from here

Visiting the Oman Museum was a truly enriching and enjoyable experience. The museum is beautifully designed, both architecturally and in the way exhibits are presented. Each section takes you on a journey through different parts of Oman’s rich history—from ancient civilizations to modern developments—offering a well-curated glimpse into the country’s heritage, culture, and achievements. What stood out to me most was the thoughtful and engaging layout of the exhibits. Artifacts, visuals, and multimedia elements are displayed in a way that’s easy to follow, yet informative and captivating. It felt immersive without being overwhelming. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Their friendliness added to the overall positive atmosphere of the museum. It was also a nice surprise to have access to free internet throughout the visit, which made it convenient to look up more information or share the experience in real time. Another great feature is that photography is allowed, which meant I could capture and keep memories of some of my favorite displays. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking to understand more about Oman’s identity, this museum is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended for visitors of all ages.

The National Museum is located right in front of Al Alam Palace, making the entire area a beautiful and well-maintained spot in Muscat. The surroundings are perfect for a leisurely walk, photography, and soaking in the city’s royal and cultural ambiance. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to visit inside the museum, but it’s known for its impressive collection of Omani artifacts, heritage exhibits, and historical displays — definitely worth a visit if you have more time.

A place that connects you to history and showcases Oman’s achievements across the centuries. It offers an educational and cultural experience that adds a magical touch to your visit. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, cooperative, and generous. Truly a memorable destination.

The National Museum of Oman features 14 themed exhibition halls, systematically showcasing Oman's development from prehistoric civilization to the present day. Covering themes such as "Land and People," "The Glory of Islam," and "Maritime History," the museum houses over 7,000 artifacts. Featured items include Omani daggers, such as the Sayidi dagger, featuring a rhino horn hilt, silver-threaded leather strap, and intricate decorative patterns.

its a wonderful museum opposite the sultan's palace a beautiful building i can compare the bahrain museum to the cathar and omani museum the weakest the bahrain museum has almost nothing there the qatar museum is like a local history exhibition the cathar museum is very nice and high quality almost the same or higher level the building is fantastically modern this exhibition carries the oman culture the high standards and the interestingness definitely visit it pay attention that it is usually only open until four in the afternoon and an hour before that you probably won't get a ticket it's only friday it's open until five i recommend it very nice the pictures speak for themselves

Very nice museum, super interesting also highlighting the relation with other nations. Even as a foreign student it was free for me which was also a nice bonus.

A wonderful journey into the history of Oman. As you meander through the 2 storey museum, iIt reignites a love for this country, its people and natural wonders. I recommend visiting on a weekend end as schools plan trips during the week.

Muscat’s most iconic landmark, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and traditional Omani architecture, it offers a perfect backdrop for photos. Though visitors cannot enter inside, the view from outside is truly worth it. The area is clean, peaceful, and gives a royal feel!

Al Alam Palace is one of the main official residences of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik and stands as an important symbol of Oman’s governance and history. The original structure was built over 200 years ago by Imam Sultan bin Ahmed, and the current palace was rebuilt in 1972. The building features a distinctive blue and gold facade and is framed by the historic Portuguese forts of Mirani and Jalali, dating back to the 16th century. Together, they form a setting that reflects both Muscat’s defensive past and its modern architectural identity. Although the palace is not open to visitors, the public area in front of it offers a clear view and is well maintained. The walkway leading to the gates is clean and organized, making it a pleasant short visit, especially for those interested in Omani history and culture. A brief stop here provides a good sense of the country’s royal heritage and the surrounding Old Muscat area.

Al Alam Palace is must visit place in Muscat. No entry inside the palace allowed but view from the outside is great too. This place represents the traditional architecture, surrounded by greenery and hills. I enjoyed walking near the palace despite it was hot afternoon.

Al Alam Palace is also a must-visit attraction in Muscat. Though visitors are not allowed inside the palace grounds, the exterior itself is stunning and offers excellent photo opportunities. The palace, with its striking blue and gold façade, is one of the six royal residences of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq. The surrounding area is beautifully maintained, with clean walkways and impressive architecture all around. I visited at night as well — the palace looked magnificent under the lights, creating a truly royal and peaceful atmosphere.

We visited Al Alam Palace in Muscat, and while we didn’t get to go inside, the exterior was still an impressive sight. Built in the 1970s, Al Alam Palace serves as the ceremonial palace of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, Oman’s current ruler. The palace stands as a symbol of Oman's heritage, with its stunning blend of traditional Islamic and modern architectural styles. The blue and gold accents on the façade are especially striking and contrast beautifully with the surrounding natural landscape, including the rugged hills and tranquil water nearby. The palace is located in a picturesque area, right next to the Al Jalali and Al Mirani forts, which add to its historic significance. The surrounding gardens and the views of the coastline make it an ideal spot for photos and a peaceful visit, but unfortunately, access to the interior is restricted. While you can’t go inside, it’s still worth stopping by to admire the architecture and learn a bit about Oman's history and royal heritage. The palace has long been a symbol of Oman’s modernization and continued stability, and while we could only view it from the outside, it’s clear why it holds such importance. The National Museum of Oman is located just opposite to the main entrance.

A Must Visit Gem in Muscat! Al Alam Palace is absolutely beautiful; a perfect blend of royal elegance and vibrant Omani architecture. The palace grounds are spotless and well-maintained, with colorful gardens and stunning views. Even though visitors can’t go inside, it’s a great spot for photos and a must-see when exploring the city. Truly a symbol of Oman’s royal heritage! 🇴🇲✨

Al Alam Palace is the ceremonial palace of the Sultan of Oman and used welcoming foreign dignitaries and heads of state etc. Visited it from outside. The striking blue color of the palace makes it special, that is visible from a distance. Pictures can be taken both from the front and the back.

We have an amazing dining experience at the Mosaic Restaurant in Crowne Plaza. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting — elegant yet comfortable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. Special mention to Elvira, Richard and Mayo. The buffet selection was impressive, offering a perfect mix of international and local dishes. Every item I tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The live cooking stations added a nice interactive touch, and the dessert spread was simply irresistible. Overall, it was a truly enjoyable dining experience, perfect for family gatherings or a special evening out. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Mosaic Restaurant to anyone looking for great food and warm hospitality in Muscat! Special thanks to Ms. Elvira, Richard and Mayo who look after during our dine in.

I had a wonderful experience at the café in Crowne Plaza OCEC Muscat, thanks to Camellia, the barista. She has such a lovely and welcoming nature — always smiling and making guests feel comfortable. Her positive attitude and warm personality truly brighten the atmosphere. The service was excellent, and the coffee she prepared was perfect. Camellia’s attention to detail and genuine care for customers make every visit a pleasant one. Highly recommend stopping by and being served by her! ❤️

Had an amazing birthday breakfast at Mosaic Restaurant, Crowne Plaza – OCEC! 🎉 The buffet was fantastic. I was so touched to find birthday cards waiting for me. The surprise cake was absolutely delicious! Huge thanks to Elvira, Myo, Sai, Richard, and Akhbar for making my day truly special. 💕

Our experience at Crowne Plaza Muscat OCEC was absolutely fantastic! We organized the Women Future Cities Summit & Awards at the hotel, and we received exceptional support from the entire team, especially from Mr. Mahmoud from Banqueting and the Catering Manager, who assisted us immensely in making the event a complete success. The service was excellent, the organization was top-notch, and the team was very professional, friendly, and attentive to our needs. We truly appreciate the hotel for this wonderful experience and look forward to future collaborations.

I had such a lovely experience at the hotel shop thanks to Camellia! She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always had a smile on her face. The sandwiches she sells are fresh, tasty, and made with care. Her positive attitude really made my day. Thank you, Camellia, for making every visit so enjoyable!

It was a wonderful and very comfortable experience. Many thanks to the staff for the ease of procedures and kind treatment, especially Fahad Al Balushi, Hussam, and the room service worker, Aaron. All thanks and appreciation, and I hope to return for the excellent experience in this hotel.

Crown Plaza truly feels like my second home. The way the staff treat me makes me feel like I’m with family — always professional, kind, and welcoming. Special thanks to Mary, Haha, and the Reception Manager Ms. Fatimah for their usual help and outstanding support. You all make every stay exceptional!

The museum is unfortunately closed so we just had to be happy walking around the place. The website has not updated the status and this is a big problem for tourists.

Small cosy museum. Very convenient for tourist visiting Sultan Qaboos port. Gives a quick view about Oman history and geology.

A very beautiful museum that displays through interactive exhibits and exhibits, from their geological formation to ancient and marine life and folk art.

All artificial things... Not a museum but an art gallery..

We went there on weekdays but it was closed, the worst thing that can happen to the visitor is to go to a place where they state it is open from 9 to 6 but supposedly you find it closed with no reason and there is no update in google, if there is maintenance or anything why you don't say ? I hope the management takes tourists attraction places seriously, it is not your own to close it ore open it anytime you wish

A place NOT TO BE MISSED during a visit to muscat. Actually, I visited this place twice, because I didnt have enough of it from the first time. An old Omani house converted into a museum for local culture and omani history. The interior is an architectural masterpiece especially the woodwork, spaces and light. Some of the rooms has been converted into media tools to explain the geological formation of Omaan as well as history timeline.

Small museum about the rich history of the sultanate of Oman

Review: Bateel Muscat Restaurant I recently dined at Bateel Muscat and had a delightful experience overall. The service was exceptional, with a special mention to Joy, who was attentive and ensured we had a pleasant dining experience. Her warm and friendly demeanor truly stood out. The food was delicious, and each dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. However, I was disappointed to find that the French onion soup was not available during my visit. It was something I was looking forward to, and its absence was a letdown. Another point of disappointment was the chamomile tea. I was expecting loose leaf tea, but it was served in a tea bag instead. This small detail took away from the otherwise high-quality experience. Overall, Bateel Muscat offers tasty food and excellent service, but there are a few areas that could use improvement.

Cafe Bateel is one of my favourites for a relaxed meal. I highly recommend the grilled salmon with quinoa and a side of sautéed potatoes. Simple, fresh, and full of flavour. I also love their classic balsamic date vinegar, which I often take home. A great spot for both dining and gourmet products.

Excellent service and prompt service. Great breakfast with nice views of the marina. Spiced Arabic Qawah is the best. Taste is consistent with other branches. Bateel breakfast combo is good value for money. Dates butter is yummy

Outside area nice (at sun set time). Food & drinks are pricey, but that was to be expected in this area and with the reputation they want to keep up. The service (during my visit) was kind of slow. Nobody asked whether we liked our drinks, nor were we asked whether we needed something else. The Dubai branch is better in dealing with customer service, I noticed.

Bateel is one of the best dining experience in Almoug. Their breakfast is must-try-rich and incredibly flavorful. We ordered avocado toast with egg and omelette. I highly recommend them there were fresh and well-balanced. The staff were attentive and friendly.

Service was good…i had the grilled chicken it was tasty & full of flavors 👌the margarita pizza not so much

Unfortunately, the food level has declined over the recent years. The desserts used to have so much taste and flavor but now, it’s mediocre at best. The drinks are decent - the coffee, the ice teas and the other drinks with ginger ales and soda. The french toast is also great. However, the rest are questionable. The service is a little slow.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Centara Hotel Muscat, and it was a truly pleasant experience. The rooms are modern, spacious, and very comfortable, while the food was excellent with a good mix of variety and taste. What impressed me most was the hospitality – the staff were attentive, professional, and always welcoming. The hotel’s location is excellent, making it convenient for both business and leisure. For those visiting Muscat for meetings, networking, or conferences, Centara offers the right balance of comfort and accessibility, which makes it a great choice for business travelers as well. Good vegetarian food available Nearby. Lot of vegetarian food available nearby like Udupi, sarvana, Aryas, Vasantha Bhawan. A stay here feels less like a routine trip and more like a refreshing experience.

We booked two rooms, and both were spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and supportive, and the location was convenient with supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Breakfast was great with a good variety of options, although I did notice mosquitoes around the uncovered fruits on two occasions. Thankfully, the issue was later addressed by covering the fruits. The only other downside was the swimming pool, which seemed to require some maintenance. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with just a couple of minor areas for improvement.

We stayed at Centara Hotel, and it truly exceeded all our expectations! Compared to the Royal Tulip Hotel, which has many more reviews, the value for money and quality at Centara is much better. The location is excellent, surrounded by plenty of good restaurants and shops. The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming, the rooms were clean and modern, and everything contributed to making our stay unforgettable. I would especially like to highlight the spa staff on the ninth floor — I highly recommend trying the Thai massage!

This was, without exaggeration, the worst hotel stay we have ever experienced. We booked five rooms, and not a single air conditioner was working. We spent five miserable hours in the heat before the management finally moved us to different rooms. That level of neglect is simply unacceptable. One of the new rooms had three guests, so the hotel provided an extra bed, but what they gave us was an absolute disgrace. The mattress was filthy, torn, stained, full of holes, and completely unhygienic. It was in such bad condition that even an animal shouldn't be expected to sleep on it. Shockingly, this disgusting mattress was arranged by the housekeeping manager himself, who clearly had no idea how to manage the situation. Instead of solving the problem, he made it worse. It is absolutely appalling that a hotel would think it's okay to offer something like this to paying guests. To make things worse, the swimming pool area was dangerous. The tiles were broken and sharp, and all of us ended up with cuts on our feet. It was a serious safety hazard, and clearly, the hotel has done nothing to maintain even basic standards. This experience was not just disappointing — it was infuriating. The condition of the rooms, the unprofessional and careless staff, the complete lack of accountability. We will never return..

Great hotel, amazing breakfast… Location isn’t the best, but you can get a taxi to anywhere very easily. The swimming pool tiles are coming off, but honestly it’s still very enjoyable and amazingly calm.

We loved this place. Great ambience, amazing pool and the spa is a great luxury. There's also quite a few places to eat in the street which is convenient.

This should have been a 3-star hotel at best. I booked a deluxe room, but the towels were torn, the floor wasn’t clean, and the minibar was empty. Overall, it felt more like a guesthouse than a hotel, and the location is in the middle of a construction area, which gives a misleading impression of Muscat.

Today 21 Sep 2025, it close but you can free to enjoy the view from the gate.

This gate marks the western entrance to the old city. Historic accounts mention in 1624 the building of an earthen land wall was started. Previously the city was mainly protected by two forts at the sea side that was most vulnerable to attack by Ottomans and Portuguese. The latter after having established their power in Muscat were challenged by Omani tribes living in the interior (landside). in 1650 the Portuguese were ousted. What started as an earthen wall was upgraded through the ages. The gate structure houses a museum on the upper floor.We could not enter as the venue was closed. The views from the Gate were good. We returned a couple of hours later and the facility was still closed.

This is not so big museum but it's a gem. We totally enjoyed it there. The sitting place under the tree was heavenly. Cool breeze from the sea was mind blowing weather. Although no one was there, gate was open, we went inside, but lights were off, couldn’t find switches to turn it on. Recommend if you have enough time in Muscat.

It has nice ambience for evening walk/family outing ...... But we cannot access the museum in the evenings/weekends/Public holidays, as it is working only on weekdays from 8am to 2pm...... So we may have to take a day off to visit the places which are accessible only on weekdays (we have many places like this in oman.... esp forts and museums ....where expatriates cannot go on holidays)

A small modern and very well presented museum. Lots of interesting historic I formation. Informative polite staff who are very willing to answer your questions. We'll worth a trip. Not too big as to overwhelme you with I formation.

Free entry, good collection of exhibits showcasing history of Oman. Good photo opportunity, multiple entry n exits available. A mini amphitheater also exists. Toilet was locked-probably meant for staff only.

This is not so big museum but it's a gem. We totally enjoyed it there. Hope they update the telephone number. I did mention to the person who was there but let's see if they would update it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) We had our long service award ceremony at Hilton Garden Inn Muscat, together with a company meeting with our management team. The hotel staff arranged everything very well and were supportive throughout the event. The ceremony setup and seating arrangements were done nicely, and the overall environment was comfortable for both the meeting and the lunch. The buffet lunch was good, although there were only two main courses, the food quality was nice. The desserts and coffee machine options were also very satisfying. Overall, it was a smooth and well-organized experience, and we appreciate the team at Hilton Muscat for their efforts.

I had a wonderful stay at the Hilton Garden Inn, Al Khuwair. This is a beautiful property located right in the heart of Muscat — an ideal base whether you're visiting for business or leisure. The location is excellent, with easy accessibility to Muscat International Airport as well as key attractions like Mutrah. What truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. We especially appreciated their support in arranging a late check-out to match our late-night flight — a small gesture that made a big difference. The breakfast buffet was another highlight — a great variety of options, all fresh and very satisfying. Overall, I’m really glad we chose this hotel. The comfort, service, and convenience made our visit to Muscat even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Where can I begin?! This hotel is jus such a wonderful home away from home. I can say truthfully that all other positive comments about the staff here are true! The moment you walk to reception you’re given a warm welcome! If you’re a Gold++ member they will acknowledge you and give you the benefits that come with this tier. The rooms are clean. Really clean. The housekeeping staff so kind too! Special mentions for Saif who was a new hire but clearly knew his job well! The breakfast staff including the attendants and chefs were exemplary. No request was too much and they did it with care and class. Obviously this isn’t some 7 star building but I would ditch that and stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Muscat any day! Well done.

My stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Muscat was truly delightful! From arrival to departure, the service was consistently excellent. The staff were incredibly welcoming, efficient, and always ready to assist with a warm smile. Their dedication to guest comfort really stood out and made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. The room itself was fantastic – spacious, impeccably clean, and very well-appointed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep, and the modern amenities provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful layout and the sense of calm and quiet in the room after a day of exploring Muscat. Breakfast was a definite highlight! The buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, from local Omani specialties to international favorites. Everything was fresh, hot, and constantly replenished. It was the perfect start to each day, with something to satisfy every palate. Beyond the room and breakfast, the hotel's overall services were top-notch, The convenient location also made it easy to access nearby attractions. I highly recommend the Hilton Garden Inn Muscat for anyone visiting the city – it truly offers exceptional value and a memorable stay!

After a week spent in this lovely place I can confirm it is worth the stay. Staff very friendly and respectful. With no issues I had my room swapped from 6th floor (yes yes I'm afraid of heights) to second floor with a garden view. Will definitely use when next time in Muscat.

I have been a regular guest at this hotel in Muscat. I've conducted numerous workshops and business meetings here. Staff are very efficient, skilled and intelligent. They know their job extremely well. I recommend this place for business meetings especially. Mr. Hector shows personal interest and commitment in organizing everything. Thank you.

Had a great experience here during a 24 hour layover in Muscat. Enjoyed the breakfast and the gym. The room was clean and modern. The icing on the cake was the late checkout which made everything much more convenient.

Muscat International Airport is one of the best airports I’ve ever visited. The design is modern, spacious, and beautifully maintained, giving a true world-class feel from the moment you arrive. The staff are polite and helpful, the facilities are spotless, and everything—from check-in to boarding—runs smoothly and efficiently. The lounges, shops, offer great variety and comfort, making travel through this airport a pleasant experience. Overall, a 5-star airport that perfectly reflects the warm hospitality and elegance of Oman!

Good Airport but Needs Better Maintenance Overall, the airport is nice and well-managed, but some of the toilet taps are broken and need proper maintenance. Cleanliness and facilities could be improved a bit. Otherwise, the airport is good and comfortable for travelers. ✈️

Come here for transit in 19/08/2025 for 20 hours, yes, 20 hours.. Pro: - Well designed airport - Good airport lounge with fresh cooked food (they cook and refill emptied trays simultaneously) - Comfortable praying room - Numbers of lazy chairs and electric plug Cons: - The staff in Oman Air counter not there. I want to ask about hotel room, but because it took so long to wait until the staff came, I just leave and go to the lounge..

This world class airport is Beautiful, clean, immense and very impressive, the ambiance is wonderful and the facilities are plentiful. Easy to navigate and very calm but I found the duty free shops to be very expensive judging by some of the items in a shop (e.g small can of starbucks coffee $10, enought to put me off looking at other things) but overall a well presented and very comfortable and lovely airport.

Very calm, relaxed and excellent hospitality by all the staff. Smiling faces and ready to help. Airport architecture intelligent and beautiful, all gates are easy to reach, not to far away. Food court could be a bit larger to accommodate the traffic. One does have a kfc, and a Mac Donald outlet apart from a couple of others at the food court. Here is a peek at the gate area.

We arrived here just for transit. It's so comfy. Quite many resting spots. The toilets are clean. The prayer room is convenient. We didn't get much yelled by staff, unlike at KSA 😅

Muscat International Airport is a modern and beautifully designed airport with impressive architecture. Everything is well-organized and styled in a contemporary manner. Formerly known as Seeb International Airport, it offers a pleasant travel experience. The immigration process was smooth — the officers were polite, and there were no unnecessary questions or hassles. One slightly unusual thing was that boarding gates were announced only about half an hour before departure, so passengers had to wait in front of the screens to find out their gate numbers. Overall, it’s a good airport with decent staff and excellent facilities.

This place evokes a sense of tranquility and peace. The gentle breeze whispers through the trees, creating a soothing melody. Sunlight filters through the leaves, dappling the ground with light. A sense of calm washes over you as you take in the serene surroundings. It's a perfect spot to escape the everyday hustle and find solace.

Here’s a nice review you can use for Riyam Park: Review: Riyam Park is a beautiful and relaxing place to visit with family and kids. The green spaces and playground make it perfect for children to play, and the view from the park is really nice, especially in the evening. We had a great time enjoying the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere. If you’d like, I can also help you draft one that’s shorter, more detailed, or more formal — just say the word!

The park provides a lovely view, situated at a higher elevation. From this vantage point, the vast sea stretches out before us. A refreshing breeze consistently graces this area, enhancing the experience. It makes the perfect environment for a leisurely visit. The elevated position offers a unique perspective and a different climate. Many people like to spend time enjoying the scenery there. The park is a great option to visit at any time. You may consider visiting it.

Beautiful park 15 min walk from mutual souk. You can hear the sound of birds and see Beautiful flowers . There is a kids play area also with some swings and slides. Overall a beautiful place for picnics and passing time.

Always the best view of MUTTRAH it’s a iconic and beautiful sculpture visible from the muttrah Cornish .’ Free parking 🅿️ please note 🚯 don’t put your waste in parking lots !!! There’s different verities of sea birds 🦢 is harmful for them always try to protect them they have food from the nature you don’t have to feed them and make them lazy 😛 stay aways from high strong tides hitting the walls hold hand of you kids below 6 while your at edge of the walls Enjoy the free view

Located along the picturesque Mutrah Corniche, this park offers breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding mountains. The well-kept green lawns and gardens provide a tranquil setting perfect for picnics and leisurely walks The walking trails are excellent, especially the hike up to the Riyam Monument, which rewards you with panoramic views that are simply stunning. Facilities are clean and convenient, with ample seating areas and restrooms. The presence of food vendors adds to the overall experience, making it easy to grab a snack or refreshment.

"A peaceful park with a stunning seaside view — calm, quiet, and perfect for relaxing or just enjoying nature."

A peaceful and unique spot in Muscat, perfect for tourists looking for an authentic Omani experience. About 45 km from the airport, easy to reach. Best time to visit is October to March. Known for local crafts, friendly people, and calm vibes. A must-visit for cultural and scenic lovers! Highly recommended for travelers who love peaceful spots and real cultural experiences.

Such a peaceful place. I went here to read my book and it was beautiful. The scenery and the calm sound of the sea waves and overall cleanness of the place.

It's a nice and clean place to take a long walk along the water. I felt safe to walk there alone even at night. Where there is the small water show, you can also buy some ice cream and thing to drink (at least they was there when i pass by). They take credit card. During the walk you can have a view of the fort even at night with the light and nice view of the city...

We had a wonderful visit to Mutrah Corniche, now even more delightful with the new musical fountain that adds charm for evenings. It’s an ideal hangout spot for families and kids, offering scenic sea views, artful walkways, and soothing music that enhances the atmosphere. The well-maintained promenade is perfect for strolling, relaxing, and enjoying the coastal breeze. Just a heads-up: parking can be quite difficult during weekend rush hours, so visiting by taxi or earlier in the day is a good idea. Overall, a lovely family-friendly destination with views and entertainment for all ages.

Beautiful area for a walk around the coast. Saw an array of marine life, including at least 6 sea turtles, pufferfish and crabs. The path itself is beautiful and shows the effort that has gone into developing this area, making it a beautiful place to explore. Would highly recommend doing this walk.

Mutrah Corniche is a must-visit area in Muscat — a beautiful and peaceful waterfront promenade that perfectly captures the charm of the city. Lined with traditional buildings, cafes, and views of the harbor, it’s a great place for a relaxing walk, especially in the evening when the lights reflect on the water. The highlight of the Corniche is the stunning view of the Sultan’s royal yacht, often anchored nearby, adding a touch of royal elegance to the scenery. With the sea on one side and the mountains on the other, Mutrah Corniche offers one of the most picturesque and serene experiences in Muscat.

nice corniche to walk along at night. views of the dock and the fort. busy during the evening and night when it’s a lot cooler and less heat

Thank you to prathmesh for providing an excellent service The cleaning staff( prathmesh), provided excellent service throughout our stay. They were always prompt in responding to requests and ensured that extra toiletries were supplied whenever needed. Their polite and respectful attitude, especially towards our elderly parents, was greatly appreciated. The team worked quickly and efficiently, maintaining a high standard of cleanliness at all times. Their professionalism and attention to detail made our experience very comfortable. Overall, a reliable, courteous, and efficient service — highly recommended. Only note for the hotel - pillows could be better .

I recently stayed at the Mysk Hotel in Muscat with a companion and wanted to share my experience. We checked in late at night, and the reception staff was very welcoming. Upon arrival, we inquired about a dental kit, and they assured us it would be brought to our room. However, we received only one dental kit along with a shaving kit, which was a bit disappointing. The hotel itself has a pleasant and fresh atmosphere. Breakfast was included in our stay, but since we checked in very late, we unfortunately missed it. Our room had a lovely sea view, which was definitely a highlight. However, I found the bed to be somewhat uncomfortable. The pillows were very thin, and the duvet felt flimsy, giving the impression that the bedding was older and in need of replacement. Additionally, I noticed a hair on the shampoo bottles in the shower, indicating that cleanliness could use some improvement. On the positive side, the room provided cozy amenities like slippers, a bathrobe, an ironing board, and an iron. One thing I did miss was coffee in the room; having that option in the morning would have been nice. Overall, the Mysk Hotel left a decent impression. It's comfortable enough for business trips, but a few improvements could make the stay even more enjoyable

Great experience at Mysk Hotel. The pool area was clean and relaxing, and watching the sunset there was beautiful. Shashin who works at the pool area, was very friendly and helpful. The room service was excellent,quick and well done. The location is also perfect, close to almouj marina.

I had an amazing experience thanks to Risana, one of the waitresses at Mysk Al Mouj(salt and pepper restaurant). She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional throughout my visit. Her warm attitude and excellent service truly made my meal memorable. Thank you, Risana, for your outstanding hospitality — you are a real asset to the hotel.

1. Location: 2 mins walk to the Marina for water activities. 2-3 mins walk to The Walk for shopping and just downstairs with multiple dining options. 2. Atmosphere: welcoming staff and they suggested us if we would pay a bit more to upgrade to sea view room which we did. It was third floor and we could see Marina and the restaurants. Not too noisy at night. 3. Rooms are bright, tidy and clean. 4. Food: welcoming staff had 3 times of breakfast and 1 time of dinner. Breakfast was amazing and we could spend two hours enjoying the variety of food. There are crepe and Regag bread freshly made. Yummy! Dinner we had a la carte. Lobster/ tiger prawn soup was really good.

This was my favorite place during my stay in Muscat! After a disappointing experience at the Shangri-La, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hotel. The service was outstanding — every staff member greeted us with a genuine smile and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The location in the Al Mouj area is perfect, with plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. Everything in the hotel was spotless, modern, and well-maintained. It truly felt like a five-star experience, and I would definitely stay here again.

The Mysk Hotel is an amazing place to stay in Muscat. The service is incredible, the location perfect and the delicious breakfast every morning was the a great way to start the day. Our room was comfortable and had a great view of the harbor. I will definitely recommend this hotel for your visit to Muscat!

Stayed one night and that's all we could take I am afraid. The cleanliness of the room with kitchen was very poor. The kitchen smelt of previous guests food. There seemed to dust or stains on most surfaces. The hotel felt very used and not new or fresh. The staff were pleasant enough but the hotel seemed very busy all night long. Food service was quick and great quality. Unfortunately the very poor cleanliness forced us to check-out. No point complaining if everything in the room needs to be cleaned. Better places are available.

I have been staying at the hotel close to 2 months. The location of the hotel is Central Muscat and within 7 minutes drive to the huge shopping malls and supermarkets for grocery shopping. The beach is 10-15 minutes drive from the hotel. The rooms are clean. I particularly want to recognize Mwana and Joynal who clean our rooms. They are pleasant and do a thorough job. We also frequent the breakfast buffet at Savannah Restaurant and enjoy the chicken samosas and the karak tea. The service from Binu, Imam and Deep always makes us look forward to breakfast. They are very pleasant and loving towards my family. Rumani and the guest services team have been welcoming and treated us with respect. Thank you for the flowers on Omani Womens day. The family have enjoyed the swimming pool and the gym which has upto date equipment and a special view of the Muscat sign on the hills. There is a spa which we will soon explore. Thank you for the good welcome to Oman.

I can't say enough good things about our recent stay at this hotel . It was a fantastic getaway, largely thanks to the wonderful staff. In particular, Reem was so thoughtful and accommodating. Her kindness and helpful attitude really stood out and made our stay special. The hotel itself was beautiful and our room was perfect. We left feeling completely refreshed. Highly recommended!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. The room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained throughout my stay. A special mention goes to Bashir, who managed my room with exceptional professionalism. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this hotel to friends and family.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we checked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive. We especially want to mention Reem, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean, the amenities were great, and the overall experience was fantastic. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will be back!

We stayed at 715 room in this hotel: fantastic view of Mosque. 2BHK apartment at 400 AED (~100$) is good price. Hotel has a gym and swimming pool at rooftop. Gym is fanatic feels like private. Swimming pool has a panorama of city, highly recommended to attend. At ground level there is famous nightlife lounge and so many other cafes for foreigners. Even nearby there is supermarket, 5 min away by car. Mall of Oman is 6 min away. At lobby they serve the Qahwa Arabic Traditional Coffee with dates free of charge as sign of hospitality. Everyone speaks English 👍🏻 At the reception people are very helpful. Supported with WiFi promptly, supported us with luggage immediately as soon as we get out of taxi, then they gave us additional access cards with no drama. We are first time in Oman 🇴🇲 and very happy experiencing such smooth operation and useful facilities. Nature of Oman is breathtaking and we are enjoying fresh air by opening our hotel window for ventilation, (instead of AC 😮‍💨) It’s really nice place to accommodate at Muscat👍🏻

We had a truly great experience . The entire visit was lovely, made even better by the outstanding service. We'd like to give a special thank-you to Reem, who was exceptionally kind and helpful, answering all our questions with a smile. The accommodations were comfortable and spotless. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and highly recommend it!

had a truly wonderful stay at the Royal Tulip Muscat Hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm welcome and the professionalism of the staff. Everyone I encountered was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I especially appreciated the quiet, relaxing atmosphere after a busy day. The facilities of the hotel are excellent—whether it’s the rooftop pool with its beautiful view of Muscat, the well-equipped gym, or the stylish lounge areas. The breakfast buffet was another highlight, offering a wide variety of delicious options, both local and international. The location is also very convenient: close to the airport, shopping malls, and main attractions, yet still peaceful enough for a restful stay. Overall, the Royal Tulip Muscat Hotel exceeded my expectations. It combines luxury, comfort, and exceptional service, making it a perfect choice for both business and leisure travelers. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Muscat.

We recently stayed for 2 nights at royal tulip muscat. It has clean and well maintained rooms and is very close from many shopping malls and restaurants. What amazed me was the service and the staff. We constantly saw one person on the ground checking all small detail to ensure guests are taken care of. Realised later that it is GM himself who is spending time with staff on the ground and that clearly reflected a great team. Few instances: 1. My phone and other belongings got locked in the locker of Steam and Sauna area and the issue was sorted almost instantly by one of the staff to whom I explained the situation. 2. Even though the cleaning schedule of my room was in late evening, the housekeeping made sure to clean our room early within 30 minutes of our request. 3. Kids were so well entertained and engaged with colors and papers and super courteous staff. Thank you Royal tulip for the great stay!

We had a very pleasant stay at the Royal Tulip Muscat. The staff were welcoming, polite, and always ready to help. The service was efficient and professional. The hotel is well located — close to the airport and convenient for visiting different parts of Muscat. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet, and the breakfast offers a good variety of options. Overall, an excellent choice for a comfortable and well-organised stay in Muscat.

So clean, spacious, enough mirrors, service was great, workers helped us open our trunk which we were finding difficult. Free parking on site and right in front of the hotel. Friendly service. Breakfast was great (fave was the fresh mint leaves you pick off the stem)

Inside if room was so beautiful, but compare to the price it was very normal hotel. The location is not nice when you come out of hotel there is no nice restaurant or any nice place close to it , you need car to go to first near nice place. The view of room is not good. The breakfast was so normal. The quality of fruits in breakfast was normal they almost tasted nothing.

What we liked most: - very central & convenient location in Muscat - clean and quite rooms - comfortable bed - exceptionally equipped gym (Technogym machines & dumbbells), very spacious and modern - nice rooftop pool with enough sunbeds for guests What we disliked most: - some parts of the breakfast were not as tasty as expected (e.g. fresh fruits) and coffee was not too great - room & bathroom both seemed a little bit outdated but nothing too big All in all great value for the money! We loved our stay here!

“This was one of my best stay experiences in Muscat. I initially planned for 5 nights, but due to work I extended to 20 nights, and each extension was handled smoothly with fair rates. Throughout my stay, the hotel truly felt like home – always clean with excellent service and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were very friendly, and the management was both respectful and highly responsible. If you are looking for a hotel that combines comfort, professionalism, and a warm atmosphere, this is definitely the place to choose.”

the ROOMS! so so so so noisy. when you first enter the rooms seems standard beds comfy and there is space. bathrooms ARE CRAMPED you can easily bump your head from the wash basin if your sitting on the toilet if your not careful. very very crampy and small bathrooms. My check in was Friday, but Friday night if your an early/light sleeper like myself, then you'll definably have a hard time sleeping in this hotel, the road noises from the cars/motorcycles not only reach your room its as if the road in IN YOUR ROOM! there is 0 noise cancellation in the rooms and I had the worst time sleeping, when I called them and asked if. I could change I was told they were fully booked, I understand that their rooms are reasonably cheaper given their good location but the amount of discomfort I felt trying to fall asleep was so bad. I only slept at 2 AM when the sounds of the Rode got better. also they don't have any prayer direction sticker on the floor, and no prayer mats, this should be standard given this is an Islamic country. Breakfast was good, and the room quality beds were okay as well. but its not somewhere I would recommend or would stay again even if I was on a budget.

I booked a suite room for three adults for one night through Booking.com, paying 46 OMR per night. Unfortunately, the room lacked basic amenities such as a dental kit, beverage sachets, and water, all of which had to be requested separately. Additionally, the quality of the shower gels was poor, and there was no pool available. On a positive note, the service was excellent, with room service and reception staff being friendly and supportive. I would rate their service five stars. However, I suggest that the hotel management improve the quality of their amenities. The only advantage was the hotel's proximity to the airport. Overall, the prices are quite high for the amenities provided, and I would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for pool access. I hope the management takes these issues seriously.

One of the Finest Properties in this area. Fabulous Service and Good Positive Vibes once you enter the Hotel. Professional and staff with positive attitude and always smiling and ready to assist you irrespective of the jib profile.

All the staffs are very professional and friendly especially receptionist Mr Vivek and restaurant staffs are extremely good. They all are very cooperative. I have strongly recommend and book room for my son and family during his visit in Oman. Because of the good room excellent service and excellent house keeping and also amazing buffet breakfast Calm and quiet dining. Wonderful stay Am very much happy to your excellent service

I had a wonderful stay at Swiss-Belinn Muscat. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming from the moment I arrived, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the essentials you need for a pleasant stay. Location is convenient, close to the airport and key attractions, yet quiet enough for a relaxing rest. Overall, a great value for money and definitely a place I would stay at again.

Very good hotel and very close to airport. The rooms were big and clean. The view was great. The staff is very polite and helpful. But the was not that great apart from that Loved muscat and enjoyed my stay. Thank you swiss belinn for a great stay.

Very great hotel. Comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast and dinner options. Very good location close to airport and beach. Staff is incredibly helpful special Vivek and Mary,welcoming and friendly. I had some "extra requests" since I was travelling they helped me too

I stayed at Ramada Encore by Wyndham Muscat Al-Ghubra and had a pleasant experience overall. Room: The room was clean, neat, and comfortable. Front Desk: Amazing service — the staff at the front desk were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Parking: Convenient on-site parking available. Location: Great location with restaurants and a mall nearby, making it easy to find food and shopping options. Amenities: The hotel has a decent gym and a swimming pool, both clean and equipped with towels for guests. Cleanliness: The entire property was well-maintained and tidy. Overall, a good choice for a comfortable stay in Muscat with excellent service, good amenities, and a convenient location.

I visited Oman for the COMEX 2025 exhibition on my first business trip and chose to stay at Ramada Encore Muscat Al-Ghubra. It turned out to be a perfect choice! Rooms: Spacious, modern, and very comfortable – ideal for relaxing after long event days. Staff: Extremely polite and professional. A special thanks to the team for allowing me to extend my check-out till 3pm when I was delayed due to traffic after the event – a thoughtful gesture I truly appreciated. Facilities: Well-maintained amenities including a gym, pool, and business-friendly spaces. Dining: Fresh and tasty breakfast with a good variety of options. The hotel’s location is convenient, close to key areas in Muscat, making it a great choice for both business and leisure travelers. My first trip to Oman was made smooth and memorable thanks to their outstanding service.

Review: Ramada Encore Muscat Al Gubrah - Fresh Comfort in a Prime Location The Ramada Encore Muscat Al Gubrah is an excellent new addition to the city's hospitality scene, offering a remarkably fresh and appealing stay experience. As a visibly brand new property, everything—from the stylish lobby to the guest rooms—feels modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, immediately leaving a positive first impression. The location of the hotel is a significant advantage. Situated in Al Ghubrah, it offers convenient access to several key areas of Muscat. It’s particularly well-placed for both business and leisure travelers, being just a short drive from Muscat International Airport (MCT), the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, and major shopping destinations like the Muscat Grand Mall and Avenues Mall. Its position provides easy access to the main highway, making exploration of Muscat's stunning coastline and interior attractions hassle-free. One of the highlights of the stay is definitely the breakfast. The hotel offers a varied and generous spread that provides a genuinely good choice for all tastes. From a selection of fresh fruits, pastries, and yogurts to hot items including both international and local Omani dishes, the quality and variety ensure a satisfying start to the day. The dining area itself is bright and comfortable, enhancing the experience. Overall, the impression is overwhelmingly positive. The staff are attentive and welcoming, the modern amenities function flawlessly, and the clean, contemporary design creates a very comfortable and relaxed environment. For travelers seeking reliable comfort, excellent service, and a convenient base for exploring Muscat, the Ramada Encore Al Gubrah is a superb choice and highly recommended.

I rarely ever leave negative reviews, but unfortunately this stay was truly disappointing. We booked well in advance, traveling with our 1.5-year-old child, to ensure a comfortable stay suitable for a family. Upon arrival, however, we were shocked to find that we had been assigned a smoking room. The staff tried to tell us that we had chosen it, which is completely false and quite disrespectful. There was no option to select smoking or non-smoking rooms at the time of booking, something I ALWAYS check carefully, especially because we are non-smokers and travel with a baby. When we raised the issue, they refused to change our room, saying the hotel was “fully booked.” We arrived together with a large group of about 30 adults without children, and kindly asked to be checked in first, yet they made us wait until the entire group had finished. With minimal attention, they could have easily swapped our room for a non-smoking one. They also offered us a paid upgrade as a “solution,” which made the situation even worse, since the mistake was clearly not ours. It’s unacceptable to assign a smoking room to a family with a small child, especially when this was never specified anywhere during booking. The room was connecting, and the effect of this connection made the situation unbearable, the smell of smoke constantly passed through the door from the adjoining room, which was occupied by single guests staying up late, shouting, and watching TV at full volume. The air was heavy, the smell deeply impregnated in the curtains and mattress, and our clothes reeked within minutes. The night before departure, we agreed with reception on a late check-out, just two extra hours, as a small courtesy considering the situation. The next morning, however, even before the standard check-out time, our keys were already deactivated, preventing us from entering the room. This showed a clear lack of communication among the staff, and made us feel completely disregarded and unwelcome. It was the final drop that turned a frustrating experience into true disappointment. A real shame, because with a bit of care and less superficiality, this stay could have been pleasant.

We stayed at Ramada for our first two nights in Oman and came back for 3 additional nights at the end of our road trip around the country. From a quality/price perspective, the hotel is fantastic. Rooms are large, with real king size beds, and equipped with all you need. All areas of the hotel, especially the pool and the gym are well mantained and clean. Personnel at the reception is nice and welcoming (just like everyone in Oman!). The restaurant is also nice but a little expensive. Additional services (such as the laundry and food delivery) were also on point. Look forward to coming back again in the future.

Stayed 4 nights, receptionist didn't bother to tell about amenities or facilities to avail. I parked infront of building thinking this must be hotel parking as its just infront of the hotel like everywhere else and got fine of 10 RO next day from municipality.as it was paid booking we checked in but on check out they asked for another pending amount which I didn't know, which they should have told on booking time or at least on check in. Food was bad especially steak. Didn't do breakfast though. Rooms are good but may be the need to train the reception and manager for smooth running and better customer service

I had a mixed experience at Ramada Muscat. The room was clean, but a lot of details didn’t live up to what I expected from the hotel’s ratings. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment, plates sometimes had an odd smell, the variety was very limited, and things like cheese would run out and only got refilled if you asked. The seating area also felt cramped, with tables packed too close together. There were no slippers in the room, and toiletries were only provided for one person even though my booking clearly mentioned two. Small things, but they added up and left the overall stay feeling below expectations.

I had a massage with Nara in Wyndham Garden Muscat and it was genuinely fantastic. She is extremely professional, warm. The whole session felt relaxing and therapeutic, and she checked in just the right amount to make sure the pressure was perfect. I walked out feeling lighter and completely refreshed. Highly recommend booking with Nara if you want a great massage and a wonderful experience!

I stayed here for 21 days . The staff and everyone at the hotel were welcoming and helpful. The room had enough space and a view over the mountains. The location is def good to discover Muscat. Overall I had a very comfortable stay . Highly recommend.

I stayed at Wyndham Garden and had a pleasant experience overall. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—definitely a great place to relax. I also tried their breakfast; while the options were limited, everything served was fresh and tasty. A good choice for a short and comfortable stay!

wonderful stay at Wyndham Garden. The staff was warm and welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. Excellent service and great value for money—I would definitely recommend it to others!

I stayed at Wyndham Gardens last week.Mr Abhishek Sehgal and his team , Ms Noora Nader , Marwa and Hamed was so helpful . We had a lovely experience staying there . Awesome breakfast with plenty of options for vegetarian and non vegetarian eaters . Staffs are very prompt and helpful. Flexible with check in check out timings. Would love to stay there again. Strongly recommend Wyndham Gardens Al Khuwair as your next staycation . Priyanka Ghosh Sanjeeb Ghosh

A big thank you to the massage team and especially to Lisa, the masseuse with magic hands! I’ve never felt so relaxed as I did during her massage; her gentle touch is truly soothing ☺️

Never felt that good after a long week of roadtrip! Thanks to the lovely Darin that relaxed my full body. Never miss the massage with her ! Love ❤️

Good Hotel with great transport links. Rooms are a good size and clean. Breakfast buffet has a decent selection. Staff are very polite and helpful and mostly speak very good English. Pool area could be improved. Looks a little neglected.

I had a great stay at Al Murooj Grand Hotel in Muscat. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The staff was friendly and always ready to help, and the breakfast buffet had a nice variety. The location is convenient close to shops and only a short drive to major attractions. Overall, a comfortable stay would definitely return.

Al Murooj Grand Hotel offers a luxurious stay with modern rooms, excellent service, and a prime location. The friendly staff ensures a seamless experience, while the diverse dining options and top-notch fitness and spa facilities enhance the overall stay. It's perfect for both business and leisure travelers. While slightly expensive, the quality and convenience make it a great choice for a comfortable, refined experience.

Did make a booking and got scammed. Either the hotel booking system is accessed, or someone from the hotel itself is doing it. On 3 separate reservations, the scammer got access to guest details so they know when checking in and out, names, contact number.. The hotel is adamant that it's their fault, rather booking.com's fault. Not even an apology

They not respectful, they give us a discount by booking.com and when we arrived they said we should cancel our reservation or pay the difference between the offer and real price and if we cancelled the paid amount will not be refunded

Great experience with clean and nice 👌 room The swimming pool is excellent

The hotel is really nice. It can be a bit confusing to find the main entrance, but that’s a small downside. Another minor downside is the breakfast. It’s not high quality, but you can get full and there’s something for everyone. However, a big plus for the comfortable bed, cleanliness of the room and bathroom, the friendliness of the staff, and the price!

It's unfortunate that there is no option to give a negative rating here; otherwise, I would have given one. This hotel charges a lot, but when it comes to service, there is nothing. I stayed here from February 24 to 26. Some room lights worked, while the rest did not. The worst part was that I went to take a bath early in the morning at 6:30 AM, and there was no hot water. I thought of calling the reception, but the phone was dead. In the end, I had to bathe with cold water. They don’t provide any slippers; you have to bring your own. I even asked about it, saying it's a basic necessity, but they clearly refused, saying they don’t provide them. When I arrived, I requested a seaside room, and they told me all seaside rooms were booked for three days. But the next morning, I saw an empty seaside room on my floor. Overall, my experience was so bad that I have never seen a worse hotel, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Very clean room, the staff is so kind and helpfull, we had a free up-grad for a room with view and the opportunity to late check out. Breakfast was good and rich. Very recommended place to stay in the corniche- money4value

Perfect location, really felt integrated into the city! We went out every night for walks and dinner wich was super convenient :) the reception was super friendly and helpful especially the lady. She was able to answer many of our questions and made us feel comfortable:) the room was great, spacious bathroom and nice view on some mountains, fish market and even the sea:)

The hotel staff was very helpful in solving some booking issues initially. The cafe on ground floor is great! The room is neat and has amazing view

Good cafe in term of location and food provided but service of the waiters are to be improved the one from noon onwards was impolite and arrogant wanted to pay for the service and took me really a while. Others than that all services and cleanness is outstanding. Additionally, the location is just near Corniche Mutrah and the Sooq

We tried some hotel in Mutrah but Naseem hotel is the best: clean and good rooms, fantastic position and a very good coffee in the morning

Had an amazing stay here! Perfect location, walking distance to everything. Amazing views if you get seaside for a very good price. Very clean, modern looking, and the breakfast was nice with lots of fruit (not lot of hot options just FYI). Staff were also friendly

MARINA HOTEL REVIEW This hotel ranks among the most lamentable accommodations I've ever experienced. Initially enticed by its promising location, with price as a secondary consideration, I found myself overlooking the entrance hall's resemblance to a dilapidated Wild West brothel. I convinced myself that it was a deliberate choice in scenography, seeking to infuse a sense of local color. Little did I anticipate that the rooms would exceed the dubious charm of the lobby. Upon swinging open the door, an assault on the senses commenced— a blend of insecticides and the acrid remnants of cigarettes that had embedded themselves in the walls. My quest for a functional electrical socket proved to be an ordeal, with the grimy state of the outlets making me wary of even laying a finger on them. My anticipation of a picturesque sunrise over the harbor was dashed when I encountered a window resembling a mesh-covered shooting hole, practically sealed with layers of pigeon droppings, limiting the influx of fresh air. Through the perforations in this avian mosaic, a faint view of the harbor, royal yachts, the old town, the minaret, and the encircling mountains emerged—an unexpected marvel amidst the disheartening circumstances. However, any semblance of optimism was squashed when I unearthed cockroaches emerging from beneath the peeling wallpaper in what can only be described as a dark cell posing as a restroom. It seemed the insects had grown impervious to the pervasive stench, indifferent to the discomfort plaguing the hotel guests. To compound the ordeal, a raucous party unfolded on one of the upper floors, with the relentless beat of Indian drums echoing into the night. The clamor only relented at dawn, coinciding with the departure of inebriated revelers, who reveled in revving their engines in the brisk morning air. Morning found me departing in frustration, cursing my misfortune. Despite a reservation for an extended stay, I vowed never to set foot in this establishment again.

They have rooms available they say but they won't let me book online. The walk in price is double of what's said online. Simply scamming.

First time being there. Location is nice but sitting,dining area very bad,even food disgusting no hygiene not trustable less amount of food and double price than other places, place is dirty,waiter at all not human being doesn't have manner.Given questions not responding properly,rude and smelly. Nothing to have there,the hotel destroying the view of sea beach unfortunately,The people comes there very low standard all old taxi drivers who does not have ashame to flirt the age of their daughter ladies ,or some narrow minded people. Not recommend place.

Overall an extremely poor experience. AC didn't work, there was extremely loud music until 3am on both nights, cockroach found in bathroom, balcony/window covered in pigeon poo so could even get fresh air, using some power sockets made the lights flicker, there as no toilet paper provided, only 1 towel, wardrobe door was broken, the only bedding was a stained fluffy blanket without a top bed sheet, TV didn't work. On the second night I asked the manager to turn down the music, but they didn't bother. Given the price I wasn't expecting much, but this was generally awful, and would NOT recommend anyone stay here. I tried very hard to find good things; the bottom sheet clean, soap and shampoo provided, complimentary bottle of water each, and morning papers downstairs. We stayed at this hotel in a twin room in November 2022.

The hotel looked nice, but I was there for the restaurant and a drink. The beer was surprisingly reasonable in price for Muscat. I was there at lunchtime on a Wednesday, and it was very quiet. The others there--a local expat and an American couple, passengers from the Cunard ship in that day were very friendly. The view of the port area is amazing. Be aware that right at noon the sun beats down on the terrace, but it shifts behind the building very soon after.

This is a review for the hotel, not the restaurant. The restaurant does have a great view. Be advised that if you stay in the hotel, there is a restaurant at the top and a pub on floor one. It was amazingly noisy with the music and the movement of chairs. The noise did not stop until 2am. You will need ear plugs. Also be advised that presently the old fish market is being demolished, and that the mosque across the bay can be heard in space. Also be advised that the room rate is likely negotiable. ☺

We had a great experience here. Location is wonderful, very nice breakfast as well. We arrived very early on the first day (around 6 in the morning), and without having to book an extra night they allowed us to check in already - super kind!

Gorgeous lodgings in Mutrah. Stunning room with authentic furnishings and beautifully located within walking distance of the souq and corniche. Breakfast is gorgeous and served on the roof terrace. Plentiful parking too nearby.

Very nice location, close to the waterfront, the Fort and the Souq. The Building and rooms are beautifully designed and a very nice place to spend time. We also enjoyed the roof terrace with the café which was delicious. Also don’t miss out on the breakfast in the morning. All of the staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and easy going. Can only recommend!

Wonderfully charming hotel. Clean and safe. We enjoyed are stay here. The breakfast is homemade and made with love. Tucked away, it is a quiet and safespot in the city and easy to get a taxi from to explore Muscat

phenomenal location and service. clean and quite pretty rooms. our host upgraded our room to one of the private suites with a private bathroom for free as we went in off season which was lovely. aircon worked great and was needed for the summer! we were offered fresh towels, cleaning, and importantly cold bottled water at every opportunity which was lovely. the room and building featured code doors which was lovely not having to remember a key. the location was walking distance to a lot of great attractions, as well as a bus station and plenty of taxis for getting around otherwise. tons of good food and sights in the area, but far enough from the main road that it was quite tranquil at night. would highly recommend! we also got breakfast one of the mornings (at a fair additional price) which was super nice in the upstairs cafe featuring balcony rooms.

Amazing guesthouse. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Loved the interior of the rooms. Great location with free parking close by. The cafe upstairs served the best saffron cake! I would definitely go back!

Perfectly nice rooms and a great location very close to the fort and the souk. The bathroom was private but not connected to the room so just be aware that you have to move through a public area to get to the bathroom and the room. The host was wonderful, kind and helpful. He continually asked if I needed more cold water before going out which was very considerate. There is also free parking if you rented a car.
