Central location, multiple good restaurants within walking distance. Front desk helpful e.g. arranging car service for a stop at the Grand Mosque enroute to the airport. However delays due to understaffing - manager is always busy.

Decent Hotel near the Masjid Al Zawawi
The best part about this hotel was its location to the Al Zawawi Mosque and the Muscat Bakery. Otherwise it was nothing special. A taxi from the airport should cost around 8-9 OMR. The hallways were always smoke filled, and even though there were two of us staying in the room, they would only provide one free water. The room was clean, and the hotel was near the major road which takes you to all places in Muscat. There are hundreds of Baisa buses that pass by and the "once every 15-30 minutes" number 1 city bus that stops near the pedestrian overpass beside the mosque. There are also many, many food places around the hotel, some cheap, some expensive.

Conveniently located hotel in Al Khuwair, Muscat
This is a small hotel conveniently located near to the Sultan Qaboos highway in Alkhwair, Muscat, near to the Ministry offices. There are a lot of restaurants and shops in and around the hotel. Overall a pleasant stay. Good budget hotel.

Overnight pre-flight stay
A good choice if flying out of Muscat this is a business-type hotel, not one for a tourist stay in Muscat. However, plenty of eating choices nearby and a decent curry is to be had in the hotel restaurant. Large, very clean room but no bedside light and have to walk across the room to turn out the ceiling light: unusual in a decent hotel.

Really nice hotel
Hotel was great for the price. Staff all friendly, room decent size and clean. Bathroom also quite large with good shower. Location was good but we found it a little difficult to find. Would definitely recommend it for a well priced simple hotel. There is a restaurant but we didn't eat there.

Not the best.
I was very disappointed in my stay. After one night, I found another hotel. The staff was not friendly and there is not much in the area. No pool, but the Internet was hit or miss in the room. Awoke every morning at 4:30 am by the mosque across the street. Loud and Very disrupting. Personally, I wouldn't to stay here again. The staff is not helpful. They don't seem to care about guests.

simple but satisfactory
The hotel is clean, close to all other similar hotels, but is distant from the major tourist sights. I used it for simple accommodation and was well satisfied. I would stay there again if I could not find an alternative hotel closer to the older part of Muscat.
