Reviews and Ratings
Despite a few drawbacks like smoking smells in non-smoking rooms and the absence of coffee making equipment, the hotel offers affordable rates considering the cost of living in Oman. The location is incredibly convenient, allowing easy access to the city and close proximity to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room I initially got had a lingering smoking smell despite being a non-smoking room. However, it was clean, albeit small and outdated. The service was a bit lacking in arranging transportation, but the staff, especially the guy who checked me in, was very friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for reaching different parts of the city and close to key attractions but felt slightly dull due to the underdeveloped surroundings. The dining experience had good food overall, but the 'pork' section was unappetizing.
The hotel offers a good 3-star standard experience with very clean rooms, complimentary wine, fruit basket, toweling robe, and bathroom extras for your convenience. The rooms, although small, are comfortable and clean. The staff is generally helpful, attentive, welcoming, and pleasant to talk to. The location is convenient if you need quick access to the airport, but heavy truck surroundings may not be ideal without a car. The dining experience is mixed, with good options but watch out for the limited 'pork' section. Overall, the hotel provides value for money for a short stay.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms were pretty clean overall, but they looked nothing like the pictures. While the cost of £140 per night seemed expensive considering the poor location, the bedroom was a decent size, and the sleep quality was excellent.
The hotel offers a good 3-star standard stay with clean rooms and nice extras like complimentary wine, fruit basket, and toweling robe for added comfort. However, the lack of kettle or coffee making equipment could be inconvenient, and the overall decor appears outdated.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was a bit challenging to navigate but suitable for business travelers in the Ghala area. The service from the staff was excellent, except for one individual who was arrogant. The dining options were not very impressive, and the hotel facilities were average.
The hotel provided a good 3-star standard experience at a slightly high cost of £140 per night. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with nice extras like complimentary wine, fruit basket, and toiletries. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the staff member who checked me in at 5 am. The location is not ideal being in an industrial area, suitable mainly for business trips. The dining options were decent overall, although the 'pork' section needs improvement. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service, but the location might not suit everyone.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were pretty clean in general, but I did find some stains on the glass cups. The futuristic vibe was enjoyable, and having 2 beds was convenient. However, the location in the middle of the industrial Ghala area surrounded by trucks and machinery was quite off-putting.
The hotel's location is not ideal, being in an industrial area with little around, but it's near the grand mosque. The rooms are decent in size, offering excellent sleep quality, though the view is lacking. The service is professional and nice, with inexpensive room service meals. The dining experience didn't impress me enough to return, but the hotel provides variety. Facilities are decent but not outstanding.
The hotel rooms are clean and spacious with a decent size and excellent sleep quality, but the location is not ideal and comes at a high cost. The service is nice and professional, and the dining offers a good range of food. The view from the room leaves much to be desired, despite being close to the Grand Mosque.
