Overall, it was a great place; however, the hotel is located in an area with very limited access to city life. It’s far from the city, and nearby amenities and activities are quite limited.

Verified traveler

People friendly, usually not talkative. Emigrants, even friendlier. Taxi drivers charge more than usual for tourists/visitors. Many, many varieties for food places, different cousines. Barging/haggling is a common thing for small shops. Pretty safe.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I had not been to Muscat for 17 years and was thrilled to see that it has maintained it’s peaceful, calm, stress-free air about it. The quality of life seems so very high and it’s somewhere that I could easily live if given the chance.

5/5 - Excellent
