4-Star Hotels in Dhofar, Oman

Hotel is in a good location about 5/7 minutes from the airport. It’s a resort, on the 1st floor of Gardens Mall Salalah. We had issues when we arrived, the gave us a standard room while we booked king room (the staff told us, that is referring to the bed size) this should not be the title of the listing (King Room etc). We got in touch with trio who were extremely helpful, the entire team, promptly. Had this been a European company, god help us, honestly (we all know when it comes to the crunch, not majority live up to their sales pitch). We took it upon ourselves also and had a word with the manager regarding this issue, who was happy to upgrade us to a very good room. We did spend a night in the standard room but it was still a very decent room. As mentioned before we done out locally so not sure about the food, conveniently located, take the lift straight down to the mall, this has a hyper market (carrefour) and Lulu is a walk down from the Mall (walking is not an option, you can it’s a bit of a walk with no pedestrian access). Staff friendly except one lady at the desk when asked for two glass sent the smallest cups via room service (glass are for restaurant only, we were told) but another kind lady at the desk in the morning (when requested sent these over). Would we stay there again? Yes, we would but make sure you check which room you are booking. Hats off to trip.com for being there with us all the way. The beach is a taxi ride away, the picture here is from Al Haffah beach and the frankincense being sorted by workers from Bangladesh. Remember to buy your Lubaan from salalah for cheaper and better quality. Thank you to Amjad and the manager for the upgrade. Ma Salaama

Great stay. Spacious and clean room. Excellent service.

Stayed: 3 days during a first visit to discover beautiful Salalah. Overall impression: The hotel was overall less than expected compared to the pictures, which look nicer than the reality. Room: Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Service: Service was correct and professional, without being particularly notable. Breakfast: Breakfast was basic for a 4-star hotel. Instant coffee was served in the morning. When ordering coffee separately, Arabic coffee was served, which was not to my taste and was charged extra. Location: Hotel is centrally located, but taxis are still needed to move around. Overall: An acceptable stay for a first visit to Salalah, but expectations should be set accordingly.

Very good hotel with specious suite and excellent breakfast. Luxurious place. Two swimming pool and kids club. Good parking in basement with water tab available in parking. Parking need more lights Location in industrial area.

It was nice an clean stay. Some neighboring construction going that affected relaxation. Staff are excellent. Responded well to our comments.

Great hotel in a new tourist area, but very clean and perfect for relaxation (except the guests of the very large neighborhoods that stole early in the morning all the rests on the beach which must be absolutely improved, But we went soon:) pleasant breakfast without too many people with the kind Nerage and the excellent chef Moataz who prepared eggs in any way always excellent! We had a nice view of the sea, but some nights the music was feeling a little high, the cloaks are not very good and even the door of the room let the noise of the general conditioning plant enter, But he was not more than so irritating to us, a special mention of the always careful and smile Rasha and Murad for gentleness and excellent cleaning.

The location is perfect. Center. Convenient logistics, whether to the airport, to the mountains, or to other popular places. If you need public transport, there are stops on the 20th and 21st nearby, if you need a car, there are plenty of rental shops nearby, the central market is 100 meters away, the Sultan Qaboos Mosque is 300 meters away, the beach is 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. I arrived around 11 am, instead of 1:30 pm, and they checked in without any problems. At first they gave me a room without a safe, I asked for one with a safe, they gave me another room, the engineer patiently taught me how to use it. The room is really big, I was tired of walking from the bed to the bathroom. Everything works - refrigerator, air conditioning, hairdryer, there is a power outlet of our type, which is important, and next to the bed, and not in the bathroom, as is usually the case in Arab countries. The bed was comfortable, there was always hot water, the bathroom had a rain shower head and a fan, it made things dry much faster. Keep in mind that in order for the maid to clean the room, you need to leave a reminder on the door handle. Bottled water was provided upon request. The breakfasts are delicious, every day there is a new hot dish: liver, pasta, Indian-style lentils, in addition to what has always been sausages, country-style potatoes, etc... Ask the chef to cook fresh scrambled eggs - it's a little show. There were always watermelons, melons, apples, bananas, as well as vegetables - tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, carrot sticks - incredibly tasty. The pool on the roof is small, but I always swam in it alone, so it was enough for me. The main thing that few people can compare with this hotel is the view from the window! The view from the window is just like a million dollars. Panoramic glazing across the entire wall is a huge advantage, the photo confirms this. It seems that you are floating in the air and cars are passing right under you, it’s a blast! Overall, I was more than satisfied with my five-day stay and grateful to all the hotel staff. Yes, I would like to recommend to all travelers the good exchanger Mustafa Sultan, on the corner of 23rd July Street, opposite the Sultan Qaboos Mosque (attaching a photo). They have a good exchange rate and no fees. In other exchangers, they will either charge you a commission, for example, at the airport the commission is 2 rials, or they will write the exchange rate on the board, for example, 0.38 per dollar, and end up exchanging it for 0.33, as they did for me in the LULU Exchange exchanger. So I know what I recommend)
