Muscat Hotels with Balcony

The location is relatively remote and the hotel facilities are relatively old. The sheets and towels are not so clean. There are no facilities around. There are few places to eat. However, there is a exchange service at the front desk and the staff is generally friendly. The bath water has to be turned on a specific switch to have hot water. In addition, there is a construction site next to it, which is noisy during the day. The hotel does not have shower gel or anything, only a shampoo and soap. In addition, it is very expensive to buy breakfast at the store. The two-person suite is actually two double rooms that can accommodate four people. There is a kitchen, washing machine and everything. If you want to come to Oman, it is recommended to set a hotel near the mutrah market, which is much more convenient.

My recent stay at the Mandarin Oriental Muscat was overall enjoyable, with several notable highlights. The hotel’s location near the beachfront is fantastic, offering stunning views of Muscat and the surrounding mountains. The interiors are beautifully designed, featuring natural materials that create a luxurious and calming atmosphere. The rooms were ultra-comfortable, with excellent beds and top-quality linens that made for a great night’s sleep. I also appreciated the thoughtful in-room amenities, including good tea, a Nespresso machine, and water in glass bottles—a healthy and eco-friendly touch. The shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner provided were of great quality, and the dental kits were decent. However, I did notice that some toothpaste tubes weren’t fresh, as the paste had become solid and dry in a few sets. Additionally, the shaving kit was of the cheapest level, which didn’t align with the otherwise high standards of the hotel. Breakfast was good but not quite up to the level typically expected from Mandarin Oriental. There’s definitely room for improvement here, but I believe this is something the hotel will refine over time. The staff were polite and professional, which added to the overall positive experience. Considering the hotel is still new, I’d rate the overall experience, including the price/value ratio, as 3.5 out of 5. I’m confident that with time, the hotel will address these minor gaps and elevate the experience to match the impeccable standards the brand is known for.

The hotel is in a good location, the facilities are old, the rooms are small, there are many restaurants around, there are various choices, there is a sense of life, there is a big supermarket next to it, and there is a mosque. It happened that there were cricket youth teams from different countries staying there for a few days, including Japan, Malaysia, etc., there should be related competitions.

Decent hotel, rooms were big for nothing really cheap and plain decor fake marble tiles room interior was not matching the hotel price or downstairs lobby, for the price of hotel all amenities and mini bar was chargeable also price of breakfast was not worth the money, the dressing table was a joke unusable plugs socket on dressing table, huge construction site outside the hotel only attraction was the 5 star restaurants on site keep your wallets loaded 😉

The hotel is in a very good location, right in the embassy district. Although it is a little older, the overall stay experience is very good👍

The hotel is clean and the rooms are spacious. It is equipped with an induction cooker, pots and pans, and a washing machine. It is very suitable for travelers who stay for a long time and cook for themselves. There is a supermarket downstairs and many fast food restaurants.

Staying at the Shangri La Al Husn Muscat has been one of the highlights of our time in the Middle East. We decided to go for my girlfriends birthday and the team worked exceptionally well with me to deliver a unforgettable experience. Getting to the Shangri La was a bit of a challenge and taxis do not come cheap in Oman. Though it was not challenging I do wish there was a pickup/drop off option for the guests. The inclusive breakfast was wonderful and ordering off the menu assured that everything you ordered stayed fresh. There was a mixup with our order due to a language barrier but the food was still phenomenal. The in room breakfast and room service was a highlight as it allowed you to take full advantage of the room and with the inbuilt heaters in the dining table assured the food stayed hot. The value for money on in room dining was disappointing as an order of a burger and fries came with a small amount of fries, however that was fixed with our next order. The afternoon tea was delicious, highlights being the fromage and watermelon and the scones. Each afternoon tea was different and kept the palate excited. The happy hour beverages were also included and always came with a suprise canapé from the restaurant. In terms of the staycation, it was perfect. The interior and exterior of the hotel is beautiful and the sound of the ocean left you relaxed for the stay. I would like to raise that there was a lot of sealife by the beach which deterred us from swimming in the sea as we had heard a lot about the Omani coast and didn’t have much confidence in the beach patrol and lifeguards there. We noticed some playing on their phones but they were always happy to assist taking a picture for the two of us. I would suggest a more upfront approach when it comes to what you can expect in the sea there. A visitors lounge was also available allowing you to take full opportunity of the facilities till you left for your next adventure.

It has the most powerful kitchen, but it is too inconvenient to cook. If you stay in an all suites hotel like this, you will definitely need to cook and do laundry. As the latest batch of oman hotels in 2023, this hotel has excellent kitchen hardware. The area is large, the facilities are new, and the brand is solid, even better than most home kitchens. But the shortcomings are also very helpless. There are no knives, the pot is very small, there is no kitchen kit that can be borrowed, and there is not even basic salt and pepper. If you want to cook, you have to buy your own hardware. Compared with the same brand hotel in Dubai next door, there is a lot of room for improvement. In addition, the hotel restaurant has not been repaired for 5 months. Therefore, the breakfast is very average (compared to other hotels in the same price range in Oman). Therefore, the hotel's breakfast has also been reduced to 5 OMR. In terms of distance, the hotel is located in Qurum, and it takes about 20 minutes to drive from the airport. It's a relatively far hotel. But the surrounding life is convenient and close to the scenic spots.

Amazing time spent at the Ritz. Feeling like royalty as you step in as it was previously the Sultan’s palace. After a day of adventuring you feel as you’ve entered a haven of peace. The staff was helpful, elegant, and really trying to satisfy every need. They also have one of the best Chinese gastronomic restaurants I have tasted. My favorite amenities were available as they are supplied by Diptyque. Last but not least the location takes your breath away, from the poolside and beachside.
