Masqat Hotels with Nouto- ja jättöpalvelut

"Ive choosen this place cause its central, easy to access and 24h check in. The room been spacious, clean, comfortable beds, complimentary coffee and dates in lounge. They been helpful to organise a taxi for local prices to the airport. Very polite and friendly staff. The breakfast been compared to other hotels in Muscat a bit pale. But I would still recommend it."

"The location is far from the city, but the hotel is very nice, especially the food."

"It was unfortunate we couldn’t get to check in earlier because we arrived earlier so we stayed at the lobby for 9-10 hours despite many emails sent to give them a heads up. Overall our stay was decent. Breakfast was good and service was good too."

"It was a pleasant experience. The front office reception staff was very courteous and good. Hamid and Helda were very supportive and helpful. The facilities were awesome. The breakfast was good. Just experiment with new dishes every day as we had the same breakfast menu for all 3 days. But no complaints. it's just the suggestion. So calling the room service was not easy as the phones were always busy."

"One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. The place feels so warm and homely that you instantly feel at ease. I met so many incredible people here who love to travel and are open to new experiences. The hostel team truly puts their heart and soul into everything. They help with tours, give great local tips, and organize activities at very good prices. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, breakfast is delicious, and the chef is wonderful. It feels very safe and friendly. You don’t even feel the need to lock anything. Perfect place for solo travelers who want to meet new people. The location is great too. You can take the A1 bus from the airport to Azaiba. There are several affordable restaurants nearby. Talk to the front desk and they’ll help you find others to explore Oman with or share rides for trips. I had the best time here. Highly recommend it."

"This hotel is strategically located close to the Avenues Mall. Attached to this mall (and closest entrance to the hotel) is Lulu Hypermarket -an amazing supermarket with local and international brands, and a fantastic bakery. This mall is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. However, you do have walk along the road as the sidewalk / footpath does not exist. But this is only for 300 metres. In fact you can get off the street, but it is gravel/ construction site, so you shoes will be messy. Uber and Grab do not exist in Oman. However, the hotel has two or three taxi drivers that will you take you anywhere. They use set rates, rather than a meter. For example Hotel to Airport run is 8 is Omani Rial (US $20). While this hotel is great for shopping, it is not the best for major attractions of Muscat. The main historical sites of Alam Palace, Ai Mirania Fort and National Museum is 21 kms from the hotel. About 10 Omani Rial is each way by taxi. However, there are very few hotels in this area, so most people stay in hotels near Malls in Oman. This is some form of Public Transport in Muscat, but it can be hard for tourists to use without changing to another bus or long walks. For example, the Royal Opera House is 10 kms from hotel. By using public transport this would require a 2.5 kms walk. The hotel rooms are quite spacious and feature comfortable lounge style chairs. The hotel is located near an expressway /motorway, but good soundproofing means this is not an issue. I was of level 3 and could just see the ocean in the distance (right) and the mall (to left). They do have ocean view room (more expensive higher up the building). The TV is very disappointing - small & old with fuzzy channels. Fortunately, the internet is great, so viewing most programs on the computer. The rooftop has great swimming pool and bar, but maybe a little too cold to swim with highs of about 22-23 C in winter. Staff at receptionist are very obliging. I can definitely recommend this hotel for shopping and good base to experience Muscat. However, as mentioned, it is long way from the major tourists attraction of the city and taxi is required."
