Excellent Service, Hotel Isolated
"Five star service. Excellent hotel, I stayed for 3 nights would definitely stay again. Only downside is there is nothing around the hotel and it's a 15-20 min taxi ride to town at $15 each way so not easy to pop out and the hotel food is expensive."

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
