I had a daily water limit of 2 small bottles for 3 people and they wouldnt provide more. Third person slept in the ground because they didn’t want to give us what we booked. Room clean up was done only 1 in 4 days.

Otherwise it was nothing special. A taxi from the airport should cost around 8-9 OMR. The hallways were always smoke filled, and even though there were two of us staying in the room, they would only provide one free water. The room was clean, and the hotel was near the major road which takes you to all places in Muscat. There are hundreds of Baisa buses that pass by and the "once every 15-30 minutes" number 1 city bus that stops near the pedestrian overpass beside the mosque. There are also many, many food places around the hotel, some cheap, some expensive. ##### Zakri Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 4 Nov 2017 #### Für Max 1-2 Nächte Ok Obwohl wir ein Nichtraucherzimmer gebucht hatten, hat es tagsüber im Bad ununterbrochen nach Rauch gerochen. Am späten Abend und teilweise nachts, wurden auf dem Flur die Türen laut zuschlagen lassen, so dass man jedes Mal kerzengerade in Bett saß. Praktisch ist der große Supermarkt um die Ecke ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rajesh 19 Apr 2017 It was good and comfortable for the stay ##### Rajesh ### 8/10 Good #### Fadhlan , Kuala Lumpur 31 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nice hotel with reasonable price Easy access by walk to restaurants, grocery shops, shopping center, mosque and ATM. WIFI at room are not good enough, need to work on that. Overall, it is a very good hotel. ##### Fadhlan ### 8/10 Good #### Dhiresh, Kolkata 13 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Conveniently located hotel in Al Khuwair, Muscat This is a small hotel conveniently located near to the Sultan Qaboos highway in Alkhwair, Muscat, near to the Ministry offices. There are a lot of restaurants and shops in and around the hotel. Overall a pleasant stay. Good budget hotel. ##### Dhiresh ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 9 Aug 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very basic.

For an one night trip is quite cost effective. ##### CHIH-LEE ### 8/10 Good #### Tom&Chris, Fulda 7 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central location for Mascat attractions A quiet, friendly hotel, nice coffee shops in same building, pleasant and interesting neighbourhood, plenty of parking on street nearby. Wonderful Al-Zawawi Mosque just opposite. ##### Tom&Chris ### 4/10 Poor #### Driss, Paris 3 Apr 2015 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Trop cher pour ce que c'est. Hôtel proche des commerces et des restaurants. Quartier animé et facile d'accès, à mi chemin entre l'aéroport et Matrah. Ils ont voulu me faire payer le lit d'appoint alors que j'avais précisé que je voyageait avec un enfant en bas Age. pour un très court séjour ok sinon allez voir ailleurs. En tout cas ne mérite sûrement pas le prix demandé. ##### Driss ### 8/10 Good #### Carol, Chicago 10 Jan 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### good for the price Clean, nice. Showers were good. Location is just ok ##### Carol ### 6/10 Okay #### Jorg, Schwalmtal 31 Dec 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Angemessenes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis Wir waren im Hotel für eine Nacht "auf der Durchreise" auf unser Oman-Rundreise. Für diesen Zweck war das Zimmer mehr als ausreichend, wir hatten es uns ja auch wegen dem günstigen Preis (für Maskat-Verhältnisse) ausgesucht. Verkehrsgünstig gelegen, nettes Personal, sauberes Zimmer, wenn auch recht klein. Mehr braucht man nicht für eine eine Nacht, für eine Woche wäre das gebuchte Zimmer vielleicht etwas klein. Aber es gibt wohl auch größere Zimmer, alles eine Frage des Preises. ##### Jorg ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 31 Dec 2014 Disliked: Room comfort #### Une option pas chère avec confort minimum Je suppose que pour Muscate, c'est un hôtel abordable, avec le minimum pour dormir. N'en n attendez pas trop, vous ne serez pas déçu. Très belle mosqué juste a coté. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Manuel, Killwangen (Switzerland) 2 Dec 2014 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gute Erreichbarkeit des Hotels Samara Hotel ist ein einfaches, aber gut geführtes Mittelklassehotel mit allen Komforteinrichtungen, die es braucht. Grosses Pluspunkt: Das Hotel liegt verkehrstechnisch günstig im Quartier al-Kuwair zwischen dem Flughafen und der Altstadt von Muscat. In der Nähe ist eine Moschee mit gepflegter Grünanlage zum Verweilen (als Orientierungspunkt wichtig). Ausserdem viele Geschäfte (Bäckerei, Supermarkt) in der Nähe. Zu bemängeln: Es ist jeweils zu prüfen, ob in wirklich allen Nasszellen des Hotels (Badezimmer-WC) auf höchste Reinlichkeit geachtet wird. (In trockenen Ländern stellt sich die hygienische Frage anders als bei uns).Ansonsten: Gepflegte Zimmer, gute Matratzenqualität der Betten. ##### Manuel ### 6/10 Okay #### Doug, Gloucestershire, UK 4 May 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Overnight pre-flight stay A good choice if flying out of Muscat this is a business-type hotel, not one for a tourist stay in Muscat. However, plenty of eating choices nearby and a decent curry is to be had in the hotel restaurant. Large, very clean room but no bedside light and have to walk across the room to turn out the ceiling light: unusual in a decent hotel. ##### Doug ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Chedi Muscat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muscat-Hotels-The-Chedi-Muscat.h916380.Hotel-Information) > > [The Anchor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montrose-Hotels-The-Anchor-Hotel.h23257816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Indoor Pools in Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pools.0-0-d179992-tHotelswithIndoorPools.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ramada Encore by Wyndham Muscat Al-Ghubra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muscat-Hotels-Ramada-Encore-By-Wyndham-Muscat-Al-Ghubrah.h42492756.Hotel-Information) > > [Catalonia Royal Tulum Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Xpu-Ha-Hotels-Catalonia-Royal-Tulum-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h892175.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Radcliffe Tram Stop](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Radcliffe-Tram-Stop-Hotels.d6175498.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Swandor Cam Ranh Resort-Ultra All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nha-Trang-Hotels-Swandor-Cam-Ranh.h18724652.Hotel-Information) > > [Eurostars Laietana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Eurostars-Via-Laietana.h560399.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Broxburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broxburn-Caravan-Parks.d6003820-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [4 Star Hotels in Histon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Histon-Hotels.s40-0-d3000742527.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels near Isla Holbox](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isla-Holbox-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6046459-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [YMCA Camp Cullen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trinity-Hotels-YMCA-Camp-Cullen.h55559481.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Müritz National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muritz-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6107408-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Dubai Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Marina-Dubai-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-n6147415-0-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [travelodgeuk Hotels in Goole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Goole-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d6124778--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Oberding (MUC) to Exeter (EXT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/muc/ext/munich-to-exeter) ### Cars > [Hertz Car Rentals In Grimsby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Grimsby.d7517-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities ### Packages > [Acropolis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Acropolis-Athens-City-Centre.d6051641.Attraction) > > [Winchester Mystery House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Mystery-House-West-San-Jose.d6069499.Attraction) > > [Athens Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens.d178231.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Paignton Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paignton.d4408.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Bulgaria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/beach-holidays/26/Bulgaria) ### General > [Visit Djursland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djursland.dx553248635157649392) > > [Visit Whistler Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whistler-Whistler-Village.dx6058449) ---
