Radisson Collection Muscat, Hormuz Grand
"Very clean and spacious bedroom with extremely great shower. The gym was well equipped and spacious The pool area is lovely, but unfortunately the pool water was rather dirty. Much dirtier than I would want from a 5* hotel. The breakfast food was good but would benefit from some nicer coffee."
