I had booked the 3 bedroom suite as I was travelling with my elderly 82 year old mother who just arrived this morning on an international flight without sleep all night. The intention was to have a spacious, comfortable and save environment upon her arrival in Muscst / Oman. Initially the location was ok / a bit grotty though . . . Suddenly around midnight we were rudely woken up by wextremely loud discotheque right below the bedroom window ! Starts at 11.30 pm and blasts until 3 am ! This was supposed to be a quiet residential neighbourhood as it was advertised ! Also : - toilet seat fell off / unsecured - powerpoint for bedroom table light broken in half and electrical exposed that is very dangerous - cockroaches in fridge extremely noisy air condition equipment right outside bedroo windows After insisting we got quiet room to the back : - half size - no, or only tiny window - no daylight - a coffin within a thomb . . . Breakfast buffet in a stinky windowless room : ( smell of overlooked food in the morning really puts one right off ! ) - cold aged toast out of a timber box / chiccken food ? cold scrambled eggs ? - cold beans / meshed - yak ! - cold mushrooms - cold and burnt tomatoes - some budget juice out of a cardboard container/ more water than tastet ! I demanded a refund for the inconvenience and the half sized room on the second night but this was declined. I was only offered an other stay at a reduced 25 % complaint pending -

Moderately Pleased
If your travel plans have you spending most of your time out of the hotel, then this is a very affordable place to stay. We enjoyed the large space of the single suite. However, there was only 1 set of windows looking out to a rock wall and old construction materials. The bathroom was very small with so little water pressure that we could hardly rinse off the shampoo. The staff was very pleasant and helpful; it is not their fault that the hotel fixtures are old and functioning poorly. We enjoyed the interesting architecture of the lobby and thought it must have been beautiful when it was first built.

Unfortunately, I confused this hotel with the Qurum Beach Resort. The Qurum Beach Hotel is VERY disappointing and I would not recommend it to anyone, apart from very low budget backpacker travelers. The hotel is old and have very poor, almost non-existent air-conditioning throughout the hotel. But the wall aircon unit in my room was so noisy it could not be used. I tried the overhead fan for sleep then woke with a bad headache. The bed was advertised as a 'twin' but it was definitely a single. The bathroom was very old and dated with chocolate brown fixtures, although a white toilet seat seems to be added. There was rough cement work along the edge of the shower recess. The breakfast was minimal, an egg omelette and bread and tea/coffee. There was no water provided in the rooms. When I first saw the room, I wanted to go straight to the airport and fly home. Our group of 3 stayed for one night instead of three. We checked out the next morning without any problems. Generally the hotel staff were polite although a little slow with booking us in and finalising our account. We booked into the Qurum Ramada which was twice the price but worth every extra dollar. Hope this is helpful.

Great staff
Very friendly and helpful staff. Everyone there that I encountered spoke English. The hotel was near Qurum Beach, but not close to much else. A 10 minute walk would get you a stop for the hop-on/hop-off "Big Bus." I was there in January. Maybe that was off season, but the Big Bus did not run on a frequent schedule every day. Otherwise, unless you had a car, taxis were the only practical option. Taxis were not cheap.

The price = the value
The price for a single room was about 45$/night = exactly the expected value. It's a suitable place if you like only a bed to sleep not much. The location is perfect, two minutes walking to the beach where located nice coffee shops and a place to relax. I would choose it again if i came back muscat again and if the price remain the same. :)

You can find better hotels with this price
Location was good, near beach (walking distance) with nice sunset but the hotel was old, not very clean. I think I was the only guest in the hotel in that period. Breakfast was the same everyday. So, if you plan to stay for several days (like me) be ready for scrambled egg everyday. Later on, I found out I could get better deals for the same price in Muscat

A place to avoid!!
I made the reservation to this hotel in a rush, not having enough time to check it properly, as i wanted only a place for the night. And indeed this is a place were exclusively you can just sleep. The room is like a box. The only thing i liked is the bed, was enough comfortable. But its kinda creepy in overall the hotel. The furniture and amenities are old. The bathroom you can't say is extremely clean, and shower uncomfortable as there's nothing to hamper the water from spilling all over the room while showering. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. The way the rooms are situated is very hectic and weird and even if door closed still you have the imrpession you're in the hall. Even if 2 stars i think the comfort and cleanliness should be a must to win your guests.

I recommend this charming hotel
I stayed at the hotel for a week and loved it. The hotel is very charming and you feel at home. The staff went out there way to help me when I wanted to book tours or had other requests. It is 200 meters from an amazing beach with a lot of cafes and not far from a charming park.

Tired, old hotel. Needs investment and renovation.
Poorly designed, sub-divided rooms. Sub-standard bathroom facilities. No tea and coffee facilities in room. Towels had seen better days. Breakfast was basic (bread, toast, butter, jam, tea, coffee and powdered orange juice), but adequate. OMR 30 ($100) per night would get you something indescribably better in some cities. But at this price range, there's not a huge choice in Muscat. Location in a quiet area just off the achingly beautiful Qurum beach is superb. I booked this hotel, mistaking it for another. Will not stay again.

A good budget option
The hotel has a nice location not far from a public beach (though note that the public beach has no facilities whatsoever). Our room, though oddly shaped, was a reasonable size. The staff at the front desk and were friendly and quite helpful. A few factors underlined that this is very much a two-star hotel experience. The breakfast was perhaps the worst hotel breakfast I've eaten, consisting of cheap white sliced bread and scrambled eggs that tasted like cardboard. There was only one towel in our room, and it was a hand towel, even though we booked a double room. The bed sagged and the sheets were scratchy. (That said, I slept well during my stay, possibly because the neighbourhood was nice and quiet.) This hotel is a good option for budget travellers who don't mind these kind of inconveniences. The Crowne Plaza is only a kilometre away if you get tired of it.

Old building, old furniture, nothing in bathrooms...old towels (and u have to ask for them). a place called restaurant but nothing there and in the breakfast u get boiled eggs, toast and coffee with canned orange juice...very ill managed otherwise in such a good location on the beach, this hotel can be turned into gold. In this condition one will never come back after a night stay.

The basics
Decent location - near the beach and Crowne Plaza hotel (for a nice bar, view, and drinks). Hotel staff was friendly and let me check in very late at night. Room was spacious enough though on the smaller side. AC was very strong in the room. Wifi was great, just very frustrating that you have to get a new password daily. Breakfast was extremely lackluster so plan on eating elsewhere. Overall nothing to write home about. You get what you pay for.

Lovely little hotel. Yes, the hotel is a bit old and kitchy but it has great charm and very attentive, helpful staff. We had a double twin room and it was very big. Nice sitting area with a small fridge was a nice bonus. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioner worked loudly (which I like). Great location as well. I would certainly recommend it and stay there again.

Relatively economical, not far from beach
The room we were eventually put in was a very clean and large suite, with the usual amenities--comfortable, quiet, and had efficient A/C. We were quite pleased with the room. The price of the room/hotel may seem a bit pricey, but it is actually a reasonable price for Muscat. The room comes with a free continental breakfast, but this reviewer recommends that you either plan on eating elsewhere or bring your own food (there is a small fridge in the room), as the breakfast consisted of white bread toast, instant coffee, reheated baked beans, and some form of eggs. We had a minor dispute with the staff about the room size (Expedia indicated a king-size, while we were given a double), but the manager accommodated us and moved us to a king-size. Expedia's website has also been corrected. Expedia also indicated check in as early as 6am, but the hotel staff insisted on charging us a half-night for such an early check-in (our flight arrived at 4am), which is unacceptable, but we paid it under protest. Expedia's website now shows 10am, but please endeavour to check all the details and ensure the hotel honours them. I will note that the manager did follow up with us after to apologize for our inconvenience. The hotel is a 5-minute walk to the beach, is right beside another hotel (Ramee Guestline) with a popular bar, and down the hill from the Crowne Plaza. Cabdrivers get it confused with the similarly-named Beach Hotel in the Qurum area which is not near this hotel

NOT Value for the money you pay!
Actually we don't know where to start...but; bathroom was in worse condition that i ever seen.a lot of broken staff, improvised repairer-look terrible,AC air smell like hell, bet mattress - we just sink down for 15 cm,.. At night at 1:30 staff start to clean a room next door. Why? nobody-knows! More than half of Hotel was empty, but they put 3-guest room next to each other; i can here laud arabic, smell smoke out of non-smoke room,...On my question why they did like that-no logical explanation. On ckeck-out We ask receptionist if they ever seen rooms inside or if cleaning staff give them eny feed back about room condition...NO! Not even hotel manager/owner show no interests about "room condition". He just always ignore everything. Breakfast so poor....no commmet! Like customer we must always pay on the end. And all we wont i just FAIR service ( decent room for decent price, helfull staff,....).

Perfect considering the price
The scenery around the hotel (especially at Crowne Plaza which is a walking distance away) and how close the beach was made this hotel just perfect. Breakfast is provided and for lunch I went to Crowne Plaza till the sunset, it was simply amazing. The hotels location is what makes it stand out from the rest and the main reason why I'd go back to it again.

It is in Qurm, but that is it...
The room is fine and so is the location...If you need to be in that area. But it is tired hotel and needs a refurbishment. Also the water pressure was very low and so could not shower. It is Oman so to find a reasonable priced hotel in Muscat is difficult in the first place.
