Fabulous property near airport and convention centre. Best buffet breakfast around and notging too much trouble. Great pools on ground floor so no being blown away with omani winds. The quickest check out ever.

Everything has been great, the only issue was that sometimes there was a foul smell from the drainage in the rooms. Also my room did not have a mini bar and bottle openner!

Very good hotel, comfortable, just don't be hungry
The hotel itself was very good, friendly and helpful front desk staff, clean and comfortable rooms, in an excellent location. Just don't be hungry. Ordered food at 11PM, didn't get it up to 2AM despite 7 follow up calls to room service. Cancelled the order at 2AM (person on the line did not care). Was woken up at 3.30AM by the WRONG food being delivered (despite cancelling the order 1.5 hours earlier). We slept hungry and fasted the next day (Ramadhan).

It is conveniently located for going to Oman Exhibition and Convention Center, but for nothing else. No shops or restaurants in the surrounding area. The property is well maintained, though.

GREAT HOTEL
A great hotel ideally situated close to the airport if you are using it more frequently. Taxi costs 7 OMR (£15 ish). Good food and excellent value buffet service if you choose it. Other alacarte restaurants available also in Hotel. Super friendly staff and extremely helpful. Pool bar/ nice pool and nice garden area. Upstairs sports bar. Tennis court and spa if you fancy it. Within touching distance of the beach, but you need a car or taxi (not walkable). Small mini market not too far (for the little stuff at MUCH cheaper prices!) Surprisingly quiet whilst we were there and not in the Hubble of the town centre and crowds. If it you want that - this is not the place for you as it is quite isolated (what we actually wanted but doesn't suit all).
