I chose this hotel for its proximity to the airport. It is situated off Sultan Qaboos Road which is one of the main roads running through the city and therefore allows easy access to landmarks such as Muscat Grand Mosque and major shopping malls etc.
The check-in and check-out was effortless. However the reception staff did not make any effort to to have my luggage transferred to my room (perhaps I should have asked). I ended up taking the luggage to the room myself.
The hotel room was spacious and was equipped with a full scale working fride/freezer, a spacious wardrobe, dressing table, bed and side tables, Aircon & ceiling fan, Satellite TV, Tea Kettle, glasses, cups, teaspoons and complimentary teabags, milk & sugar sachets for the tea as well as complimnentary water bottles.
The room was remarkably clean and the bed was well made up. The room also had a balcony overlooking the city; accessible through a sliding glass door.
The washroom was very clean, however both the toilet tank and water douche were leaking and therefore there was water on the floor all along. There were no slippers provided and given that most washrooms here are "Wet" type, it would make sense to carry washroom slippers if you decide to stay here.
I only saw one elevator (max capacity of 8 persons) in the building although I never attempted to look for another one. It did serve my purpose satisfactorily as I was on my own. Available parking is limited
