"The hotel apartment is ideal for family of 4-5 on a budget. The rooms are large and it has more of an apartment feel vs a hotel. Service is decent though housekeeping is alternate days. Food options are excellent especially Indian restaurants in 2 minute walking distance (Cochin restaurant). The location enables easy 10 minute access to Mutrah souq and many attractions of Muscat. "
"The front desk staff and concierge were super friendly and helpful. The hotel shuttle with drop-off and pickup at tourist site was very convenient. The pool area is fantastic and extremely relaxing, and the beach area is idyllic. We really enjoyed our stay and will surely return!"
"Great staff at a hotel in an amazing country. They made my stay incredibly easy and the hotel is in a very convenient location. Akash at the front desk takes great care of guests. "

"The breakfast buffet was stupidly delicious, the food in the bottom floor restaurant is all flawless.
The pools and beach are always clean and the pool people were very attentive with bringing towels and water.
But in one sentence: the hotel is good but the staff is great! "
"We recently stayed at the InterContinental Muscat to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary, and it was one of the most memorable hotel experiences we have ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly and recognized as VIP guests, which immediately made us feel very special.
To our surprise and delight, our room was beautifully decorated with flowers, thoughtful snacks, and a delicious anniversary cake. This personal touch set the tone for a truly unforgettable holiday.
A heartfelt thank you goes to Shankar, Merilen, and Jemna for their outstanding care and attentiveness throughout our stay. We also want to recognize the wonderful Club Lounge team—Marian, Anna, Aliyaa, and many others whose names we may not recall—who consistently went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made us feel like part of the InterContinental family.
Every detail of our stay was handled with such thoughtfulness, and it was clear that the entire team takes great pride in making their guests feel valued. The combination of excellent service, beautiful surroundings, and heartfelt hospitality made our anniversary celebration truly unforgettable.
We are already looking forward to returning in the future and cannot recommend InterContinental Muscat highly enough to anyone visiting Oman. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special—you will always hold a very special place in our hearts."
"Lovely hotel with fantastic staff, great location and brilliant pool and facilities. The complimentary shuttle bus is also a great way to see some sights.
The only thing to be aware of if you’re not travelling on business is the on site restaurants / bars are very expensive, especially when the multiple taxes, fees and mandatory service charge have been added on."
