Sohar Port

First off, I want to highlight that this review is as low as it is because of their service. Absolutely terrible service, treating their customers as a bunch of livestock and animals. We prepaid for this hotel via Hotels.com. They did not offer our prepaid reservation, claiming that the price was too low. This I understand, and I was even willing to pay extra to make up for it. However, it’s how they handled the situation. We had an extra person visiting us, they were going to stay somewhere else but visited us in the room. The front desk called us 3 separate times, asking us how many people we booked and how many people were currently in the room. They finally made us go to the front desk, and then proceeded to say that visitors must leave by 9pm following hotel policy. THIS WAS STATED NOWHERE in the hotel, HOW COULD WE HAVE KNOWN?? They wanted us to pay extra for the visitor in the room, but we insisted that he will leave as soon as possible and ended up not paying. The ridiculous thing is, the original “low” price they claimed is not even that low, since you can get even lower price hotels in the region, with probably better amenities and service. The rooms were old, the lights were dim, and the floors were greasy. The room was disgusting, and there seemed to be cockroach faeces behind the drawers. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS.
