Top Sultan's Armed Forces Museum Hotel Reviews

Mandarin Oriental, Muscat

10/10 Excellent

"This an absolutely amazing hotel. The rooms, the staff, in fact everything is top notch. I’ll be coming back again in the future"

InterContinental Muscat by IHG

8/10 Good

"Service was not to the standards I'd expect from an Intercontinental, specially when the property was not busy."

Jumeirah Muscat Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel, beautiful private beach, amazing scenery, tucked away in the mountains of Muscat. A must stay!"

Sheraton Oman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great breakfast, and friendly staff. I highly recommend this place!"

Al Falaj Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"While the breakfast included in my accommodation package was quite good, I missed having items like olives and cheese. They could improve on this aspect."

High Residency - Beachfront Well Furnished & Spacious Apartment

8/10 Good

"The host was exceptional throughout our stay. Communication was excellent, responses were very prompt, and he was always supportive and willing to help.The main area needing improvement is the check-in process. We arrived at around 5am with several pieces of luggage and it took almost an hour to find the apartment. There was no clear information about the six lifts, which entrance to use, or how to access the correct basement/lifts. We had to walk around 20 minutes from one end of the building to the other with our luggage, with no trolleys or assistance available. Clear, step-by-step arrival instructions would make a huge difference.The parking barriers worked on the first day but stopped working afterwards, meaning we had to park outside in extreme heat.There were also maintenance issues. The shower head in the second bathroom came off and was never repaired despite the host contacting management. Water pressure in the first bathroom was also extremely low.The location is excellent, particularly being close to the beach. Delivery drivers can struggle to find the building unless given the names of shops within the boutique mall.Overall, the host was fantastic and very responsive. Most issues were with building access, parking and management rather than the host. Better check-in instructions and quicker maintenance would greatly improve the experience."

Crowne Plaza Muscat by IHG

10/10 Excellent
