- czystość nie istnieje - okna nie domykają się i przez szpary słychać głośną ulicę - klima ma tryb działa/nie działa i jest bardzo brudna - parking mały i wiecznie zastawiony + Średnio urozmaicone ale smaczne śniadania + Basen na dachu i siłownia + Miła obsługa + Hotel sam zaproponował dodatkowy materac dla dziecka, bezpłatnie + Przyzwoity internet + Okolica mieszkalna więc dużo knajpek i sklepików

Great hotel and pretty central

Excellent breakfast buffet with clean room located fairly central. Only downfall was I was being charged for a full day for late check out despite confirming late check out time with staff the day before with no additional costs. I’m not happy with their aggressive behaviour and had I known a charge was added I would not have stayed.

Nettes Hotel mit zentraler Lage

Das Hotel war toll, auch wenn der Pool schon etwas herunter gekommen war, aber das ist eben Oman :) Das Zimmer war sauber und sehr groß, sogar mit Küche. Leider war es etwas dunkel, aber dafür auch nie zu warm :) Es gab sogar eine Waschmaschine! Das Frühstück war auch sehr lecker und für Oman vielfältig.

a disappointed getaway

very uncomfortable; A/C wasn't that cool considering that it was summer in Oman (upwards of 40 degrees Celsius) even if we checked-in after midnight. WiFi was patchy and there were lights that weren't working so the room was kinda dark. already stayed in hotels around Muscat which were way cheaper but more comfortable; this looks like a motel
