Muscat Express Hotel

Hotel location was really good- close to many restaurants and supermarkets. Breakfast was delicious- a lot of variety everyday and the breakfast staff were quick to refill and clear away. The beds were very comfortable. Bathroom had good water pressure and the soap/shampoo/lotion smelled lovely. The middle aged Indian gentleman and the younger Indian gentleman at night in reception were excellent and helpful. Housekeeping staff did a great job cleaning the rooms.

Room comfort, breakfast, cleanliness

The room was huge with a comfy bed, and the staff were super nice at the reception, restaurant and cleaning service, particularly Harrison, from room service. Since he speaks English as his native language, it was refreshing to exchange more than a few words after solo travelling for so long in the Arabian Peninsula. He made sure I always had water to drink. Thanks, Harry!

The Muscat Express Hotel was comfortable and conveniently located near supermarkets and restaurants. It was easy to get a taxi from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to other places. The hotel staff were very helpful, and even arranged a Muscat city tour for me at short notice. The hotel breakfast was excellent for a vegetarian like me. The room didn't have a hair dryer and had to ask for it at the front desk. Some of the hand rails in the bathroom were rusty and unappealing. Overall, this hotel is a good value for he money, and I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would recommend it.

Excellent price/quality ratio! The room stayed cool even after turning off the A/C, it was very nice and functional, with large bathroom, very large and very comfortable king bed (I often have back pain so a good bed is very important!), kettle with good basic amenities. And above all everything it was very clean. The staff is young, friendly and attentive to every need or request. Great location for visiting Muscat, 15 minutes from the airport and about 20 minutes from the Corniche and the Souq (we had a rental car), it was never a problem to find parking in front of the hotel. Abundant and rich breakfast. I read from other reviews that some people complain about a lack in the “sweet” side of breakfast, but I think from that point of view there is a good bare minimum. Then, personally, when I travel I like to follow local customs, and the breakfast offered some more local dishes in addition to the usual things of a hotel breakfast. I also particularly appreciated the possibility of requesting eggs cooked in any way you prefer. There is the possibility to have lunch and dinner at the hotel for a few Oman Rials. We did not take advantage of this, but it really seems to us to be an added value. Also, there are small restaurants, supermarkets, and all kinds of stores in the area. We really had a very good time, bravo!
