Staff were super friendly and helpful. We arrived late but we were upgraded to a bigger room - the baby crib was already there and prepared, and they set up an extra bed fairly quickly and nicely immedietly after being requested, and they also gave us late check-out without being so stingy and pushy about it. The place was also clean and very well-maintained. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, everything worked. We even let our 8 month old crawl in the bedroom, as a testment of how we felt about the cleanliness of the hotel. There was a children's play room, which had a summer camp ongoing, so we left our daughter to play there with a lot of kids for a few hours and it was super safe, engaging, and fantastic for her, absolutely wonderful. Facilities are top notch for the price we paid, including gym, pool, etc, and a great executive lounge at the top floor, which had snacks, fruits, and refreshments. The place felt lively and joyful, it is unfortionate we were staying for only one night.

The W Muscat stands out for its modern design, excellent location, and comprehensive facilities, making it a great choice for travelers seeking luxury with a touch of the unique W personality. Whether it was lounging by the pool, indulging in the culinary delights, or simply soaking in the views from my balcony, my stay was memorable. I look forward to returning to the W Muscat and exploring more of what the hotel and the city have to offer.

Our first visit to Oman and Muscat and I would say, without a doubt, the very best place to stay there. The hotel was superb from beginning to end and a lovely, helpful, welcoming and accommodating staff. We booked a premium room with balcony and Seaview, and it certainly did not disappoint. It had great facilities, was cleaned and attended to daily, and was spotless. It had a super balcony, with chairs and footstools to relax in the evening time. The breakfast was lovely with a great variety of cooked and fresh produce on offer each day. We ate in both Come Prima Italian Restaurant and Dukes Bar Restaurant in the evenings and the food was delicious, with great service also. The shuttle bus, which takes you into town either in the morning or evening is very useful, as parking is at a premium in the old city, although we did drive in on one evening and got lucky with a parking space on the Corniche. We used the shuttle on our first evening to go visit the Mutrah Souq and it was so convenient. The pools and sunbeds are fantastic, allowing for a very relaxing time during the day if you wish to just pass away the hours soaking up the sun. The private beach, accessible by a set of steps, is also quite secluded. Would definitely recommend this hotel for any stay in Muscat. While it is classified 4*, it has everything that would merit 5"! We enjoyed every moment. A memorable break in Oman.

​Staying at this hotel felt like living in the beautiful old Oman era. I absolutely loved the authentic design featuring charming details like wooden roofs, lumber beds, stone sinks, magnificent log reception desk and the massive Castle in the middle. ​The hospitality was just as impressive. The staff were incredibly polite, and the reception was open 24 hours, making us feel very cared for. The cafe serves high-quality coffee, I particularly loved the Cappuccino and Mocha. ​Breakfast was exceptionally tasty with very fast servicel. I highly recommend ordering the Omani tray it was delicious.

The hotel is a little bit unromatically situated directly at the highway "23rd July". It takes about 30 minutes by car to get to the "Moutrah Souq". To the airport about 20 minutes. You can park in front of the hotel or in the hotel's own parking garage. A small supermarket ("Alma") is about 700m away and can be reached safely on foot. Our 1-bedroom apartment had everything you need, including a fully equipped kitchen. There was even a washing machine in an adjoining room. Bottled water and Nespresso pods were provided daily free of charge. The beds were the best we encountered in Oman because they were not as hard as usual. There are two restaurants in the house "Oak" and "Hamra". We were there for Ramadan, which is why the "Hamra" had a comprehensive daily Ramadan buffet at sunset for OMR 11.50 per person. We were happy to take advantage of this. However, the drinks cost considerably more in the "Hamra" than in the "Oak", which was incomprehensible to us. Breakfast was served in the "Oak". Contrary to the information on the room, there was also a buffet there, also very rich.

The Al Falaj Hotel is just fantastic! Excellent room service and front desk support. The breakfast is excellent. A pristine, well-kept setting! The wonderful pool is great for both kids and adults. Enjoyed, enjoying the steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi. Fantastic hotel in a great Muscat location. Pleasant staff and service. The organization of the rooms, dining areas, restaurants, meeting rooms, and party venues is impeccable. The lobby is gorgeous, and most guests are tourists. Being a family hotel, we had a lovely time there. Both residents and visitors to the area can enjoy a very excellent tea corner with a variety of tea and coffee. It is a reasonably priced piece of real estate. The Al Falaj Hotel provides ample parking, and all popular destinations like Mutrah, the corniche, Riwi, and the Royal Opera are within 10 to 15 minutes' driving distance. Thank you for the gracious welcome, Al Falaj Team. Insha'Allah, we shall return shortly.

The stay was great, the staff was friendly and helpful in everything. Everything could be resolved, for example, early check-in and late check-out. We received new water for each member of the room every day. There was always room cleaning as well. The rooms were equipped as expected. Everything was clean, but it showed signs of use. The breakfasts were excellent and varied; however, there was a problem with the service during breakfast, as it was clear that one employee could not manage it. This repeated for three days, and then there were two employees, and everything worked smoothly again. The price-performance ratio was great.

I had the pleasure of using the Remas Hotel facilities even if only for one night. The shuttle from and to the airport (free) is about 20 min. and is so convenient especially for a short stay between flights. The room was large and clean. The breakfast is also excellent and worth it. If you have time to visit interesting places in Muscat I recommend using a taxi through the OTAXI app (similar to Uber). Many thanks for the professional efforts of all the staff (airport shuttle, reception, restaurant) to make me feel good and comfortable. See you again!

Amazing service that truly made an impression! Would recommend this place to everyone travelling to Muscat in Oman. Special thanks to Sui, she was truly kind and amazing.

Very impressed with our first visit to Muscat and Oman.

Very impressed with our first visit to Muscat and Oman. Good hotels at good value and great food at great value. We rented a car from NAB rentacar which was delivered to the hotel. Didn't use taxis. Bought a SIM card from Omantel at the airport for use with our portable wi-fi router so we could navigate around ourselves. If you want a spectacular world class, 4x4 low range track up to Jebel Shams get the gps track from Wikiloc - Rustaq to Shams. Not for the fainthearted! Our Mitsubishi Montero Sport on worn factory tyres managed easily.

1) All the staff were most helpfull, however the language barrier caused a minor hic-cup with the room service when ordering from the menu in my room. Staff took it upon themselves to ad-lib with food subsitutions from the set breakfast menu, without informing the customers. It was eventually sorted out. 2) The water pressure in the shower was very low, could do with improvement. 3) The swimming pool was not available for use untill May 2024. Other than those 3 issues the hotel represents value for money. I would stay again, but make sure the swimming pool was available for use.

Muscat is more authentic than places like Dubai and Qatar, and a lot more laid back. It isn't expensive (its a lot cheaper than Dubai) and there is a lot to do. The main mosque is very impressive and the day trips to the islands for snorkelling are good. The main souq is also very good

Seeb is far away (over 20 km) from city center. Nothing to see there. So not many tourists there. But it is developing. Quiet long beach but no infrastructure. You need car to get to the center! There is a lively street food market in the night where you can get great food for low price.
