This Hotel is probably not your first choice as it seems to be for corporate parties but, it is such a fabulous comfortable, friendly and safe hotel, you'll wonder why you hadn't tried it before. My husband and I stayed for 10 nights half board this February. The meals were buffet style which varied every night. There were also various... More

Stayed last week in January. Standard room but with sea view - 6th (top) floor. Lovely situation with views back along the coast. Hotel not too big with plenty of attentive, courteous staff. Weather was perfect, wall to wall sun around 27/28 degrees most days 16 - 18 at night. Good sized pool not over used - no competition for... More

Three of us spent 3 nights here on the way to Abu Dhabi. We'd booked a standard room, but as there were three of us stating they suggested a Family room, which (although a little more expensive) turned out to be a great recommendation! The room was on the ground floor with the back of the room opening onto the... More

I stayed here for 4 nights in January. The pool area and view of the sea are excellent if you have time to relax on your trip. The food is generally good at the buffet, pool bar, and Italian restaurant. I'd especially recommend the Persian restaurant where I ate twice. The room I stayed in was dated and in need... More

I suspect that one day this venerable hotel will get bull-dozed, given its age and outstanding location, but in the meantime enjoy this value for money option - a relative term given grossly over priced hotels in Muscat. IHG have improved the rooms; they are fully functional if somewhat characterless. None of the selection of restaurants and bars stand out... More

Crowne Plaza Muscat chose itself for my recent trip to Muscat.
