A frequent traveller to Oman, I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Johny Hotel. Formerly ‘The TreasureBox’ the hotel has recently undergone extensive renovations. I chose this hotel for several reasons: a) I was only staying in Muscat overnight; my flight arrival was late; I had an early start next morning b) I had friends joining me, flying... More

Basic, yet effective. The rooms are large, the building site next door was interesting. The breakfast was simple, if you like Yoghurt you should be ok! I am told its now under new management so it could be a lot different now. We called it the Tissue Box

It ticks all the boxes for the grading system, though most of the amenities are kind of bolted on rather than designed in. Was my place of choice sme years ago but then changed hands in 2011 and sort of didn't change. Prices affordable, never managed breakfast and well placed for a quick drive anywhere else.

OK hotel about 10 mins taxi from airport. In an area with very little on doorstep so impossible to walk out and get any food/provisions and hotel doesn't offer room service. Room OK and bathroom good, only gave one bottle of complimentary water between 2, which is difficult given no shops nearby. Pillows were as thin as postage stamps. No... More

Booked as a single night as we were arriving in early hours, prior to transfer to our resort the next morning. Easily reachable by taxi from the airport (7 RO), taking about 10 minutes. 24hr reception was swift and very friendly, and the hotel is typical of this standard for the Middle East in its decor. Our room was very... More

The hotel is very clean and in a good position close to the main road, half way from Airport to downtown Muscat. If you have a rental car this hotel is perfect. Comparing with other hotels in Oman this is cheap considering the quality if you are not looking for an hotel with swimming pool or jim. The only negative... More

Let me start with the positives: It was cheap The room was large The room was clean However... The room is a little tired and basic - thats ok though it was cheap, but The hotel restaurant is closed, and although there was a room service menu, that is now also not an option. So I asked the reception what... More

This hotel is good value for money. Maybe the decoration is a little bit tacky, but the hotel is new and clean. The rooms are spacious and complete. A nice staff also earns extra points. Location is not the most convenient, though. It is near the mosque, but somewhat off the city center. The GPS took us to a complete... More

The location of this hotel was kinda difficult to find, it is not centrally located, however close to the qabus mosque. The hotel looks like a villa, however the rooms are amazingly cozy and very comfortable. There is a sitting area to watch t.v. and chat with your friends, and you can invite few extra people to the room, without... More
