I see some negative comments about the rooms but mine was awesome. Balcony room which I assume was refurbished was great, clean comfortable bed, flat screen with many channels to watch in english. The service was 5 star, I was never told no to any request. The managers were great along with the front desk personnel. There was a young... More

I am a resident in Muscat and until recently, regularly used the Dukes Bar at the Crown Plaza. From 2009 to 2010 the food was of a consistently high standard but during 2011 there seemed to be some kind of problem. On three separate occasions food arrived up to an hour after ordering and often some of the dishes were... More

What a week end, myself and wife went there for our wedding anniversary and could not have wished for a better time or experience. I used to stay at this hotel when I worked in the middle east and always promised I would return for a leisure visit. The hotel is 5 star in my opinion, we loved the sea... More

I've stayed at the Crowne Plaza on many occsions over the past 6 years. Unfortunately, my stay last week will be my last for some time. The hotel is in need of a refurbishment and the catering in all the outlets could only be described as "bland" ...at best?. "The Edge" - once a landmark restaurant in a perfect location... More

The service was excellent as waiters danced attendance on us. It was our 27th wedding anniversary and they were really niee to us. We ate at Shiraz the Persian restaurant and the food was scrumptious, as the succulant flavour of the meat was absolutely divine. We sat on the balcony overlooking the beach and the sea with twinking lights of... More

Hotel standards are generally very high in the Gulf. Even Oman, without the abundant oil wealth of its neighbours, boasts quite a few good hotels with high standards. The Crowne Plaza in Muscat is truly an exception in that sense. Stayed there for only one night (thankfully) on business this month. The size of the room I was given was... More

Very pleasant clean hotel, good selection of food and drinks at the extensive Buffet Breakfast which sets you up for the day. Plenty of choice with restaurants, and a good no smoking bar which you dont always see in this region. Prices a little high, but I think that is the norm for Oman. Hotel check in a little delayed,...

We've done this one before, and were sufficiently happy with it to have another week. Friendly service and well worth the upgrade we decided to go for this time in the club rooms on the top floor. Access to the snacks and comfy open bar made a relaxing stay. The room we had this time was better, with plenty of... More

OK as others have said this is an old property and I also had problems with my room but they were all fixed fast. The views are lovely and you should definitely get a sea view room. But the standout for me was the amazing buffet restaurant. bar-be-q on Wednesday night. Wow -well done Chef. One of the best I've... More
