We wanted to stay around the corniche area where we could walk to souk and not get taxis and there are non of the big hotel chains only small hostel style guest houses. This hotel is in a great location for walking the corniche, visiting the fish market, wandering the souk and being in old town Muttrah. We had a... More

This hotel is moderately priced, and our room overlooked the harbour and was big enough for a family. There's not much furniture, but the room was clean and the bed comfortable. The views of the Corniche are lovely, day or night, and while the bathroom was quite dated, there was plentiful hot water and a bath with shower over. Stay... More

Conveniently located on the corniche, with free parking out the front, but at $40 for a small room with a bare hint of a shower, it's not really "budget". Staff on duty when I arrived had no knowledge of my booking and was pretty rude (it turned out to be no problem getting a room in summer though, which gave... More

This hotel is located right on the corniche just steps away from the Muttrah souq. The fish market is across the street There are several rooms with balconies that look out onto the corniche. The location is excellent. It is also a good deal. It is more expensive than similar hotels where I have stayed in other places but hotels... More

I booked this hotel by email one week in advance. I was going to Muscat to sit for my MRCP examination at the Royal Hospital in Muscat. I stayed at this hotel for five days. The hotel is situated on the sea-front, facing the sea. In summer, days are long in the Gulf. Sunrise usually occurs early in the morning,... More

The best thing about the Corniche is its location - right on the Corniche in Muttrah, near the fish market and if you have a room at the front with a balcony, you will have a perfect view of the harbour and the new, somewhat bombastic, coloured fountain. Right in the heart of Muttrah, just a five-minute walk to the... More

If you seek a great location, local flavor, and budget fare, this is a good choice. If you value a clean modern facility, maybe you should seek alternate accommodation. We stayed in what was labeled a remodeled room looking over a dark alley filled with cats. The room was not clean (hair, dubious blankets, previous guests stuff in the 'fridge).... More
