Muscat Express Hotel

The hotel is in a good location, with plenty of shops, restaurants, coffee houses, takeaways etc nearby. I got the 8 bus direct from the airport and walked 20mins from the stop to the hotel, which wasn’t too difficult, and costs less than £1 (400 baisa). I had a super king room to myself, with bottles of water and tea, coffee etc replenish each day. The bed was massive and extremely comfortable, I struggled to get out of it each morning, but had to as I wanted to be out seeing the city. A large tv is in the room with multiple channels, and the shower room is fantastic with toiletries etc provided. The staff were all friendly and helpful, all working hard to keep you happy, especially Pritam and Shaan, who are diamonds at the hotel, I was welcomed with tea and dates/figs when I walked in, and I had some great chats with them. Breakfast is buffet style and has a lot of options available, with karak chai/tea, coffee and juices available. You will be more than happy with the food here, and they also have drinks etc available downstairs in their cafe bar, if you want to buy drinks throughout the day. The hotel is clean, has a gym which is open til late, and there is tea and dates/figs available at reception/lobby area 24-7 - a welcome treat each day you go out and return after a weary day out! The beautiful Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is a 25min walk away or a short taxi journey, managed to fit in a visit and it was amazing! There is also a prayer room at the hotel if you need it. There are local buses that take you to the souk/markets, museums, etc or you can take a taxi. I loved the hotel, and the staff made my stay even better. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone and would return again! Thank you!
