YAQOOT HOLDING, hotel in Muscat

Located within 6.7 km of Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and 8.6 km of Royal Opera House Muscat, YAQOOT HOLDING offers rooms in Muscat.

It was such a great experience! The staff went above and beyond, I've stayed at many accommodations but I've never experienced such hospitality. Mohamed not only picked us up from the airport, but he drove us around the city and helped us so much. The room was lovely and we had a balcony with a view of the ocean.

ALWAFA HOTEL FLATS, hotel in Muscat

Located within less than 1 km of Central Business District and 4.2 km of Old Watch Tower, ALWAFA HOTEL FLATS offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Ruwī.

It's actually located at the bus station. Travelers like me who basically rely on public bus would love the location. There's a hypermarket opposite the road of the hotel. There are a few eateries nearby. The flat is in good size. Wifi works well. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Absolute best hostel in whole Muscat! Kaab, the guy running the place is well- spoken , helpfull ( beyond what is expected) and flexible. As a solo traveler, it feels safe , to have such a person's whatsapp number if you get in situations where you dont understand what is going or trouble in anyway, anywhere! The place is the only 10/10 and very priceworthy! Totally recommend it !

    The room was spacious, with air conditioning and fan. The owner is really friendly and helpful. It is a quiet and clean hostel with a pleasant atmosphere. The area around has a lot of restaurant and shops. The bed, still being a bunk bed, was quite confrtable.

    This is a great value hotel in the heart of Muscat City - great location which is accessible and cost effective for taxis to get around anywhere you wish! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helping and I enjoyed my stay. Ideal if you're just looking for a comfortable place to sleep whilst you're out on excursions for most of the day! Also, getting to the airport from here (and most landmarks) is cheap.
