The room furnishings here take a bit of getting used and breakfast is a bit off-beat to but we couldn’t help but like the hotel overall. We had a straightforward double room and it was clean, tidy and cavernously large with one of the biggest double beds I’ve ever seen. Furnishings are very grand (not sure what the theme is) and, I would say, a bit of an acquired taste. There was no kettle and no bedside lights. Breakfast is a bit of a mixed affair. There is a buffet table with toast, cereals and juice and omelettes are available to order. In addition, everyone receives a personal platter with a pre-packaged croissant, a cup cake, some sliced tomato & cucumber, an apple and a selection of butter, jams, honey, cream cheese triangle and a processed cheese square. The hotel is located on the side of the main road through Bahla but is some distance from the centre so it’s essential to have a car. There are a couple of restaurants within easy walking distance on the other side of the road and a small shop just along from the hotel. All in all this hotel is a reasonable place to stay...
Read moreThe hotel is a convenient location for Jibreen fort which is less than 10 minutes drive away. This is a large traditional Omani hotel quite opulent in style. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. We had a corner room which provided plenty of natural light. Very large comfortable bed and good shower with plenty of hot water. There are no tea/coffee making facilities but the rooms do have air conditioning and WiFi although the signal for us was a little patchy. ||Breakfast the following morning is sufficient. The is a small buffet table offering tea, coffee, juice, cereals and toast and you also get a personal plate of various food items containing fruit, cheese, tomato, cucumber, cake and various jams. Eggs cooked to order also available. There was no restaurant open at the time of our visit but there is a very good restaurant just across the road that was better than we expected. ||For the low price offered this is a very good option and perfect for an...
Read moreEasy to find with Google maps, a large six storey modern building on a corner plot. It was therefore unexpected to find the room furnished in the style of an older traditional property. A good sized room, super king size bed still left plenty of room around it. Like the bed the bathroom was similarly oversized. All very clean and comfortable. Dealing with lots of small size tour groups as well as us individual travellers they offer a buffet dinner for 5R per person. This proved tasty and good value with soup, choice of six or so different hot dishes, curry, chicken etc with rice, pasta, salads etc. Fruit for dessert with water and soft drinks.||Breakfast was also a buffet of juice, a choice of cereals, chopped fruit or apples and bananas and hot dishes of baked beans, sausages, boiled eggs or omelette and bread. Not extensive or unusual but sufficient. Good WiFi, a/c and a TV we didn't try, all fine for a one...
