Green Oasis Hotel — Hotel in Al Batinah North Governorate

A great option for students at the College of Medicine of the National University in Sohar. The hotel is located right in front of the college, just a 2-minute walk away, and there is also a grocery store only 2 minutes’ walk from it. The place is always secure with someone at the reception, and I believe the management is Omani (not fully sure), but the person who is always at the hotel is Omani. Although the hotel is not new, the staff are very cooperative—especially Shabloo. Just ask for him and he will help you. He is very friendly, supportive, and makes you feel at home. There is also another staff member who is helpful, but I don’t know his name.

The student room costs 120 OMR, including internet, water, electricity, and cleaning. However, since the staff are few, you just need to mention their names clearly and they will do the necessary. Honestly, I recommend this place, especially for new students. Keep in mind, there may be some small issues in the rooms, but if you inform the staff about your needs, they will always...

We spent two nights here. Not terrible, but four things that bugged me. ||||1. Cockroaches. Not big ones, thankfully, but lots of little ones--I believe coming from the bathroom drain. In fairness, the hotel is a patch of green in the desert, so of course life flocks to it. If you get a room on the second floor you might be okay. ||||2. Spotty wifi. Had a hard time getting connected. ||||3. Thin curtains. You're waking up at 6am whether you want to or not, because the sun comes streaming right through the curtains. ||||4. Sketchy food. We have a friend who warned us off the food, saying he got diarrhea the one time he ate there. We were like, whatever, we had breakfast there a few hours ago and we're fine. The next morning, though, breakfast got us. So be warned. ||||Other things--it's about 4km off the coastal road, so it's fairly secluded. That can be good, but if you don't have a car getting out and about can be tricky. I didn't see many taxis in the area. The pool was good. AC and water heaters worked fine. I've stayed in...

Its the worst hotel I ever stayed. Unfortunately I stayed more than 1 weeks here for business purpose because to my client booked the hotel due to the unavailability of rooms in other hotels. You can find the slowest WiFi connection in Middle East here. Don't even think about a voice/video chat or YouTube video. In half an hour the WiFi will disconnect at least 4 times. They have a swimming pool for name sake with full of Chlorine. The location is far from the city and in the middle of the desert. The highlight is the reception staff, any of the reception staff don't know English. Once I complaint that room don't have lock, I got an answer from receptionist that "What can I do for that?". The furniture in the rooms are at least 10 year old. Flush & tap not working properly in bathroom. The only best thing is the room space. They have...
