I booked this accommodation due to the necessity of having a washing machine and a cooker because I have an infant who needs clothes washing regularly, which is a considerable cost if I will pay for a laundry. The second and most important attracted thing was the fact that this hotel is a member of Radisson individuals which is to be under Radisson that is supposed to be trusted for its quality of service. My general review: I would maximally and very generously rate it as 3-stars hotel which shows an effort trying to be 4 or 5-stars. The main disadvantage: My main issue was with the washing machine. It has been changed twice after a failed trial of fixing by the engineering team in the first two washers, which means that I tried to wash the same clothes 5 times in 3 different washing machines. I was so patient with them. After the 4th trial I went to complain again with a very upset appearance while the housekeeping supervisor was incidentally their in the reception. He decided to take the clothes and do the laundry for free, and asked them to solve my problem, so they brought the 3rd washing machine to my room. Then I refused fixing or changing the washing machine anymore.
After the 5th failed trial which is in the 3rd washing machine due to the huge need of my infant to change clothes due to her health status (vomiting, diarrhea, diaper leaking, and the cold weather which needs extra clothing layers) = I went to the reception to ask for a senior or a manager and incidentally the manager was their, he thankfully gave me his personal number and asked me to contact him whenever I need anything. Thereafter the housekeeping supervisor refused doing my laundry so I contacted him and he accepted. He thnkfully sent me free packs of breakfast to my room after my appology to have breakfast because I was tired after a whole night at hospital with my infant. Then I paid for my third laundry in a laundry shop which is located nearby just to avoid more headache. The washing machine was either spelling water all over the floor, not rotating to wash or dry, not draining water, or basically not working at all. The second disadvantage: The room's temperature which was maximally 19 and goes down to 17 despite of the AC being switched off throughout my stay. Additionally I switched off the AC in the corridor as well, with no benefit at all. I did not complain about this issue since I was busy with the first problem which is a priority for me.
Other disadvantages: During my continuous complaints some receptionists did not act welcoming, rather they were upset bacause I am insisting to solve my problem and they are insisting to keep fixing and changing the washers. I understand that they don't have the ability and tools to solve my problem, but they keep trying the same way instead of escalating it to their seniors. The pan in the kitchen was awfully dirty with old oil stains. The floor cleaning is not suitable with a 4-star hotel. It should be 3.
The location was very perfect, everything can be found nearby. The room makeup and houskeeping were very sufficient and satisfying. The manager was very welcoming. They are generous and never refused giving extra tea, coffee, towels, water bottles and so on. The staff in general were very welcoming, helpful and respectful. The end result = I will never book in this hotel again, and I don't recommend it for those who need facilities other than a bed to sleep, a bathroom to...

Alright, listen up, fellow travelers. If you're looking for a hotel in Muscat with a side of hide-and-seek and a pinch of "are we lost in Narnia?", then strap in, because I'm about to tell you about my "delightful" (read: teeth-clenchingly frustrating) experience at a certain nameless establishment (let's call it "The Enigma" for now).
First off, finding this place was like trying to track down a rogue camel in the desert. The address? Panaroma Mall. Yeah, good luck with that. There were about as many signs pointing to The Enigma as there were palm trees with disco balls (seriously, not one!). We finally stumbled upon it thanks to a kind soul who pointed us towards the Gloria Jeans coffee shop - apparently, The Enigma is its shy, reclusive cousin living in the basement.
Parking? Public and free, which is basically like finding a unicorn wearing Crocs at a Lulu hypermarket sale. No fancy valet here, just park it yourself and pray you don't get abducted by aliens (the place is THAT mysterious).
But hey, let's talk about the good stuff! The front desk lady was an absolute gem. Upgraded our room to an apartment? More like waved a magic wand and transformed our shoebox into a palace (well, a compact, clean palace with all the family-friendly essentials). Just don't ask about the balcony views - let's just say they were "industrial chic" with a generous helping of air conditioning units.
Speaking of food, vegetarian friends, brace yourselves. We were all set to feast at the legendary Vasantha Bhavan, only to discover it was as dead as disco. So much for our dosa dreams. But hey, the NMC hospital is nearby, so you can always pop in for a quick IV drip of hummus if things get desperate.
Now, location? That, my friends, is where The Enigma truly shines. It's like the Beyonce of budget hotels, surrounded by all the glitz and glam of mega malls like the Mall of Oman, Grand Mall, and Avenue Malls. Basically, you're a stone's throw away from retail therapy and overpriced lattes. Oh, and the NMC hospital is there too, just in case that post-mall sugar crash hits you a little too hard.
So, would I recommend The Enigma? Well, if you're a fan of scavenger hunts, enjoy the thrill of the unknown, and have a deep appreciation for Gloria Jeans coffee shops, then by all means, book your stay! Just remember, pack your sense of humor, a GPS with a built-in genie, and maybe some snacks (because let's face it, vegetarian options are as rare as decent Wi-Fi in this place).
Overall, The Enigma was an experience. Not always a good one, mind you, but definitely one I won't forget. Just like that time I accidentally ate camel burger (true story, Muscat is wild). So, if you're looking for a hotel that's equal parts confusing and oddly charming, The Enigma might just be your cup of chai (or should I say, mystery latte?). Just don't blame me if you get lost...
