10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Muscat: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 30, 2023 Nicolette Lion

Strung below craggy mountains, the Omani capital of Muscat is one of the Middle East’s oldest and most picturesque cities. Between its corniches and modern quarter are Portuguese-built forts, blue-domed mosques, royal palaces, and souks, all heavy with the sense of a lost Arabia.

Budget friendly and great location

Reviewed By giedette

Great location, rooms are big, it was not so clean but it was manageable. Receptionist staffs and housekeeping people are all "strongly suggested" to go for the training to become "well mannered and extremely polite" with all the guest. One "exceptional" from all the receptionist is the Omani guy whose name is "Sudiqqe" he was so helpful, always smiling and very polite, accommodating and well mannered from all. The Manager namely "Mr. Bernard" who was so helpful, very professional and well mannered, is the one who made us feel comfortable and was trying to make us happy from the last few days of our stay in the hotel. He was the one who help us also to recovered my bottle of perfume and the pack of facemask which was "intentionally stolen" in our room from one of the housekeeping. Overall, if your are looking for a budget friendly hotel, Mutrah hotel can be recommended.

Reasonable for a beach hotel

Reviewed By oonlee

My son and I had a comfortable stay at this hotel. Our room was on the second floor facing the parking lot but it was quiet enough for us not to be bothered by the bars and disco on the opposite end of the hotel and we still had quick access to the pool and beach behind the hotel. Air conditioning worked well as well as the cable TV, plus our rate included breakfast which was plentiful (choice of Arabic, American or Continental) even though the hotel was not completely flexible about providing it earlier than their 7 am start time. It was also served inside a bar, although room service is apparently available as well. The restaurant downstairs specializes in sheesha by the way. Restaurants are plentiful in the area so don’t feel obliged to eat at the hotel. Essentially it’s a basic hotel on Al Qurum beach that’s cheaper than its neighboring hotels like the W or the Intercontinental.

Needs improvement

Reviewed By _rain0420_

I tried booking at bowshar international hotel, because i heard a lot of good things about the hotel especially it is near the oman avenues mall. When i arrived at the reception i payed cash, confirmed reservation (usual). Check your change before you leave because that was my mistake coz i was too tired from the travel and too occupied with my bags in my hands i just accept it and go straight into my room, its too late when i noticed that the change he gave me is less :( The room they gave me was too far from the elevator, ugh! The room was spacious ?. No complimentary water. No free coffee nor tea. Water in the fridge is not free. No kettle. The aircon is dirty. They did not offer to help me to carry my heavy bags when they saw me. Ask for receipt after you check out so that they cannot put "no show" in your booking in the booking app. I guess they know that i have a lot to say in the review ? afterwards. I still want to give this hotel a chance.. maybe next time its better.
