Grand Hyatt Muscat

Good and clean hotel. But the beach was closed and you couldn't swim.

The hotel is located at a beach front. Easy acces to beach and 5 minutes walk to a small mall called Water Front. Grand Hyatt staff is professional and polite at all times. Rooms are clean and well maintained but the mattress and pillows are too soft. Need to change that. Other than that it was a fantastic family holiday!

This hotel was recommended to us by someone who has visited numerous times and really enjoyed their stays, so we booked here specially. It was an absolutely beautiful property, very conveniently located, had friendly staff (especially Mahmoud), was clean, accommodating, and safe/peaceful. We cannot wait to come again and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. We also really appreciated the traditional art work, antique doors/windows, and vibrant cultural influences all around the building. Staying here made our stay in Muscat that much more enjoyable. Thank you to all there.

Having connecting doors in the room was problematic since the was a screaming baby next door that woke us up during the night.

"Grand" indeed! Gorgeous marble and stone everywhere. Renovation work off to the side of the main reception desk should be over soon. The rest of the hotel was fine. My room was comfy, and the central pool area between wings of the hotel is sheltered and relaxing. (Try to get a room overlooking the CENTRAL garden, if possible. Mine looked at a dusty backside tennis court and utility area. There was sea beyond that, however.) As an alternative to the pricey breakfast buffet, the nearby French Bakery is one of the few off-site food venues. It has a variety of food besides coffee and pastries and is open till late. If one has a car, it's a fine location (Shati Al-Qurum). If one doesn't, getting around is all by taxi, and there are few services or dining options within easy walking distance in this diplomatic quarter. A relaxing, full-service get-away if a family just wants a self-contained vacation resort and is happy to pay more for in-hotel meals.
