5-Star Hotels in Muscat

Excellent Experience overall. Hotel is new and breakfast was very good. Scenic and surrounding the hotel is in a developing stage. Hotel were flexible and warm welcoming note was touching. Had a good time, as staff services were excellent, but attending to phone showed delay and if not well maintained the bathroom floors can easily go unpleasant.

Overall, Fraser Suites Muscat met our expectations. We stayed here twice, including three nights at the start of our Oman trip before Ramadan and two nights at the end during Ramadan. As we arrived late at night and departed for an early flight, a 24-hour front desk was essential. Check-in and check-out were smooth both times. Parking is plentiful, with spacious options both in front of the hotel and in the basement, which is at street level. On both occasions, we were assigned One Bedroom Deluxe Suites with a beautiful view of the Mohammed Al Ameen Mosque across the main road. The rooms are spacious and feature a functional kitchen with a full fridge with freezer. However, we were disappointed that our request to stay in the same room for our second visit was not honoured. The check-in staff later explained they cannot reserve specific room numbers. We wish this had been clarified when we first made the request. This is one part of the service that I found lacking. The blackout curtains are excellent, effectively blocking out both the sunlight and the heat for mornings we wanted to sleep in. The suite also provides a box of laundry powder for the washing machine, which was very handy during our first stay. Muscat’s dry climate meant our clothes air-dried quickly overnight in the service yard. There are a good number of electric sockets, including some international ones, throughout the suite. While the rooms are generally clean, housekeeping was occasionally inconsistent with changing towels. Additionally, the shower area tends to flood due to the floor design, which was a common issue we encountered in other Omani hotels in this price range. The water pressure is adequate, but note that you must turn on the water heater in the room for at least an hour to ensure a consistently warm shower. This should be mentioned during check-in. Both stays were very quiet with no noise issues. Bottled water was given generously and topped up promptly upon request without limits. Our only minor struggle was the air conditioning. We could not quite figure out the wall controls, the system seemed only to cool rather than heat. With Muscat temperatures ranging from 18 to 28°C, the room felt a bit too cold at night, so we opted to switch the unit off entirely.

The hotel boasts a French romantic style, exuding a retro charm upon entry. Despite its age, it's well-maintained, and the rooms are spacious. Before going to bed, we discovered the bathroom fan was very loud. We contacted the hotel for repairs, but the technicians couldn't resolve the issue. The front desk stated they were full of rooms of the same category and could only offer a lower-category room. Therefore, we were forced to contact Ctrip customer service at 3 AM to coordinate with the hotel manager. Ultimately, the problem was resolved with a room upgrade. While the front desk's handling of the situation was flawed and may have shown some discrimination, Ctrip customer service was very helpful. It's important to stand up for your rights when facing problems. The hotel swimming pool is currently open, with a small door leading to the public beach. Room facilities are complete, and the breakfast is average.

Decent hotel, rooms were big for nothing really cheap and plain decor fake marble tiles room interior was not matching the hotel price or downstairs lobby, for the price of hotel all amenities and mini bar was chargeable also price of breakfast was not worth the money, the dressing table was a joke unusable plugs socket on dressing table, huge construction site outside the hotel only attraction was the 5 star restaurants on site keep your wallets loaded 😉

I initially booked this hotel for two days (21st-23rd), but due to unforeseen circumstances, I requested to postpone my stay by two days. After multiple negotiations where they repeatedly refused, Trip.com customer service had to intervene before they finally agreed to adjust the dates. The hotel environment is quite nice, but getting around is very inconvenient. It's far from tourist attractions, and taxis are expensive. There are no supermarkets nearby. This hotel is really only suitable for high rollers.

The Chedi brand never fails to disappoint. And the Muscat experience does it so much justice. And more. The usual “black pool” (2 of them actually), a gym like really really no other. And… the service. All the way up there. There should be more Chedi in the world! Special to Marebel and Anton who made our breakfast just perfect
