I found the hotel to be quite average overall. The room was spacious and clean, with helpful staff always smiling. However, I struggled a bit with the comfort of the bed and experienced some noise at night that made it hard to fall asleep. The slow and interrupted Wi-Fi was also a downside. On the plus side, the hotel offers alcoholic beverages, which is a nice touch for a place within this budget.

My stay was quite average. The room was spacious and clean, which I appreciated, but I struggled with a less-than-comfortable bed and some nighttime noise that distracted me from getting good rest. While the hotel offers good value for money and has the added perk of serving alcoholic beverages, the slow and interrupted Wi-Fi was a bit frustrating for me.

I found the hotel to be a decent option, with spacious and clean rooms and a cheerful staff that always wore a smile. That said, I struggled with the comfort of the bed, and noise at night made it harder to get a good night's sleep. The slow and interrupted Wi-Fi was also a letdown. While it’s not the best in Muscat, the value for money isn’t terrible, especially considering the availability of alcoholic beverages.

My stay was decent overall. The room was spacious and clean, plus the staff always had a smile on their faces, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the bed wasn't very comfortable, and I encountered some noise at night, making it tough to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the Wi-Fi in the room was slow and had interruptions, but the hotel offers alcoholic beverages, which is a nice perk for this budget range.

The hotel is spacious and clean with cheerful staff, which made my stay pleasant. Unfortunately, the bed wasn't very comfortable, and I struggled with noise at night, making it hard to sleep. The slow Wi-Fi was another downside, but considering the cost, I found it to be a fairly reasonable choice in Muscat. Plus, they do serve alcoholic beverages, which is a nice bonus compared to similar hotels.

I found the hotel to be quite average overall. The room was spacious and clean, which is a big plus, and the staff was friendly and always greeted me with a smile. However, the bed wasn't comfy, and I dealt with some noise at night that made it tricky to sleep. The slow Wi-Fi was also a downside. While the hotel offers alcoholic beverages, which is nice, I would say there are better options available in Muscat for what you pay.

I found the hotel to be average in many respects. The room was spacious and clean, which I appreciated, and the staff always seemed happy to help. However, I had some trouble with the bed, as it wasn't very comfortable, and there was quite a bit of noise at night that made it hard to sleep. The Wi-Fi was frustratingly slow and unreliable too. While it offers decent value for money, there are definitely better options in Muscat.

I found the hotel to be a decent option overall. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff were always smiling and helpful, which created a nice atmosphere. However, I struggled with the bed's comfort, and the nighttime noise made it hard for me to relax fully. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was slow and often interrupted my work, which was frustrating. On the bright side, the hotel does offer alcoholic beverages, giving it a slight edge over others in the same price range.

However, the bed was not very comfortable, and the noise at night made it difficult to sleep. The Wi-Fi was also slow and unreliable.
