The staff were most helpful. The food in the dining room was very good. We were happy it was open since most things were shut down due to the death of Sultan Qaboos. The hotel is older, but the beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. We liked our mountain view and the call to prayer from the nearby mosque

Having stayed in many of the big expensive hotels in Muscat in the past.
I had no expectations when booking the much cheaper Mutrah Hotel. However ,I was most pleasantly suprised and impressed by the good quality for money at Mutrah Hotel. It has a certain degree of excellence and kindness..Your wish is their command and do it straight away.

Customer service and location were great. Buffet food was good. Gazebo restaurant curry and chapatti were superb. Hotel was old in décor and fixtures. This is fine if bright and clean. Alas, the hotel was dark and dingy.

I enjoyed Mutrah Hotel. It’s conviently located by Mutrah Souq and Mutrah Corniche, staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was very comfortable, the room had everything I needed and was clean. I don’t really need a 5 star hotel, and this hotel provided exactly what I needed. Keep up the good work, Mutrah hotel staff!

Thé hotel is ok . I arrived early around 11 am and they checked me in although check in time is 3 pm.
Staff were very kind and helpful . Location is ok . It is near to fish market , sultan palace , Mutrah market and kornich around 5 minutes with car.
There is a supermarket sbaro in the other side of the street . Also excellent fish and seafood in front of the hotel and its prices are excellent .
Tried the break fast is was normal , if you have other option for breakfast better to take it other than that it is acceptable. No much varity but you will find all the basics .
The hotel is a bit old but clean and mantauned. The water pressure in the shower was excellent although I was in 4 th floor.
It is not 5 star hotel , but it worth more than you paid.

Nice place to be in Oman. Really easy to be reached and with good conditions afterall. I haven't tried the breakfast, we had a Spar almost in front of the hotel. There are good places to eat in the lhotel area, a safe area. Nice parking, close to the main attractions, but only the wifi is a con. The space in the room is good and it's not noisy at all. I'd come back one day. It's a convenient place to stay when in Muscayt.

Great reasonably priced hotel in Mutrah
If you are looking for accommodations at a reasonable price in Mutrah then this is a good option. The hotel is older so don’t expect the latest designer decor but it is clean and comfortable. Easy 20 minute walk to the Mutrah Souq & Corniche. I walked to the giant Incense Burner monument but it was pretty far. Ok to do on a nice cool day though. A Spur convenience store across the street with fresh fruit, food, refreshments, toiletries, etc. A nice bakery and a few small restaurants across the street as well. Bernard is an amazing hotel manager and will do anything to make your stay more comfy...just ask! From setting up tours to getting a taxi to the airport he will help. Rest of hotel staff provided service with a smile and were super nice as well. Gave 4 stars due to WiFi being slow or spotty as other reviewers mentioned. Works well in the lobby but in the rooms service is spotty. Ok for email and general surfing but not fast enough to stream movies. 10-12 OMR for the metered taxi from the airport. I would stay here again

Overall good value
Stayed for a total of 5 nights but not all consecutive or in the same room. Overall very good hotel. The breakfast was good but same thing everyday. Beds were comfy. I had one room where I think the fridge and the a/c were in the process of dying (room 27, I don't recommend it) but all the others were just fine. I highly recommend staying in the older portion if you can, it just feels more authentic. As a solo traveller rooms 201 and 401 were nice and quite and comfy. Fridge was handy. I missed having a pool but the great location in Mutrah made up for it most days.

Chose this hotel as it was central to where I wanted to be in my short 4 day visit. Check in was straight forward, desk & floor staff very helpful. Room was clean & nicely presented. Restaurant food is good value. I would stay again as I intend visiting Oman in the future.

This is a budget hotel, very quaint & old fashioned, which offers basic accommodation & a limited restaurant fare. Overall, it has extremely positive reviews.
If one wants to take a tour to the ancient Hill Forts it is expensive through the hotel (most hotels cater to groups rather than singles) so it's possible to negotiate a taxi for this trip on the Corniche, which is much cheaper.

A bit of a trek each day to the corniche
Staff were polite, but not particularly helpful. As a solo traveller it would have been handy to be grouped with other guests in order to access places of interest instead of having to hire a private taxi at enormous expense. Also, hotel facilities were not made evident. It took me three days to realise there was a bar
