Hotels near Mutrah Fort, Muscat

Easy to find, parking was super convenient, and the pool was beautiful. The included meals were excellent, and the room facilities were complete. The staff were warm and polite. Good value for money, highly recommended!

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.

Pros: The room was stylish and the kitchen was fully equipped. There's a supermarket about 100-200 meters to the right of the hotel entrance. It's also quite close to the Grand Mosque. Getting to the hotel from the airport by A1 bus was a bit tricky with Google Maps, as the walk from the stop was a little绕 (long/indirect). Cons: The room had a strong perfume scent, which, to a Chinese person, would definitely feel like the smell of poor-quality renovation materials (I recommend they stop spraying perfume). The shower water temperature was inconsistent – sometimes good, sometimes not hot at all. Also, the water pressure in the sink was very low.

In my opinion this hotel seems to be a 2* hotel rather than 4*.  We received a room with an AC not working. Nobody answered our calls and requests and I had to complain in person to change my room after several calls.  The breakfast is normal. You easily hear the conversations in the corridors and rooms next to you ! As my experience Waize navigators is wrong in addressing the hotel and you must be very careful when using your navigator. (Pin the location upon your arrival)

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 😉

Overall, the cleanliness seemed okay at first, but when I lifted the blanket and found a super long hair, I immediately felt the hygiene wasn't quite right, and it felt rather poor. It's supposed to be a four-star hotel, but the room didn't have a microwave or any cutlery. When I brought takeout back, I found there were no utensils available. The refrigerator was tiny, and because it wasn't cold enough, I bought orange juice to cool it down. The refrigerator was also broken; I had to call a repairman to adjust the temperature, but before that, water was leaking onto the floor. Since I stayed for four days, my clothes got wrinkled, and there was no iron to iron them. The bathroom design was terrible; water would always overflow after showering, making it easy to slip. There was no hairdryer either; I called the front desk to borrow one, and they kept trying to get it back quickly, which was strange 😂. However, the staff at the front desk were very friendly, kind, and helpful. It's very close to the airport, quiet at night, and very close to the beach, but my ocean view room had no view at all. Overall, I wasn't very satisfied, but I let it slide because the service was so good.

This was my first time visiting Muscat, and I chose this hotel after seeing so many positive reviews about it. Honestly, the hotel was wonderful — very clean, comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. What really stood out to me was the amazing fragrance throughout the hotel. The scent in the lobby and especially the corridors on the floors was absolutely beautiful and made the whole experience feel even more luxurious and pleasant. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back to this hotel again. Highly recommended!

Simply amazing! We loved every second of our stay at The Chedi! The staff was really, really friendly and attentive and we felt 100% welcome and seen. The architecture was stunning, the three different pools left us breathtaking and breakfast was outstanding as well. We would definitely return and can 100% recommend to stay here, relax and unwind :)

Nice hotel and clean throughout. Breakfast was excellent. Room layout exceptional. Didn't get much communication from the reception staff so can't comment. Location was good near Lulu supermarket and a shopping mall. Cleaners only left fresh linen only when requested and even then left very limited towels for the 3 of us.

It's alright. The room is large, but the facilities are quite old. There's a KFC nearby, a bus stop (direct to the airport), and a Chinese fast food restaurant. The breakfast is decent. If it's cheap, it's worth a visit.
