Three of us spent 3 nights here on the way to Abu Dhabi. We'd booked a standard room, but as there were three of us stating they suggested a Family room, which (although a little more expensive) turned out to be a great recommendation! The room was on the ground floor with the back of the room opening onto the... More

Went here for a meal with our friends from Muscat, scenery beautiful and our meal was too. Staff pleasant and courteous hotel modern and clean, we did not stay here but on entering the hotel wish we had. We had a good time would definately go back again. Lovely view of the pool area , and Muscat in the evening,... More

I stayed here for 4 nights in January. The pool area and view of the sea are excellent if you have time to relax on your trip. The food is generally good at the buffet, pool bar, and Italian restaurant. I'd especially recommend the Persian restaurant where I ate twice. The room I stayed in was dated and in need... More

I suspect that one day this venerable hotel will get bull-dozed, given its age and outstanding location, but in the meantime enjoy this value for money option - a relative term given grossly over priced hotels in Muscat. IHG have improved the rooms; they are fully functional if somewhat characterless. None of the selection of restaurants and bars stand out... More

Wanted to stay somewhere not too expensive for a night before catching an early flight out of Muscat - thought I would check the prices on offer online and was surprised to find some reasonable offers available last minute - booked a standard room - and had a look at it before we decided to stay. The hotel appears to... More

I had a pleasant and enjoyable stay at this hotel. The friendliness of the front office staff , location of the hotel, clean rooms and good restaurants made that possible.The view of the coastline from the room was an added attraction. The restaurant Tropicana's buffet lunch was delightful. More

Crowne Plaza Muscat chose itself for my recent trip to Muscat. It was already one of the cheapest options in a city of far overpriced hotels, and also offers a 2-for-1 voucher through the Entertainer Travel book (hint: if you live in the Gulf and have access to the Entertainer series, this one coupon will more than make up the...

My wife and i spent some time on researching hotels to stay at in Muscat: go all out luxury or value for money, with a private beach, without. With a pool and what about a gym? We ended up choosing the Crowne Plaza and never regretted. The hotel offers both a pool and a private beach, has a great gym... More

The highlight of the Crowne Plaza is definitely the view. From atop a cliff it looks along one of Muscat's main beaches. Lovely views at sunset, and a great view of the new Opera House. The view means asking for a seaview room make sense. It's a nice hotel, although very much in the upmarket chain mode so don't expect... More
