We are a family of 6 and spent 3 nights at the Crowne Plaza in Muscat on a short break from Dubai. We thought it was one of the best hotels we had stayed in in the last few years. It's well located for exploring Muscat and the northern part of Oman, the staff are attentive and friendly and the... More

I stayed for a week on business, my arrival felt like I was in a travelodge and the staff really did not look like they wanted to be there. Then I went ot my room which was clean but very dated and smelt quite bad. I was woken on the first day at 5am by someone sawing a building in... More

I have just spent 3 days at the Crowne Plaza in Muscat and have had a great time despite the heat ! The room wasn't huge, but was clean and serviced daily. The hotel had a choice of restaurants, gym, spa, pool and is by the beach. We ate mostly at Duke's bar and no problems. We did have an... More

I see some negative comments about the rooms but mine was awesome. Balcony room which I assume was refurbished was great, clean comfortable bed, flat screen with many channels to watch in english. The service was 5 star, I was never told no to any request. The managers were great along with the front desk personnel. There was a young... More

I am a resident in Muscat and until recently, regularly used the Dukes Bar at the Crown Plaza. From 2009 to 2010 the food was of a consistently high standard but during 2011 there seemed to be some kind of problem. On three separate occasions food arrived up to an hour after ordering and often some of the dishes were... More

What a week end, myself and wife went there for our wedding anniversary and could not have wished for a better time or experience. I used to stay at this hotel when I worked in the middle east and always promised I would return for a leisure visit. The hotel is 5 star in my opinion, we loved the sea... More

I've stayed at the Crowne Plaza on many occsions over the past 6 years. Unfortunately, my stay last week will be my last for some time. The hotel is in need of a refurbishment and the catering in all the outlets could only be described as "bland" ...at best?. "The Edge" - once a landmark restaurant in a perfect location... More

The service was excellent as waiters danced attendance on us. It was our 27th wedding anniversary and they were really niee to us. We ate at Shiraz the Persian restaurant and the food was scrumptious, as the succulant flavour of the meat was absolutely divine. We sat on the balcony overlooking the beach and the sea with twinking lights of... More

Hotel standards are generally very high in the Gulf. Even Oman, without the abundant oil wealth of its neighbours, boasts quite a few good hotels with high standards. The Crowne Plaza in Muscat is truly an exception in that sense. Stayed there for only one night (thankfully) on business this month. The size of the room I was given was... More
