Wyndham Garden Muscat Al Khuwair

Breakfast was pretty good. Staff was friendly. The property was clean and conveniently located. Easy shopping near by, but you had to walk a bit for restaurant options. The good thing was that it was pretty central, so airport and Al Mauj to the left, only 10 minutes or so...and Qurrum, and all other attractions to the right, again 10-15 minutes or so.

It is a new hotel. The furniture and the beds are in very good condition. The room was pretty big, enough for our family of three adults. The double bed is very big and convenient. We enjoy an outdoor pool. It is not big but the water is warm enough for comfortable swimming. The special thanks to very good breakfasts and dinners. We enjoy eating very diverse and delicious food. The personell was eager to help us in all deals.

The location is okay. In Muscat you need a car to travel anyway. For local travel OTaxis is brilliant. For wider travel it is cheaper to hire a car. Fuel is so cheap compared to the UK. All depends on how comfortable you are driving in another country. The hotel does provide free basement car parking. Overall a nice place to stay. The breakfast was okayish, but could have been better. Not much different from day to day. Thanks to Tanze though, who was always making sure we were fine at breakfast. The hotel staff are welcoming and accommodating. The rooms are very clean and the whole place smells nice. I must mention Nader, Hameed (reception) and Ayman (concierge). Really enjoyed there advice on travelling and sightseeing in Oman. A special thanks to S.Manimaran (Engineer) and M D Hasan (Housekeeping). They were tremendous in sorting out my room keypad which became faulty at the critical time when I was leaving to catch my flight. Honestly I can't thank them enough. I hope the management at the hotel appreciate their hard work and commitment. I also want to thank Julie (front desk manager) for trying to make our stay a good one. We mostly ate out at meal times as we were travelling around discovering Muscat. There are a few malls all within a few minutes taxi ride away, where you can enjoy shopping and find something to eat. There are coffee shops and desert places scattered everywhere so pretty much good choice when you want something to eat or drink. Lulu supermarket is also handy, where you can find pretty much anything and everything. Overall the hotel is a nice place to stay if you want to travel around Muscat. If you want to go for a more relaxed stay then you may want to stay closer to the beach. Oman is a lovely and safe place with friendly people.

The staff was friendly Clean hotel Good location

Excellent location in Al-Khuwair - close to everything by taxi. If you're ordering an Otaxi (Uber equivalent in Muscat) via the app from this hotel, make sure you select a location nearby and not the hotel as Otaxi charges about 25 times more if you're staying at a nice hotel like this (e.g. a journey that should cost about 1.5 OR comes up as 25 OR). There are also plenty of taxis on the main road outside the hotel which can be flagged down (although would recommend if you're a solo female that you use Otaxi for safety). The room was spacious, clean, comfortable. Staff at reception were very nice and helpful, including ringing the airport to find out where my lost luggage was. There was an open air barbecue stall down the road which was delicious in the evenings to get dinner for less than 1 OR each. Also lots of restaurants and fast food places in the vicinity but due to the heat you can't really walk but a taxi will only take a few minutes. We liked the hotel so much that when we had to return to Muscat a day early from our travels around the rest of Oman, we chose to rebook this hotel and got a good rate through Booking.com even though we were booking on the day.
