Booked via Expedia.com, accurate pricing on arrival with no hassle as my booking was confirmed and expected even without a phone call, without credit card payment.
Only 15 minutes from airport and another 15 minutes or so from down town muscat.
Taxi can be booked from airport at 22 USD (8 Riyals), back to airport is 16 USD (6 Riyals) approx., I liked the certainty even though it seemed expensive, but other factors make it worth it (Just how polite Omanis are, makes you want to pay them even more).
Low cost and very convenient as the room was so meticulously clean, which really is what matters, making is a budget hotel that is as clean as 5 stars.
Arrival at hotel, hand in passport to copy, sign, pay for first two days and given key to room, very quick.
Bathroom simple and clean, their shower water is very strong with both hot and cold water, and their shower has four switches that shoot water from four places (from top, and horizontally from three heights), have to get that in my home!
Room service is very fast, 5 minute response for room needs and 15-20 minute food orders.
Staff are very helpful and will go out of their way to help, I needed to call Dubai and reception offered me her phone to call back Dubai when I ran out of credit.
Cons: not much to complain about, yet they don't have a paid international call phone, which prompt you to either have enough credit or purchase a local mobile like from an external source, other than this I have no complaints.
