Boutique Hotels in Muscat

The grounds and building are beautiful and it feels like a real luxurious escape. However… the lack of outdoor seating for sunset was quite shocking. We watched people come to try and sit at the bar of the main restaurant (just one bar and restaurant for the whole hotel) and get told there was no space despite there being LOADS of space… just no furniture for people to sit? Seems strange to me. We also had a fruit plate in the room on the first day which we had not eaten, this was taken away by the cleaners and when we asked could we possibly have one back the member of staff said (in a very snotty tone) ‘you will be charged for an extra one’. I think this is quite shocking considering the price per night of the hotel… I ended up asking for a single banana and was told no, even though there was an untouched one on the fruit plate. I stay at ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi frequently and booked the Muscat equivalent hoping for the same seamless and impeccable service, which I did not get. A shame really!

Beautiful resort - the long pool especially is tremendous. Night time is very special with beautiful lighting and fires. The staff were exceptional - friendly, helpful and courteous.

The staff to the location was wonderful. Every single staff member was extremely helpful with all our requirements and extremely friendly. From reception to breakfast room staff. Hospitality was excellent. Location of the hotel was perfect, close to a shopping mall and to the highway. Booked a suite and very comfortable for a family of 4. Thank you Golden Tulip Muscat 🌷

Pros : Location is perfect. Lots of restaurants and supermarket nearby. Bed and pillow is very comfortable. Cons : Not enough towels provided, abit annoyed with that since they place only 1 towel in the room. We had to request many times only to be given 1 extra towel with an annoyed face by the house keeping. Toilet has a weird musky smell. Breakfast was plain. Overall, not the best hotel to stay with family.
