The room was clean, cosy and had everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. Kitchen was also well equipped. The location is ideal, with restaurants and shops close by. Ahmed has been a wonderful host, he’s very responsive and quick to answer any questions, as well as help out. I would be happy to come back, if I had to!

    Our stay started with a warm and friendly welcome. The house is very nice. The room is modern, very clean, and decorated in country-specific style. Damaris and her husband are great hosts. They gave us very good recommendations for our tours in and outside of Muscat. One of the cities most popular beaches and a couple of very good restaurants / cafès is just some walking minutes away. We felt at home and very much enjoyed our stay at Arabian Nights!

    Really lovely staff, very friendly, accommodating and provided me with guidance through my stay. Really nice Thai food. Nice to see locals visiting the venue as well. The rooftop was nice too. But the main thing was the staff.

    A very modern Arabic hotel, which meant no alcohol here, but no problem for us. Had a junior suite which was nice and spacious. Hotel was easy to find with signage pointing the way once on road towards Al Mouj. Nicely located overlooking marina, in an area where many locals also live. We used the hotel restaurant for all our evening meals, with plenty of choice and well cooked, priced and presented and so looked no further. Breakfast also provided plenty of choice. Location enabled nice evening strolls (with the locals).

    Fantastic location. Pools seems to be quite new, two infinity pools with great view over the sea and Muscat beach and a most wonderful practically private beach with palm trees. Outstanding Restaurants and Bar which are obviously also frequented by plenty of locals. The room was spacious with great view and up to date bath room, the room it self could probably need some renovation in near future (everything working and clean, though). Hotel staff super helpful and always in great mood.
