Could have been better
First upon arrival tried to say reservation was for only one and wanted more money. This hotel has all the facilities for a very good hotel but the room maintenance left a lot to be desired- didn’t clean bathroom some days, soap was inadequate, tv difficult to operate, breakfast buffet left something to be desired- and Saran Wrap covered dishes instead of covered bowls. Coffee was only instant.

Disappointing conditions
Staying was regular. The cleanliness of the room was disappointing and the smell of cigarette was pretty much.

Not too far from the beach. Clean, comfortable, good selection of restaurants near by, as is the Avenues Mall of Oman. The pool area was often very quiet which meant it was nice and relaxing. The WiFi came and went in the room.

Great location and good overall
Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. WiFi need to improvements as we just couldn't get online in our room most of the time. Breakfast was nice and varied each day which was a nice surprise. The fitness 'centre' needs an upgrade, but useful for thr one time I used it and the pool is a nice touch, but as the beach is so close, you're better off going there. Location is excellent, 10 mins from the Grand Mosque, 15 mins from the Opera House, 30 mins from the port, and for other places of interest we didn't need more than half an hour planning time. Plenty of food choices locally and only a few mins away from Avenues and Muscat Grand Mall for additional food places.

Considering you need a car in Muscat, then the location is fine. Muscat is very spread out so it doesn't really matter where you stay. Has a convenience store right opposite which is very useful.

Great Stay
I recently returned from a most enjoyable stay at Al Maha.The room was large ,very comfortable bed,and the housekeeping staff kept it spotlessly clean. All the staff went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating.... and always with a smile. I have to make a special mention to the lovely Susan on reception!From the moment I arrived she was so helpful and no matter how busy she always had time to answer questions with her knowledge of the surrounding area ...thankyou Susan. I will definitely return to Al Maha......very soon I hope

Decent hotel
Good little hotel in centralish location of Muscat. Nice condition, especially for the price we paid. Pretty big room, free parking outside the hotel. Breakfast was pretty basic but had cereal, fruit and some cooked items, so plenty really, especially when it's hot outside. Only downside was the noise of the a/c unit. It was night above the bed and quite loud.

Trip to Muscat
The Al Maha International Hotel is nice small place to relax. It is located in a central Muscat. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, the breakfast is free but very lack-lustre and not that appetising. If they improve this, they have a nice little (cheap and cheerful) place. The swimming pool and the gym are good and the instructor there is very helpful. There are many inexpensive places to eat around this hotel. The main places being, The Indian restaurants, "Priyadarshini" (Opposite the hotel) and "Taste of India". If you fancy local cuisine, there are two Omani restaurants one is at the back of the hotel and the other is just 5 min. drive away. There is also an Iranian restaurant in the vicinity and Yemini restaurant (which is very good indeed) called Osna. All these restaurant offer tasty food at very inexpensive prices. The quantities of food served are huge and one struggles to finish the meal fully. If you are going that way, enjoy the cuisine.

Economical hotel reasonably close to airport.
Over-night in Muscat at the end of a two week stay in Oman. The hotel was reasonably close to the airport (15 minute by taxi). It is close to the Grand Mosque in a very suburban neighbourhood. Large room and bathroom with comfortable bed. Unfortunately the pool was out of action. Was looking forward to a dip as it was 40C. Breakfast was very average.

Short family trip
This hotel represents great value for money. The rooms are clean and comfortable, as are the beds, linen clean and good quality, super walk-in shower, noisy A/C. Cosy roof-top pool area. Breakfast extremely basic, no fresh juices, one choice of cereal and limited daily cooked choice - disappointing start to the day. Friendly, efficient staff, free car parking available.

Nice hotel in Al-Ghubrah district.
Stayed 2 nights and was very satisfied, no complaints. Large, clean rooms, huge bathrooms. Wi-Fi worked fairly well but was a little slow at times. Buffet breakfast was limited in choice but quite tasty. Pool was on the small side but fine for a dip.

Good hotel in the heart of muscat
The wifi was not good...The wifi was getting connected only at certain spots...even there the signal strength wasn't good...The breakfast was just ok.....not that great...had same items everyday and taste was just ok. ..But overall if these 2 facilities don't really matter the hotel was quite comfortable, decent,clean hotel...The hotel is close to grand mall of muscat, sultan qaboos street and easy to travel around in muscat.

Good value for money Hotel
This is a very clean value for money Hotel. The staff are available 24/7, and are always polite and extremely helpful. Although it doesn't have a bar,it is just a 10 minute walk to the 'local' which serves cans and spirits, and where you can have a game of pool. 5 minutes further up the road is the Grand Mall where you will find plenty of shops and places to eat.

It was the first time I saw Spagetti Bolognaise in Indian style with curry :-); noisy air condition in the room, weak satellite signal with only Arabic TV channels and the swimming pool could be revamped...
