“Best budget option in Muscat”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We hesitated before staying at this cheap, but obviously flawed hotel. The other reviews here accurately reflect that the Naseem is certainly not the nicest hotel in Muscat, but it is clean(ish), cheap, and in a great location.

I had a lot of trouble deciding on where to stay in Muscat. The luxury hotels were not possible for my price range, and the mid-range hotels looked ok, but they weren't cheap and seemed to lack character. When I got to Muscat, I was very glad that I went to the Naseem instead of other hotels like the Tulip Inn or the City Suites. These hotels are located in a part of town with very little of interest for the cultural tourist. The Naseem, on the other hand, is located right in the center of the old town, on the corniche. It's a minute or two from the souqs and the fish market, and there are tons of restaurants that are reasonably priced very close. If you want Starbucks and TGI Fridays, stay somewhere else, if you want Omani culture, stay here.

As for the rooms, they were ok. We had a decent view of the medina. The sheets seemed clean enough. The Tv did not work, but the bathroom had hot water and we were relatively comfortable.

“What a find, you want to stay here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

Rooms were very clean and I had a gorgeous view of the harbour from my room. Breakfast was OK, but for the price you pay there is no reason to complain. It is so centrally located, I was sorry to have left after only two days in Muscat. This is where I will stay if I ever come back. Make sure you ask for a room with a view, I did and they gave me the best room in the house (fourth floor).

“Loved the Place, except...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

I quite like this place, the location is so accessible it is in the heart of Mutrah and just within minutes walk to the Mutrah Souq and just behind the Bait Al-Baranda and the Corniche.

Rate was pretty reasonable as well, the manager gave me a good impression. I arrived in Oman and only booked this hotel on the 1st night not knowing how to plan the remaining of the itinerary. I had a simple conversation with the manager, he asked me to let him know what plans I had and he helped me to propose the route and the sights I wanted to see based on the number of days I wanted to stay in Oman. Kudos to that!

Breakfast was good as well, I let the pictures do the justification.

One issue I had was something strange that happened the next day I woke up. I got up to find my backpack and my slingbag wet. I left them on the ground and the carpet was dry! I dug out all my clothes in my backpack and found them dry luckily (as my backpack was waterproof) but everything inside my slingbag was in a mess. My Lonely Planet was soaked and the cover and the pages sort of disintegrated.

“From Naseem to the Souk, just 1 minute!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Good location, close to the souk and the harbour with a view on the sultane's boat.
Breakfast is very basic: some orangejuice from a tin, eggs as like you like them (but for a reason I do not know, these egg's do not have a lot of taste), coffee/tea. I wonder if a local breakfast would be much better. The rooms are clean and the staff is ok. I you leave the hotel and turn left (along the sea), you can find a nice restaurant.

“Not available online ...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The advantage of this place is that it isn't available to book on any website so it may be available when other hotels are fully booked.

Whilst the beds are firm and comfortable, and shower strong (no shower curtain for some bizarre reason), the rooms aren't the cleanest ever, and the aircon really is very noisy. There was a fridge in every room. The single rooms seemed to be bigger than the twin rooms.

The tv in my room didn't work very well, and there was hardly any choice of western satellite channels. Wifi does not seem to have reached this hotel.

Breakfast was as simple and basic as possible, but at an appropriate price.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with space to swing a cat.
