“Al Falaj Hotel Ruwi, Oman - January 2012”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

I stayed in the Al Falaj Hotel from 14 Jan to 28 Jan. Thehotel located in Ruwi, a convenient location with only a few minutes drive to Muscat and near the commercial banking center. Not sure when the hotel was built, but it has been well maintained. The rooms were basic, but clean and the location is fairly quiet. I stayed on the fouth floor and the room I had was equipped with a mini-bar and a flat screen tv. There was internet connectivity, but it was expensive and laboriously slow! There was free bottled water in the room along with a coffee maker and an ironing board, but no iron (had to ask for 1 to be brought to the room). The staff was helpful, courteous and friendly.
The food in the Souk restaurant was good, everything was fresh, with plentiful fresh vegatables and fruit. The morning buffet was well served and the staff was attentive.
There are 2 pools that looked inviting, I didn't have time to jump in... I did use the fitness center, it has a good selection of machines and stations to serve the hotel. I did not have to wait to use a piece of equipment.
It seems that the location is popular with tour operators, there were numerous groups in the hotel, but it did not negatively the hotel service.

Room Tip: Upper floors are desirable

“Pleasant Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We stayed her just one night before our desert adventure, the bathroom room and room was clean. The only problem I found was that it was noisy at night. It's a nice place to stay lovely pools, restaurant meals are fine and breakfast is good. Well maintained.

“Yes..Stay Again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

Comfort stay, Room was good.

The view was distracted by uncompleted portion...other than that it was good.
The Noise from the Pub close by bothers you but if you could get a room overseeing the road side then this could be avoided.

Request your airport drop early but not early as 2 days prior but 24 Hrs is good enough. Make sure you get a confirmation.

Breakfast (I was on B/B) was good.

Room bed sheets were not changed. for my entire stay..?

But the staff were helpful. Knowledgeable
Worth the price. Yes will stay again

Closer to Matura ( Old Suk - 0.2 OMR Shared taxi) - do not miss it even you do not by
Lulu Supermarket is close by (0.1 OMR - Shared taxi)

Room Tip: stay on the road side

“Good for a short visit”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

We- a family with two kids 7 & 14, stayed at the hotel for just one night. Rooms -small but comfortable, just enough place for the extra bed.Bathrooms a bit old but reasonably clean. One of our children slept in another room with a family friend. Breakfast buffet was nice. Reception was helpful to locate a restaurant closeby for dinner. Quiet neighbourhood.
And for those interested a two minute walk to the churches and a temple.

“Pleasant surprise in Price and value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

A really good find. Value for money in Muscat where most hotels are rediculously expensive. Clean, modern rooms with a decent selection of restaurants, proper gym for lifting weights (not posing or running) and a large pool for doing laps. Ok you would not stay here for recreation but if you are here on business and your client is not paying for your room I recommend this place. I was paying 45 rials per night (corporate rate)
