I had a wonderful experience at IntercityHotel Muscat. The property is modern, exceptionally clean, and located in a very convenient area. It offers fantastic value for money, and I highly recommend it to both business and leisure travelers.

I initially booked the hotel outside the airport as I plan to visit some interesting places in Muscat during 14 hrs transit. Due to heavy rain the previous day and I don't want to take a risk, I just stay at the hotel and rest. Very good location, near to the airport, near the eateries area, really nice staff, clean & comfortable room. Easy to catch ehailing/taxi to & from airport. Recommended!

The staff were friendly and polite. We needed to extend our stay, and they managed to find a solution even though there were almost no rooms available. The room was spacious and clean. It was quiet, and we slept wonderfully. The breakfast buffet was delicious. There's a kettle, fridge, and hairdryer in the room, and they provided an iron upon request. Hot water runs well. It's a 10-minute walk to Ruwi bus station, where you can catch buses to the Emirates, nearby cities, many city routes, and the A1 bus to the airport. There are shops and cafes nearby. There's also a good rooftop pool and a decent gym.

This offer cost me 17 dirhams due to a special promotion, which is a suitable price for this kind of option. Our room was on the 4th floor with a view of a narrow gap, so we considered it a viewless room. The bed was comfortable, and the blackout curtains allowed us to get a good night's sleep. The internet signal was excellent, suitable for watching videos and making calls. The room had several light sources. There are photos of the rooftop, which has a lounge area and a pool with cool water. The hotel has parking, which is convenient for travelers with cars and close to the airport. They offer breakfast, and there's a fitness center in the building, but we didn't use these services. The staff kindly allowed us a late check-out. The bathroom needs some minor renovation; the mirror light wasn't working, there were traces of rust, and the water pressure in the toilet was weak. These are not critical flaws and can be easily fixed.

I recently stayed at the Aero Hotel at Muscat Airport and was very impressed. For transit travelers, it's practically the perfect option. The hotel is located right in the airport, which makes transfers incredibly convenient – no need to travel anywhere, everything is just a few minutes' walk from the terminals. Muscat Airport itself is very comfortable and calm for transit flights. There are significantly fewer people and less hustle and bustle here than, for example, in major hubs in China or Dubai, so waiting for your next flight is much more pleasant. The Aero Hotel made a very good impression. The room was modern, clean, and tidy. Everything looks new and well-maintained. I got a room with a view of planes taking off and landing – it was interesting to watch the activity on the runway. Overall, I can say that this is an excellent option for resting during a layover. The hotel is comfortable, quiet, and very conveniently located. I can confidently recommend Aero Hotel to all transit passengers flying through Muscat.

The hotel's decor and facilities are outdated, which I could overlook, but the shower was severely leaking, and the sink in the vanity wouldn't drain properly, with visible debris in the drain. Of all the Ibis hotels I've stayed at, this one offers the worst value for money.

I chose this hotel based on its proximity to the airport. That's a plus. The word ”apartments” in the name also attracted me. In fact, this hotel has nothing to do with apartments. It's a regular hotel, not apartments at all! It's a complete scam! There are plenty of cafes nearby, and even at the hotel entrance, on the left side, there's a cafe where I went for breakfast. The room has air conditioning, mounted above the bed, which doesn't move. Because of this location, I got sick. The nearest beach is quite far away, and walking in the heat is uncomfortable; the only way to get there is by taxi.
