Hotels near Qurm City Centre, Muscat

Very nice stay overall. The room was super nice and fully up to Mövenpick’s premium standard. The staff were also extremely friendly, and they were very flexible — they even offered breakfast, which I really appreciated. I spent my Christmas Eve there, and they had an event by the swimming pool. It was a bit pricey, but you could see they put a lot of effort into it, and higher prices are expected in a premium hotel. The location is very good, close to the main attractions and also near the airport by taxi. The hotel has a nice swimming pool and a jacuzzi, and the view from the pool area is quite open with a beautiful mountain backdrop. There are also several restaurant options on-site, which is convenient. Overall, it was a solid and enjoyable stay, and I definitely recommend it.

Very nice place to stay in, located in the center of Muscat and 20 minutes by car from the airport. We stayed in an executive suite, which is more than 70m2, with terrace. It was great. You have also a swimming pool on the last floor where you can swim and enjoy the view of Muscat

My stay at IntercityHotel Bawshar was truly wonderful — it felt like a little home away from home. The location couldn’t have been better, with so many major tourist spots just minutes away, making exploring the area easy and stress-free. What really stood out to me was the warmth and kindness of the staff. From the moment I stepped in, the reception team greeted me with genuine smiles, the security staff made me feel safe, and the housekeeping quietly took care of everything so my room was always spotless. Dining at the Gourmet House was a real highlight — the food was fresh and delicious, and the restaurant staff always made me feel welcome, like I was a valued guest rather than just a customer. After long days of sightseeing, unwinding by the clean, refreshing pool or hitting the gym felt like the perfect way to recharge. Overall, my time at IntercityHotel Bawshar was both relaxing and enjoyable. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly place to stay with great amenities and a warm atmosphere.

Great hotel by the beach. Nice and clean, great staff with good breakfast.

I normally don’t like to review hotels, especially not with negative comments. This hotel is small, clean, hygienic, and the staff are friendly. But there is one extremely bad issue: the noise environment. At 1 a.m., the restaurant downstairs is still playing loud music. It feels like staying right above a nightclub, and the “nightclub” not only has no soundproofing, but is completely open-air. I couldn’t sleep well for three nights, which seriously affected my travels the next day. The hotel is clearly aware of this environment. They should ask guests before check-in whether they can accept this noise, and arrange quieter rooms for those who cannot. The problem is that the hotel is small and built around the restaurants, all of which are open-air, and one of them is extremely loud. I have never seen a hotel like this — even ordinary hotels wouldn’t allow this. I really don’t understand how any hotel inspector could have approved it. Another issue: there is no dedicated pathway from the rooms to the swimming area. Guests wearing swimsuits or bathrobes must pass through the lobby, reception, and café, which is very inconvenient and not appropriate. Another problem: if you are self-driving, you need to detour several kilometers just to drive into the hotel. The most frustrating part is still the restaurant noise. I tolerated it for three nights because: • On the first night, I thought it might be a wedding or a special event, so I used earplugs. • On the second night, I realized it was actually the restaurant’s music. I contacted Ctrip — their support team was excellent and responded quickly. The hotel offered to change my room, but I was too tired to pack my things. • On the third night, I had to visit the cliff early in the morning, but poor sleep delayed my departure. Coming back, I was exhausted again. After three nights of not sleeping well, I was completely worn out. When I returned from the desert, I just wanted a nice hotel to rest, but the experience turned out to be the opposite. To be clear, the hotel staff and the Ctrip team were both very good. The final bill at checkout was also incorrect, though I believe the front desk staff didn’t do it intentionally. Because I hadn’t slept well, I woke up late and had to rush to wash the car and return it. While waiting at the car wash, I finally checked my mobile banking and realized I had been overcharged. Two dinners and two coffees totaled 245.8 OMR. But the charges were: • At check-in: £390.57 • At checkout: £1,045.52 • Total: £1,436.09 In reality, it should have been around £476.62 when converted. The bill was very simple and not complicated at all.

Great service and location. Peaceful place along the beach. Food is great and have tasty drinks. Perfect place for vacation. There are some good restaurants nearby, which could make you feel like you’re at home.

Nice hotel. Modern design. Cleanliness is exceptional good. Staff are helpful and services are excellent. Close to airport. Very good for catching flight on the other day. Highly recommended.

That was a perfect place to stay. Thanks for the very kind staff including Ridha and Nasser. I extended my stay here two more weeks and Mr Nasser offered me a great package price. Everything here was nice and the breakfast buffet was amazing. A big mall could be reached through the underground hotel. I am lucky to have selected this hotel for my first visit to the wonderful Oman 🇴🇲. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

The Chedi brand never fails to disappoint. And the Muscat experience does it so much justice. And more. The usual “black pool” (2 of them actually), a gym like really really no other. And… the service. All the way up there. There should be more Chedi in the world! Special to Marebel and Anton who made our breakfast just perfect

It’s reasonably priced, and I have no particular complaints.
