ibis Muscat

On a pris cet hotel car nous voulions etre proches de l'aeroport (avion à 4h30). Comme tous les Ibis. Chambre tres propre, bonne WIFI, bon service. Mention spécial au receptionniste tunisien Muhammad qui est TRES compétent et TRES gentil.

It’s almost good

Visa problems meant I had to cancel but there was a no cancellation of fees so I didn't go and had to forfeit the whole amount

i have hardly anything great to speak of this property. I had to book this hotel at the end of my 14 days trip as my pre scheduled return got deferred. I booked the hotel through hotels.com. I booked a standard room for myself. The check-in took a bit longer time as there were few more people was at the counter. Though acceptable. I got the room and entered. Frankly the size of the room can be described as a furnished servant quarter. I have never seen such a small hotel room and such a super compact bathroom. Secondly the wifi of the hotel. I saw some feedback that the hotel has a poor wifi, I assumed those could be exaggerated allegations. But after my stay of three days, I am absolutely convinced that the hotel offers a horrible connection. There was a flyer in the room to boast about the internet connectivity. They should be ashamed to place that in the rooms. I complained twice in the front desk, but the people were helpless. The complimentary wifi offered at the city bus was of better quality than that of the hotel. On my last night of the booking, I returned from work and found the room was not serviced. I called up the front desk to send me at least a bottle of water. Promised to be in 2 minutes. The wait continued for 45 minutes, followed by 3 phone calls to the front desk. I have seen the Ibis as a branded hotel in various part of the world. But the experience in Muscat was pathetic. There are better accommodations available in the surrounding area.

The standard IBIS hotel that you would find around the world. Good for a short business trip. The bed could do with a new mattress but nothing too bad. If you want quiet nights, choose the rooms away from the main road.
