Samara Hotel

A clean, quiet simple hotel in a modern, residential area. Very convenient for airport (taxi 4 rials) in a lively area with restaurants and cafés within easy walking distance from hotel. Traffic can be heavy into Muttrah or Muscat at certain times of the day and for some the hotel is not so easy to find. A hotel which is good value for the money you pay.

very clean, cheap and very well located. Strongly recommend.

It was a nice hotel to stay, easy access to every place, Good Masjid is near by. Close to Petrol Station, Lu Lu, Muscat Grand Mall and ......... Very secured place to stay.

Mr. Hassan was great in making my stay comfortable.

This hotel may be a long shot from the ritz but if you are looking for a cheap deal this is the place. It was less than 1/2 price on this site at just 20 omr. The staff were very nice, so despite not being a glamourous hotel it was perfect.

Excellen value for money. Centrally located. Negotiate with taxi's before getting in!!!

We found it extremely hard to find the hotel but then again, it was our first trip to Muscat. The hotel's map is clear and easy to follow and the hotel is located near the sights and a main roadway. The staff were friendly and provided us with a map as well as timings of some of the local monuments. I found the support staff (i.e. maintenance and housecleaning) to be very friendly, Re our room, we had a suite with not so great views; we were hopeful that we'd have a view of the stunning mosque across the street. It seemed that there just weren't enough towels for a family of four--and the shampoo/conditioner seemed to be just barely enough. Anyhow, they were of good quality as my daughter's hair came out silky and smooth. I'm not sure if I would recommend it to others as although it was satisfactory for one night, I still feel I could have gotten more for less.

The hotel is a decent choice for the price. However, breakfast was not included even though the booking details did mention it. The rooms are clean and room service is good and fairly inexpensive. The location is not central if you want to visit the main business district or the souqs (traditional market). The fact that taxis are not metered in Muscat and you need to bargain, going back and forth can become expensive.

Tends to get a bit noisy at the weekend. Some guests leave their door open and for some odd reason turn the volume way up on their televisions.

I made a reservation for four adults but room which resreved was only one double bed room. So I was nonplussed with this situation. I recommend to Hotels.com to review ans show us how many guests to stay in the room. Anyway I feel like good condition to sleep.
