The location is good, 20 min walk to the market and the embankment, you can always take a taxi and go, a taxi is inexpensive. We had a car and free parking at the hotel. The staff is nice, friendly. The hotel has a restaurant and even a club, opposite a couple of cafes and a supermarket. The rooms are ordinary, everything is neat, the price was very cheap, breakfast was brought to the room.

The location is as close to the old city as you will find. I could walk to all of the sights and attractions in the old city. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant. My room 302, had perfect air conditioning. A very quiet hotel and the breakfast was superb. Everything was delicious...could not have been better. If you want to stay in the historical area of Muscat this spot is perfect. The price at Mutrah Hotel is in the lower range for Muscat but don't let that dissuade you...this spot is tops in value. Please say hello to Obit for me...night time desk clerk

There was not a thing I disliked about Mutrah Hotel.

I had low expectations given the hotel was very cost-effective vs others in Muscat so was pleasantly surprised when the room was comfy, the staff helpful and the location good as it was walkable to do the fort, corniche and souq. The food in the restaurant was surprisingly good for the price, and it was nice to be able to order alcohol if you wanted a drink.

The wifi in my room wasn't strong enough to work on my laptop, but I liked the room as it was quiet, so I didn't ask if I could try another room which might have had a better connection.

In terms of price, comfort and location, this is the best option in Muscat. All the main attractions, the embankment, restaurants, supermarkets, a colorful traditional market, and a bus station to the airport are within walking distance. Large and comfortable rooms, fast internet, sufficient breakfast.

This cannot be called a disadvantage, but there is a mosque nearby and the first morning prayer is at about 5 am. These prayers did not bother us; we slept peacefully with open windows. But if this is an inconvenience for you, then ask for a room on the street side, and not in the courtyard.

Last time I visited Muttrah hotel was over 10 years ago. I was happy to see the hotel is still doing well and still has the quaint elevator. The lobby is tastefully decorated with books and Omani artifacts. The rooms are simple and basic but clean. Breakfast was good considering the price we paid. Management allowed us to check out a little late, which was nice. Location is convenient to Muttrah Souq, Ruwi, and Old Muscat. I will be going back!

Kettle and coffee/tea making facilities would be nice.

I stayed here two nights on a 32 hour stopover in Muscat. This is the oldest hotel in Muscat. I arrived at about 2am and left at about 6.30am the next day. I slept in for breakfast on the first day and when I was leaving on the 2nd day at 6.30 the staff kindly (although I didn't ask for it) offered to make me an earlier breakfast in takeaway form which I thought was absolutely lovely and much appreciated because it was before the kitchen had even opened. The room was spacious and comfy with a big window and nice shower. Taxi to other areas was not expensive and easy to get on the street. I would definitely stay here again.

got the best hospitality because booked for Saturday night and until Sunday afternoon but unfortunately reached hotel at 11 am on Sunday morning so need rest because travel from Dubai to Muscat by bus when reached at hotel inform the same to receptionist madam, she is may be local i inform to her i traveling with my wife so both are full tired she suggest me i can give you the room until evening because i saw you are fully tired and your booking will finish until 2 pm so if you cancel the booking then you will not receive any refund amount (room is very clean and room interior also very good fell like home )

Its a wonderful place in Old Muscat. The price is on the higher side but if you are traveling in Muscat and want to be close to Old City then this is the best deal. The staff is nice, helpful and is always available.

Check in was very late but that is understandable.

Large, clean, comfortable room with ample windows. Ground level with gazebo looking on to village road, and parked cars yes, but also trees, and at the end rugged hills. About 30 minutes walk to both Corniche and Ruwi bus station. Supermarket opposite. Some restaurants about. Pleasant and helpful staff. Some traditional decor, but modern and large rooms. Attached restaurant and bar. Says established 1970's and feel is high end from that era. Other reviews had me worried about wifi. But I had no Internet problems. Which was important to me. Stable and fast. Maybe buffered once or twice. A nice base in Muscat old town. I'll be back.

No substantial problems to mention.

We were given a very large room, clean and comfortable. The location of the property is very convenient if you want to stay in Muttrah, it is located at about 10 minutes walking distance from the Souk, the Fish Market and from the Corniche. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a nice breakfast at the hotel bar/restaurant. Highly recommended hotel.
