Naseem Hotel
Mutrah|0.59km from Watchtower
There is probably no better place to stay in Muscat than in Muttrah with the Souq, the Corniche, the Fish Market, the Fort and the excellent restaurant Bait al Luban, all in walking distance from the hotel Naseem, still the best choice around here. The people in charge of this two-star hotel must know about it and this is reflected in the price, which was considerable higher that in all the four-star hotels (also in other parts of Muscat), that I had been using on the same trip. Good about this hotel, besides the location, was the size of the room and the cleanliness. It had a big marble writing table, a very simple open wardrobe, tea and coffee making facilities with two small glasses, but no spoon. I especially missed bedlamps. AC and the shower worked well. It was quiet at night. In the bathroom there was no storage place whatsoever. The shower had no curtain, so the bathroom floor got all wet (most other rooms I saw had a curtain, but not room 209). There was no showergel, just some small bottles of shampoo and a liquid sopa by the washbasin, which again had no plug, just a big hole. There was no bathmat, no hairdryer and no glass for the toothbrush. The breakfast buffet in the Anna Café on the ground floor was quite good. I especially appreciated the American coffee. Breakfast is available from 7 to 10am.
