Wonderful

The owner Ali drove us around and toured the city with us! The staff was vested in our well being and we became instant friends!
The place was modern, clean, had a great deck and common spaces. Manor resources for exploring Oman
I became friends with the driver they connected me with.
Free breakfast that includes eggs cooked as you like
Pro: Location excellent. Great beach view from the balcony. Host very friendly and eager to assist with various questions about the area. Breakfasts very nice, buffet style. One of us has Celiac and must be strictly gluten-free. They went the extra mile to accommodate this, getting gluten-free bread and advising which items were safe.
Homey feeling.
Con: our room 2 flights up, no lift. We needed the exercise, but our 70 yr old joints complained.
It is a very nice cosy place with just a few rooms (basically a twin villa converted into a small stay. Very tastefully decorated. Great location overlooking the beach and sea. But don't expect usual hotel facilities. The tea/coffee arrangement is in the dining area. No mini fridge in room.
This villa is a beautiful bed and breakfast on the beach. The photo's of beach chairs are from a rooftop deck; a lovely location to observe beach and socialize from. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this property to people deliberately avoiding a resort feel (Shangri-La, Hilton etc.), or to people prioritizing location. Given the choice between Lana Villa and any 5-star Hotel within Muscat proper, I would always pick Lana Villa.
*If you stay at Lana Villa, I also recommend a car rental.
We arrived at Muscat and was picked up by a very friendly driver that took us to LANA Villa. When you walk in the atmosphere is Calm and comfortable. It’s like walking into your home after a long days work. We were met by our hostess and she welcomed us and showed us to our room. We were on the top floor in a nice suite. The view was beautiful and across the way was a balcony that looked over the sea. Breathtaking. We Loved this place..
From breakfast on the shaded terrace to advice on trips inside Oman, Lana Villa is welcoming and the staff make you feel instantly 'at home'. The rooms are spacious and simple but comfortable. Oliver is always ready with trekking or restaurant suggestions and the staff are charming and helpful. Highly recommend making it your base for exploring the charms of Muscat and the unique hinterland. I can't wait to go back.

An ok stay
We had a fine stay at Lana villa- easy to find and check in. The rooms are clean. It has a hostel vibe- a communal table for breakfast and lots of people around if you wanted to chat.
We thought the value wasn’t amazing for what you got, compared to the other places we stayed in Muscat.
My late evening arrival was made easy by a driver arranged by the hotel who picked me up and checked me in smoothly. The staff educated me about the local taxi app that served me well each day as I needed to get to different parts of town. Breakfast was superb and healthy.
This is not only a beautiful villa with lovely sea view rooms, but also had an incredibly friendly and helpful manager. It surpassed all expectations and comes highly recommended
We had a lovely time at Lana villa & will highly recommend this gem in Muscat. Oliver the manager, Donna & Mary the domestic support people are very friendly & helpful. Breakfast was great, the location was brillant; just opposit the beach & very quite, there are nearby 3 tasty & cheap Pakistani restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance. Would definitely go back.

Was uns gefallen hat
Das gesamte Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Großes Lob. Z.B.: Im Zimmer war kein Fön und als ich danach fragte, hätte mir die nette Dame im Büro sogar ihren eigenen mitgebracht. Hat dann wohl im Hause doch noch einen gefunden. Der Tip für das Restaurant Turkish House war super. Ebenso für die das Laden der Google-maps-App. zum Navigieren.
Wir hatten das Zimmer mit Balkon und zum Meer und ist wie abgebildet.
Zum Frühstück gab´s auf Wunsch frisch zubereitete Eierspeisen, jedoch ohne Wurst.
Was uns nicht gefallen hat:
Die Schränke innen waren nicht sauber. Im Bad ist der Ventilator nach draußen voller Spinnweben und auch ziemlich verdreckt. Mit der neuen Badezimmertür wurde wohl schon der Anfang für eine Renovierung gemacht.
Gerne hätten wir ein paar Tipps für die Erkundung der Sehenswürdigkeiten bekommen, wie es in einigen Bewertungen zu lesen war. Jedoch haben wir den Besitzer erst am 3. Tag kennengelernt.
Schöne Unterkunft - perfekt zum Ankommen und zur Besichtigung von Muscat. Nicht weit weg vom Flughafen und trotzdem ruhig gelegen. Nette familiäre Atmosphäre, sehr freundliches Personal.
Fronte mare in zona silenziosa. A disposizione tutto il giorno acqua datteri frutta secca. Oliver al mattino era disponibile per ogni info. Camere spaziose bagno finestrato. Il bagno avrebbero bisogno di una rinfrescata ma comunque accettabile,
Gut gefallen hat uns das ungezwungene miteinander der Gäste sowie auch mit Oliver.
Man sitzt gemeinsam an einer langen Tafel ,
bedient sich am Frühstücksbüffet und kommt schnell mit den anderen Gästen ins Gespräch. Wer möchte kann auch im Freien frühstücken oder auf der Dachterasse- jeder wie er mag .
Leider ist die Lage der Villa doch recht abseits und einiges an Geld geht fürs Taxifahren drauf. Oliver hat für seine Gäste einen Ordner mit Infos, wo unter anderem auch 2 Taxiapps enthalten sind. Die sollte man sich unbedingt runterladen, da hier auch gleich der Fahrpreis angezeigt wird sobald man ein Taxi per App bestellt. Das ist sehr praktisch ( wir hatten Otaxi). Genial ist die Dachterasse wo man wunderbar den Tag ausklingen lassen kann.
Insgesamt ist das Haus für Kurz-bzw.Zwischenübernachtungen zu empfehlen.
