As a guest of Oman Palm Hotel Suites, you'll find spa services, laundry facilities, and dry cleaning/laundry services. WiFi is free in public spaces. An airport shuttle (available 24 hours) is available for a fee. Oman Palm Hotel Suites also features express check-in, room service (during limited hours), and a hair salon. Self parking is free.
Not only the hotel is in a poor suburb of Mascate which you can bear with a car (35 min drive to mascate bay), the service is bad and they stole our money from the safe deposit box, so for the same price it is better to invest in a decent hotel. Also, the carpet is dirty, and they did not clean the room arguing that we should have asked for it. When we asked to clean even in the evening, their employee opened the safe box (all employees have the keys) and stole from us 150 euros. The manager was of course unavailable both in person and over phone. Don't go there, Holiday Inn is close, chic and safe, you can not say to any of your contacts that you are staying in this hotel so no point to do so
Rooms need real paint and clean job, carpet needs washing, kitchen equipment is garbage and rusty. Serious dust in many places.
Beds and pillows are comfortable and clean though.
Nice and good staff
The main problem with the Oman Palm Suites is that it doesn't have an address! So it isn't picked up on maps, which means a) it takes a very long time to find it and b) taxi drivers have never heard of it. The accommodation was clean, but very tired (broken patched up bathroom door, lamps with no bulbs, sockets that don't work). But it's relatively cheap for the area. No idea what the picture in the listing is.

Bring Your Own Breakfast
This was our second stay here. While the amount of space for a 2 bedroom apartment is so great for the price, this time our room had a weird smell, the bathrooms needed a really good cleaning, and there was ink drawings on the sofa. We also got the breakfast this time and it isn't great. You have a choice of three menu items and Nescafe (even though there is an amazing coffee/espresso/cappuccino machine sitting in the dining room.) It's still a good value but that room on the first floor needs some freshening up. Wifi only works in the bedrooms.
It's a bit tricky to find but worth it. The staff was amazing and friendly. The apartment was homey and comfortable, as well as very quiet. We relaxed with our friend then went to separate bedrooms with great bathrooms. We will definitely stay here again and really recommend it!
To travel anywhere from there was very hard. Hotel had no information pamphlet for tourists. Finding places was literally very hard unless you made arrangements. Very expensive taxi all different prices seems like all were out to grab as much money from you. Oman is beautiful but make sure you have hotel where everything is accessible.
We had one night there before leaving to jabal shams in the morning. The hotel was near the airport and was easy to find and the neighborhood is excellent for your early morning shipping.
If you ever need a fast stop in muscat that will be your hotel.

Nice local hotel in a suburb of Muscat
It was my first stay at the hotel and I must say that it was perhaps not the same as the big western hotel chains but compared to the price it was good value for the money. The hotel is located quite near the airport so it is an advantage. The air planes are flying over the hotel building so that can be a problem for people that want peace and quiet. The hotel is also located in an area where there is many small stores where one can do shopping from local shop owners.
The service is good, the room could have been cleaned a bit better.
