Mandarin Oriental, Muscat

Beautiful interiors, everything thought through to minute details, very much enjoyed our stay

My recent stay at the Mandarin Oriental Muscat was overall enjoyable, with several notable highlights. The hotel’s location near the beachfront is fantastic, offering stunning views of Muscat and the surrounding mountains. The interiors are beautifully designed, featuring natural materials that create a luxurious and calming atmosphere. The rooms were ultra-comfortable, with excellent beds and top-quality linens that made for a great night’s sleep. I also appreciated the thoughtful in-room amenities, including good tea, a Nespresso machine, and water in glass bottles—a healthy and eco-friendly touch. The shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner provided were of great quality, and the dental kits were decent. However, I did notice that some toothpaste tubes weren’t fresh, as the paste had become solid and dry in a few sets. Additionally, the shaving kit was of the cheapest level, which didn’t align with the otherwise high standards of the hotel. Breakfast was good but not quite up to the level typically expected from Mandarin Oriental. There’s definitely room for improvement here, but I believe this is something the hotel will refine over time. The staff were polite and professional, which added to the overall positive experience. Considering the hotel is still new, I’d rate the overall experience, including the price/value ratio, as 3.5 out of 5. I’m confident that with time, the hotel will address these minor gaps and elevate the experience to match the impeccable standards the brand is known for.

Beautiful property in the heart of Muscat I have stayed there for 2 nights and have enjoyed it . Rooms are big , staff are friendly and service was good . Big thanks to concierge team for looking after my requests . Outlets are beautiful I have enjoyed my breakfast and staff were friendly and ready to help .

Oman has always been our absolute favourite and this time it had to be our stay at MO Muscat. Our short trip was definitely worth it. Starting from the warm welcome by Husam & Mazin. Lovely picturesque and spacious room. Afternoon tea 🫖 at the lobby was the highlight. Special mention to Shayantani & Sarah for their exemplary service . Concierge (Yasser) , Jakob who were always kind & Sultan for his great restaurant recommendations around the city & insights on Nizwa . The breakfast was nice too with the beautiful weather outdoors (thanks to Otman for his service).

Beautiful warm hotel! The room is out of this world, fitness and gym teacher (yoga and boot camp) state of the art and the staff couldn’t be nicer. Special shoutout to Sheryl, Humphrey, Mina and all the pool staff. We had a great stay thanks to you!!! The pool is the perfect temperature :)
