Location was good. There is little in the way of public transport beyond buses, so reliant upon feet and taxi - thus i don't think location much matters in Muscat as long as it is fairly central. 15-20 mins from airport via taxi - no need to leave 3-4 hrs. 2hrs is fine. Good room size with superb King Bed - pillows hit and miss but i rarely find any i like so maybe that's me. Fridge, kettle and usual amenities, facilities and accoutrements. Good shower bathroom additions. Safe was secure and sizable. Work space useful and plenty of storage and shelving with UK power outlets so no adapters required. Clean functional lifts, nice communal areas and sylish lobby. Staff friendly, polite and helpful.

Nothing. It was all perfectly fine and dandy. A bit like a smaller version of a midtown Sheraton.

The location, everything is close. Across the streets there are malls. The rooms were spatious and clean. Free parking in the garage. It has a rooftop bar and pool, also a spa.

Breakfast could have more variety. Pool closes at 8pm, which is very unfortunate since people are touring around during the day and at the evening you don't have the opportunity to relax at the pool. The temperature at night is high, so I would love to use the pool till 10pm for example.

All facilities in the hotel were amazing and especially the included breakfast. Also all housekeeping staff and bell people that I communicated with were extremely helpful and nice, made me feel like at home.

We ordered food for takeout and after storing it in the fridge for the night, we just wanted to warm it up in the morning. There's no microwave in the room so we called front desk to see if that can help us with warming it up somewhere, but they said it's not possible:/ This is not a huge deal, but I've been in other hotels with even less stars who go above and beyond for guests in that matter (so just a tip for the future maybe).

I had a great stay for 4 nights - it was the best hotel I’ve stayed in Oman so far! The best thing about this place is the level of customer service!! All staff are friendly, helpful and look pleased to be working there. I have been in many hotels and this has some of the best staff with the best manners / people skills. All were great but a Special mention to: - Bindu on reception - was always smiling and helpful, she knew I was going on a trip on my last day in Oman so delayed my checkout time. The hotel is lucky to have her. - Eimran on the pool terrace - was always interacting with guests and kept the pool area in order. Great guy. - Jishan and the guys in the lobby areas (sorry I forgot all the names!) - They were polite and helpful with luggage and had knowledge of the local area so I knew where to go when I wanted to watch the World Cup games or if I needed SIM cards/ shops etc. The property is in a convenient location with shops / restaurants / supermarkets / cafes all walking distance. It is also a short distance between avenue mall / grand mall and mall of Oman. My room was very comfortable and spacious. Cleaning was done everyday to a high standard and the bed was great, water is provided after ever clean and the TV has basic channels, I’d recommend getting more. Overall it was a great stay in a luxurious hotel for a decent price, no complaints at all and I will be booking again when I’m back in Oman. Thanks!

The +++ : we have been so spoiled, thank you !!! 1. EXCELLENT SERVICE : team always happy and available to help : special thanks to Marwa (you rock 😘), Samson, Omab, Komal and Rebicca (thanks Ladies!), and last but not least (as I forgot all the others, sorry …), Rahul and the team for the excellent housekeeping. Without you, we are dead 🙄. 2. Fantastic BREAKFAST with tonnes of options and very good diner offering good quality dishes (see videos). If not included, dinner is 12 OMR/pers. 3. The room : although the furniture is not that modern, the room (room 724 : we had 2 twin beds) is perfectly maintained and cleaned. Lots of space and I like to find the mirror (grossissant), le pèse-personnes that works, a small fridge, lights in the cupboard, a privacy device (see pictures) and a complete coffee/tea in-tray. Also bottles of water are daily provided. 4. Sports facilities : a big fitness room, an interior and exterior jacuzzis, a big sauna and hamam, and a big swimming pool. We also experienced the massages by the SPA salon at the ground floor. Thanks to Yasmine and her colleague for the excellent relaxing massage we paid 72 OMR for the basic massage (80 OMR -10% as hotel guests). 5. Location of the hotel : near by the Oman Avenue Mall and local shops and restaurants (very practical) and 10 mins driving from the biggest Mall of Oman.

The - points : - We cannot open the windows so to have fresh air, you need to put the AC on, on a regular basis. But we (my Mum and I) did not want to use the AC… - For the interior sauna, hamam and jacuzzi : most of the time, it was off (cold) presumably for energy saving. So before using them, make sure the responsible has put the machines on at least 30-45 minutes prior to use.

I had an amazing stay at the Royal Tulip Hotel! The location is ideal—convenient and close to everything you need, including a big mall and hypermarket where you can find everything. The hotel itself is spotless, with spacious rooms that make you feel right at home. The staff is incredibly friendly, and a special shout-out to Jahid, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect—he’s truly a gem! The pool and sauna are great for unwinding after a day of exploring. Everything about my stay was top-notch, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service.

I’ve been staying at this hotel for the past two years, and it has consistently provided excellent service. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially Mr. Hassan at reception, whose professionalism and kindness truly enhance the experience. The location is also fantastic, close to key attractions and amenities.

However, I’ve noticed that the prices have been increasing unseasonably over the years, which is disappointing. While the quality of service is great, I hope the management considers more stable and reasonable pricing for loyal guests. Overall, it’s still a good choice for a comfortable stay

Royal Tulip is a very popular place. You’ll find there’s always someone else going on the same tour as you and taxi drivers know exactly where it is. It’s great value and the staff are friendly and willing to help with anything. The buffet breakfast is a great spread. I particularly enjoyed the freshly made omelette. SPAR down the road and enough restaurants around.

My biggest gripe is the lack of shade around the pool. The whole top floor would be transformed with a few medium to large plants giving some shade/respite up there. Room was probably on the small side for supposed 4 star hotel. And the buffet breakfast, while extensive and fresh, hard to get value for money unless you eat four courses.

My stay at this hotel was incredible, I cannot recommend it enough! Thankfully, I was able to get an early check-in upon arrival. Later, I decided to extend my stay by two days, and the process was seamless, thanks to the friendly and considerate team. The staff's hospitality was unmatched, they were genuinely kind, attentive, and always ready to assist. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore and enjoy the surrounding area. Overall, this hotel exceeded all my expectations, combining exceptional service with a prime location as well as great facilities, I’ll definitely be returning in the future!

The internet was quite slow, which made staying connected a challenge at times. Additionally, the rooms lacked a smart TV, which would have been a nice option for entertainment. Other than that I can't really complain.

Location can't be beat. The hotel is walking distance to any number of restaurants and shopping. This was a big reason for me to book this hotel, and I was happy. Also the airport and the highways are very accessible. You probably need a car to explore Muscat and beyond as I did, and there is more than enough parking space underneath the hotel. Also the bed in my room was super comfy - probably among the top 5 I've slept in! If you want quality, while staying close to the residential areas and lively neighborhoods in Muscat, this is the top choice.

I found breakfast option so pricey I didn't take it. Anybody could drive into the parking garage. No passcode, no card, no one there to check you are actually staying here. That was a bit odd.
