Had 2 nights stay here and we were here to explore the Al Hajar mountains range and the nearby villages. To reach here one must be driving a 4WD vehicle and carry identification or will be stopped at the police check post at the base. This is a budget hotel but it doesn't compromise in cleanliness & other services they provide. Rooms are neat and reasonably spacious. The bathroom is clean and well equipped with all the basic needs. The staffs are friendly and helpful, they even have an Indian chef for those who enjoy Indian cuisine. There is even an open place for BBQ where we can cook for ourselves. The hotel is having a beautiful pool which resembles a shape of a guitar and is well maintained.
Il est indiqué à aucun endroit que le site n'est pas accessible sans un 4x4 !!!! Sans 4x4 vous risquez d'être bloqué au pied de la montagne et on vous demandera de paer 50 OMR pour faire l'aller / retour. Une arnaque !
L’hotel si trova a circa 1700 metri, per cui anche quando in pianura fa caldo, qui fa freschino. Ora, alle 20 del 17 novembre ci sono 13 gradi, per cui bisogna avere l’abbigliamento adeguato. Inoltre, per raggiungere l’hotel e il paese di Sayq é obbligatorio avere una 4WD. La strada é senza sbocco, l’ingresso a valle é uno solo é c’è un check point dove tutte le auto vengono controllate dalla polizia (anche le patenti). La strada é asfaltata e in condizioni perfette, non peggiore né più ripida di tante strade di montagna nostrane (a cui in molti casi dobbiamo aggiungere neve e ghiaccio) ma pare che in seguito ai tanti incidenti avvenuti in discesa per la rottura dei freni sia stata presa la decisione di limitare l’accesso alle 4WD. Le camere sono essenziali, fortunatamente dotate di aria condizionata che nella stagione fredda fa da riscaldamento. Colazione essenziale, c’é anche il ristorante, cucina indiana, attese lunghe, ma tutto buono e a prezzi onesti. Personale gentilissimo. Per l’estate l’hotel ha una piccola piscina. …
First of all: you need a 4WD to get to the hotel. You will be stopped by the police and have to leave you're 2WD at the police post and take a taxi to get to the hotel and for further exploration into the mountains. The Hotel was great with very friendly and helpfull staff. Nice room and bathroom. The resaurant was also very good and inexpencive. The included breakfast was basic but good enough for us to start the day with.
If you - like us - are looking to spend a couple of nights in the beautiful mountains at the back of Muscat without paying a fortune, this is the hotel for you. It’s brand new, as it just opened at the beginning of 2019, and the staff are super kind and helpful, they truly make you feel at home. Our rooms were simple, but very tidy and comfortable. No frills, but nice and a much cheaper alternative to the 5 stars resorts that you can find in the area. Definitely recommended.
