Sur Hotel

We stayed three nights in a room much bigger than we expected. While the bathroom and toilet combined was a little unusual, it all worked out very well. The bed was very comfortable and the wifi much faster than most places in Oman. We also liked the fact that it was only 100m to the bus stop for the Muscat run and was surrounded by restaurants in the centre of town. The staff were attentive and made us very welcome.

Do not judge the hotel by the appearance outside! The rooms are simple, basic but clean with a comfortable bed and a good shower (even though I do not like showers without glass). The air conditioning worked very well - Sur is very hot in September! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It was quiet for sleeping. The price is great and correct for the standard of hotel. The location was good and close to the attractions in Sur although you do need a car to get around. We did not try the breakfast.

The reception staff were very welcoming and chatty. The room was clean and comfortable, with air con and a fan which was appreciated. The location is okay, close to some shops and restaurants, 30 minutes walk to the lighthouse. Breakfast was good - especially the pancakes! Liked the rooftop area, they set up a washing line to dry clothes which was handy. Basic little gym up there too. We were able to extend our stay for an extra night without having to change rooms.

The room was very comfortable, spacious and modern and the staff were really helpful and friendly. We opted for an Arabic breakfast which exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and quantity (it included foul mudammas, labneh with honey, feta, olives, eggs, tea/coffee, khobez, hummus, jam). You can walk around the local shops surrounding the hotel and stock up on basics (water and snacks). There are several restaurants nearby (we had a late dinner a short walk away after the evening tour at the turtle reserve). We only stayed one night but I would definitely stay again.

Although ranked one star, the hotel is very clean, with very helpful staff, conveniently located close to suque and the beach. The breakfast was very good, very fresh with good coffee, fresh pressed orange juice , omlet, sausages, a small beef burger and vegetables. Hot tosts and jam. Everything yummy and plenty! Very good internet connection. Just a perfect place to explore Sur and its surroundings! The suque is just on the other side of the street but it is very quiet in the rooms.
