The location is the best and worst thing about this hotel. Best because it is a beach front property. Worst because the main oil refinery is at doorstep, because of which there can be a perpetual odor of sulfur hanging in the air. The hotel admin actually warn you to not open the windows in your room because of this.

The pool was nice (especially for kids). The food was good in all restaurants. Bed was very comfortable, the room was clean. If you rent a car, the hotel is a very good choice for Muscat.

Needed to be more eating options for young families - too many pubs or restaurants that did not serve dinner until after 6pm.

Great staff and cleanliness. Good facilities - swimming pools, beach access, gym, cafes

We pretty much got very satisficed at this property. The pool is more of a family vibe. Like some children also around. if some people want absolute silence at the pool, that's not the case there, but you can mix it with the beach peacefulness in the morning or noon before it get's crowded in the evening. The pool design is not for a professional swim. It's simply for chilling in water and walking in it. So depends on your pool mood preferences; but as I explained, it can be combined with the beach experience just in front of the hotel and the hotel also has a some water sport activities to offer.

The room was wonderful. We loved the use of wood and art and architecture of this hotel inside the lobby, marvelous roof, and the room furniture. Gave a a mixed feeling of past and modern in terms of design senses. Beautiful lobby. Breakfast was overloaded with options. The reception were amazing and made it very easy and smooth for us. The hotel is just in front of beach. It was lovely we could open back gate with our key and visited the beach as well for some peaceful swim. The location of the hotel is also great. Just front of it is the opera, and like 2 min walk away is a little neighborhood front of sea with many cafes and restaurants to chill and get a wonderful glance of Muscat peaceful vibe. Hotel workers are wonderful and nice. Hotel got padel, tennis, gym, water activities, and a sport club. So you got some options to explore. and couple of restaurants inside the hotel.

Breakfast buffet and Club Lounge service and quality was great. The outdoor pool area was also really lovely for lounging around. Our rooms were good although we would have preferred to have kept our original booking of 1 King room and 1 room with 2 queen beds in stead of 2 King rooms. Our family had a fabulous stay nonetheless.

The staff were very friendly, helpful and polite at all times. Hats off to Austen Reid, InterContinental's Executive chef, not only did he pay personal attention to the guests, I also overheard him explaining to a guest how tries to ensure a stress free working environment for his team members. This is impressive, we tend to forget that while we are on vacation we have high demands and expectations, normally focused on the Restaurant / Kitchen team, reducing our stress levels by placing them onto others. Austen, my son says "Thank you for the chicken nuggets" we will be back again!!!!!!!!

The Intercontinental Muscat is an excellent hotel for a stay with kids. Our room on the 5th floor was very comfortable with a view on the beautiful opera house. Every day we received new bottles of water and the cleaning personnel was very friendly. There are many excellent restaurants in the hotel, including Mynah's Edge in the garden next to the swimming pool, They have very tasty dishes and non-alcoholic cocktails (it was Ramadan time when we were there). The breakfast is very good, with a large selection of bread, warm dishes, eggs served on the spot, many fruits, etc. The Executive Chef came to talk to us which we appreciated a lot. The hotel offers a direct access to the sea which our kids loved. Nearby there are also plenty of good restaurants. Overall we can fully recommend the InterContinental which was completely renovated inside and has a large inner court yard. Parking is free which is also an asset to this hotel.

We stayed (family of 4) at Intercontinental Muscat for 3 days. The room was big enough with two queen sized beds with nice view. We had the dinner and breakfast buffets at Musandam restaurant that had delicious starters, many options of main courses and a nice range of delicious desserts. All staffs at the restaurant was very polite and helpful , they secured us tables both days in no time though the restaurant was quite full during the Iftar hours. The pool was excellent , temperature controlled, kids loved to spent their most of the time in pool. The hotel has quick access to the nearby beach as well. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who need a peaceful stay and wants to enjoy wonderful delicacies.
