Aerotel Muscat - Airport Transit Hotel

Great property with comfortable rooms. They had all the necessities in the room including toothbrush and toothpaste, towels, clothing line, shampoo, and single use slippers. The staff were friendly as well and the breakfast was decent.

Easy access to gates, comfortable. We couldn’t benefit from the restaurant and other facilities because of time constraints.

The hotel was quick and easy to reach from the transit. First check-in: very quick, second check-in: very slow, as the group checked in first. We found the rooms to be sophisticated and everything worked well. The air conditioning was easy to adjust and quiet. The beds were good. There was free chilled drinking water in the hallway.

I was happy about the location and the service,

When faced with a 14 hour layover in Muscat I checked into options before we left Melbourne and found this hotel. When the business lounge options didn't work out as planned this became our choice and it worked well. The Aerotel Muscat Hotel is inside the airport and caters for people who are not leaving the airport and who only have carry on luggage. We approached the reception and found that booking online was cheaper but their advice on what options they had was invaluable. We chose to rent a room for 12 hours and take half board. We chose breakfast (6-10) and dinner (from 7pm to 11 pm). By 9am in Ramadan the hot buffet had nothing out but they made us an omelet and scrambled eggs on request with sausage pieces, baked beans and hash browns and there was so much we couldn't finish it. Sliced bread and toaster was available and self-serve juice, tea and coffee with slices of carrot and banana cake for desert. Dinner was from options of a set menu again cooked individually. It was a lot cheaper and a lot tastier than other airport offerings. There are also lounge areas or the airport if tired of your room. Our room was a garden view room though others may look over airplanes flying in and out. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and I was able to sleep well during the day. There was a cupboard with hanging space and you don't need much more luggage storage. We had a desk with comfortable chair if you needed to work and a couch as well as coffee and tea making and two free bottles of water but no mini-fridge. It had nice lamps and ceiling lights and good power and charging points. I liked the design of the bathroom which was a very modern circular design with the toilet on one side and the shower on the other with the sink basin in between. It had hot water, good water pressure, shampoo and shower gel supplied as well as shower cap and dental kit.
