Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. WiFi need to improvements as we just couldn't get online in our room most of the time. Breakfast was nice and varied each day which was a nice surprise. The fitness 'centre' needs an upgrade, but useful for thr one time I used it and the pool is a nice touch, but as the beach is so close, you're better off going there.
Location is excellent, 10 mins from the Grand Mosque, 15 mins from the Opera House, 30 mins from the port, and for other places of interest we didn't need more than half an hour planning time.
Plenty of food choices locally and only a few mins away from Avenues and Muscat Grand Mall for additional food places.
