The Royal Tulip Muscat hotel garners high marks for its impeccable cleanliness, with guests consistently commending the spotless rooms and facilities. Nestled in a central location, the hotel is a hit among travelers looking to explore local shopping and attractions. The spacious and well-appointed rooms receive accolades for comfort and modern amenities, further enhanced by the praised room service.
Amenities like the well-equipped gym and rooftop pool add to the relaxing experience, complemented by a varied breakfast buffet. Guests speak highly of the tranquil atmosphere and sophisticated design, while the friendly staff and excellent service, especially from the breakfast team, enhance the stay. However, some visitors note the higher price point of certain amenities and breakfast options, even as many acknowledge the overall good value of the hotel.

Royal Tulip exceeds our expectation! It is a 4 star hotel but the quality of service we received and facilities are of a 5 star. First, the modern room is well furnished and got everything that we need, wide comfortable bed, good working fridge, daily coffee/tea amenities including water as well as complete toiletress. They provide daily room cleaning service though we had to refuse sometimes as we didn't really need it daily. Secondly, the gym in 9th floor which is spotless clean and obviously all new equipments is facing the city and ocean view as well as roof top swimming pool are just beyond words. And oh the Sauna, Steam, and Jacuzzi are a must try in the hotel! It is all modern and clean. Also, there is available staff monitoring everything. Third, breakfast buffet served in the Wave restaurant was a big variety. They have choices of Arabic, Indian, Continental dishes and the fruits are always fresh. Fourth, the hotel is well located and sorrounded by everything name it small shops to biggest malls of Muscat, hospitals, cafes and restaurants from wherever continent you are from. Bus stops and taxi stands are available just few steps away which makes the stay very convenient. On top of that, the staff are all nice and friendly. The housekeeping boys were very polite. Specially the staff from the restaurant Ms. Rose, Ms. Dona, Ms. Rabika and Chef grace were all nice and the waiters are observant( I forgot the names). Thanks also to the restaurant manager who was always checking on us if we need anything. Will definitely recommend the hotel to everyone!

It was one of the best hotels i have ever stayed with about 300 rooms in 9 floors, a rooftop pool ( well-kept by Mr. Emran and dear Amandeep)and a well-equipped gym open from 6 a.m. The room was spacious, facilitated properly with ready to help staff in case you needed anything. The breakfast was more than good with variety of fruit, bread, drinks, cold and warm, different cooked dishes, various dressings and Omani dates, and nuts. There is a cafe in the hotel lounge in which you can order whatever you like and the price is not that much different from cafes in the city. We ordered Omani coffee and dear Jacob(the barista) made it professionally. It is located in Alghubrah which is near to Grand Mosque, but generally for transportation, it is better to rent a car which starts from 7 omani rials a day. besides you can download Otaxi application , an internet taxi which is more affordable and cheaper than taxis around the city. i would definitely come back to Royal Tulip Muscat in case i travel to Muscat again due to its extremely helpful and smiling staffs and the generous attitude of the hotel owner.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Staying for 5 days in this jewel located in Al Ghubra sure made the lockdown worth investing in and i have to say, the price ain't bad at all for I've been offered more than i expected. The 360 view of the city with its soul warming sunset at 6pm, you're bound for an amazing stay with these fine people. Loved the fact that they've managed to possibly hire the best people for the job of treating their guests statting with @Mr. Imran who seems to be the star player of the floors on top, not only does he cater to all your requests but he made sure to light up everyone's mood with his outstanding personality. @Ms. Giyatri of the Wave restaurant sure made our dining experience is worth coming back for, the lovely lady wasn't kidding when she said "if you need anything, just let me know" i have to give credit to the kitchen team for serving an amazing Chicken Qabooli tho, best I ever had so far and I've been staying in the country for 15 years. To @Mr. Sherpa from room service the fine man made sure your requests were delivered to your doors within minutes and served you with utmost professionalism althroughout the stay.
Thank you so much for the hospitality you've offered everyone and if i may add just a bit more to this, as a bacon lover I'd like to have more than just beef on some days maybe Turkey could be added. 😅😂

The hotel was great! It is newly opened so expect that the facilities and amenities are fresh. The hotel is located in the middle of Muscat near 2 major malls and alot of restaurants. We stayed in the 9th floor and as expected it was quiet, the gym was a few steps from our room and the swimming pool was just a floor above us. Perfect for staycation. The hotel staff were helpful and kind. Shout out to the pool guy Imran, he attended to our needs atbthe rooftop, even used his key card at the elevator even if we had one I would definitely recommend this hotel without a doubt.
PS Just the slightest issue, dont use the phone to call outside or even have a call be connected. There would be charges, that was the issue, since when i had a call connected to a fastfood nearby, they forgot to inform me that there is a charge. Anyway, it was sorted out.

I have been staying at this hotel for nearly a week and in that time have got to know some of the staff who have an excellent attitude and are really pleasant to deal with. They always provide service with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. I asked for some special cereal for breakfast and they went out of their way to provide it which was excellent. The reason for my visit was to provide a training course at the hotel. The training venue was excellent but special mention must got to Sreejith who seemed to always be working and busy. Nothing was too much trouble and any requests I had or questions were answered. He has an excellent knowledge of the facilities and always ensured that my training room was tidied and ready at the start of each day. The continuous buffet was excellent. Sreejith always had a smile and he is an excellent ambassador for the hotel and the company. Thanks you to all the staff for making my stay so welcome and contributing to its success.

great new place with a new vibe. Good rooms with latest amenities. Wifi has good speed and the Bluetooth system is great to listen to music. The services are great and very customer focussed. the location is a bit inside however very near to Avenues and Muscat Grand Mall. Surely one of the top new openings in the city. Thanks to Pramila And Ahmed from reception for the quick checkin for our small group.

We thought this hotel was centrally located in Muscat and was a good base for us as we explored Oman. The rooms were quiet and our king size bed was massive! We appreciated the kettle and mini fridge in our room. The towels were very soft and there was lots of storage space inside the room and bathroom.
The amenities at this hotel are decent with a nice rooftop pool, sauna, steam room and restaurants on site. We felt the signage could be improved because we knew the pool was on the tenth floor but still had trouble finding it and an elevator to take us there. We rented a car and they have plenty of free parking underneath which was an added bonus.
The breakfast was good and I'm sure they have something for everyone but it was nothing amazing. There are eggs to order, they alternate between pancakes and waffles and the buffet offers a good variety of arabic and western dishes. My favourite item was the preserved figs. There are signs throughout the hotel saying to get there early for breakfast so it isn't as busy but we had no issues during our stay.
The hotel is located very close to two large malls and has quite a few shops and restaurants nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful here and we felt we had a very relaxing stay.

Booked this hotel on a last minute flight to Muscat for a business trip , found it much better than ı expected , newly opened , close to center , rooms are very well designed with comfortable beds. The pool on the roof and the health spa on the 9 th floor ı used and enjoyed very much. Also WAVE resturant on the ground floor has delicious food. The room rates are really good for this kind of hotel and service. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone esp for the ones doing a business trip.Will definitely stay here on my next trip to Muscat.

A great Pension, very well placed the is spacious own comfortable bedding , Bathroom too. The Pension has a beautiful rooftop pool , with sauna , hammam, gym . All the team is at the top smiling responds quickly to various requests. In the lobby they provide you with dates and coffee totally free. In the neighborhood there are plenty of restaurants that close very late (midnight ,2am ) as well as a convenience store open h24. The Pension provides towels for the swimming pool and steam bath. From the airport no need to take a taxi where the Awards are high just take bus 8 or A1 which will drop you off at about 500 , the bus simply costs 0.500 ryals just 1st. Here Another super happy Foix from my stay at the Inn. And if I have to go back to Muscle it will be in this Pension
