I arrived there as a short term solution to a former hotel problem. I ended up loving the place so much that I stayed for the whole duration while in country. As a solo female travelor, I got out of it so much more than what I've paid for. It's a major city, so usual expectations are all there, but I woul personally give it a 4.5 stars because it met my expectations and beyond. The building has structural wear and tears, but which building doesn't? Thank you so much for making my stay in Oman such a beautiful and memorable one.
