Alrayyan Hotel Apartments
Very clean and mostly quiet. Room service can improve. When I requested, instead of coming they asked me to extend my stay although I was already staying another night.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Muscat
Lovely hotel, clean spacious room, super friendly staff, loved breakfast buffet. Awesome gym, love the pool. Only cons are food and drink prices are steep and it's not very "walk friendly" to venture out locally, but everything else was fantastic.
