My name is Irina, I work for the Pantheon tour operator in the department of work with individuals.
Today I want to share my impressions about the W Muscat 5 hotel*
1. Location
The hotel is located in the beach area of Muscat next to the Intercontinental Hotel and the Royal Opera House.
The international airport is 20 km away, an individual transfer takes 20-30 minutes. The Old Market, Sultan Qaboos Mosque and Mattrah Promenade are a 15-minute drive away.
2. The territory
The hotel has 2 outdoor pools, one of which is located on the roof overlooking the city. There is also a tennis court, a fitness center, a SPA area, several meeting rooms with modern equipment. Free Wi-Fi.
In the evening, the territory is beautifully illuminated, it is a pleasure to walk after dinner.
There is a VIP lounge if guests want to relax with a group or celebrate an event.
3. The room
Spacious rooms (from 40m2) with cool design and interesting details in the interiors (lamps, moldings on the ceiling, pillows, etc.). The room categories are named to match the impressions of the hotel – Wonderful, Fantastic, WOW, etc.
4. Nutrition
The breakfasts are good: eggs in various forms of cooking, sausages, hash browns. Side dishes: vegetables, beans, mushrooms. There is a corner with an oriental kitchen.
Several types of yoghurts and cereals, sausage and cheese cuts, and also red fish.
The cook prepares scrambled eggs with various additives: tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese, etc. Pancakes and waffles with various fillings (nutella, syrups, whipped cream, jams, honey) are also baked.
A large selection of pastries: muffins, croissants, buns with various fillings, puff pastry, etc.
Fruits: tangerines, pineapples, grapes, green and red apples, passion fruit, melon and watermelon.
A-la-carte restaurants are open on certain days (this is specified when booking).
Relaxing by the pool, you can order food (burgers/sandwiches, nachos/French fries, etc.) and drinks on call on the table by the sun loungers.
5. Entertainment
A DJ is playing in the evening. You can smoke a hookah in the bar (cost 12 real). At the time of my visit, only one flavor was offered - a double Nahla apple.
You can relax in the sports bar "Char".
6. The beach
There is an exit to the city beach through the gate (entrance-exit according to the map). There are no umbrellas or sun beds on the beach. The beach offers views of the Al Hajar Mountains.
The beach characteristics are not the most ideal. I would say that the beach here is a nice addition to the hotel.
7. The overall impression
The hotel is for those who like stylish and unusual design. A great option if you want to combine acquaintance with Muscat, but at the same time live closer to the sea.
For some, the hotel may seem dark (mostly corridors), but there is an explanation for this. The hotels of the W chain have an unusual concept: for them, guests are like stars who "shine" on stage (in this case, these are rooms, restaurants and "activity" zones), and corridors are like a passage to the stage, a kind of backstage.
If this is important to someone: pets are allowed.

A very beautiful high-class designer hotel.
A good breakfast. The beach is public, there is nothing on it. That is, I was swimming in the sea and back to the pool. But it is very suitable for fans of glamour.
Luxury hotel, swimming pool and access to the beach!
Cozy rooms, great staff!
The breakfast is very good, the restaurants have excellent menus.
Almost all the windows look out over the bay.
A good hotel with excellent service. Great pool. A delicious breakfast with a large selection of dishes. Attentive staff. Modern interiors. Well, there's nothing to find fault with. An excellent hotel for corporate events, for a short vacation, a stop on a business trip. But it should be understood that Oman is not a cheap country.
A great hotel in the city with good service, delicious breakfasts and large rooms. There is an Opera nearby. The wonderful 110 cm deep pool surprised me
A great hotel, beautiful, delicious, constant movement, anyone who needs it will find it here. There are many restaurants, a huge swimming pool, bars, lounges.
A modern hotel
