Fodor's Expert Review Ruwi Hotel

This solid, well-run hotel is one of the best mid-range hotels in the city and convenient to Muscat's central business district, streets lined with lively South Asian shops, inexpensive eateries, and freeway access. The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable, and room service, while not bringing up any award-winning food, is good and fast. The hotel has a pool and fitness center, laundry service, free Wi-Fi, and early check-in starting at noon. It's a fantastic option for business travelers on a short visit, as it provides easy access to both the banking and media-heavy areas of Ruwi, and is a roughly 10-minute drive to government ministries and businesses in Al Khuwair.
