Wyndham Muscat Review
Pros:

The hotel has friendly and helpful staff. A big advantage is the underground parking, and our room offered a nice view of the mountains. Breakfast included a good selection of continental, Arabic and Asian dishes, so everyone could find something they liked. The live cooking station and freshly prepared eggs were also a plus.

Cons:

The air conditioning in our room was not working properly. When switched off, the room became too warm, while the auto setting made it too cold. This was particularly uncomfortable at night, as it was difficult to find a comfortable temperature.

Disappointing Stay Despite Previous Positive Experiences
Pros:

The breakfast is always a +

Cons:

This was not my first stay at Ramada Encore Muscat. In fact, I have chosen to return to this hotel on several occasions because of its convenient location, the room upgrades I have received, and the overall value for money it offers.

Unfortunately, my most recent stay was extremely disappointing.

I discovered two insects that appeared to be bed bugs in my room, one crawling on the bed cover and another on the bedsheet near my pillow. Naturally, this was a very unpleasant and concerning experience.

I immediately reported the matter to the hotel staff, who arranged to move me to another room. While I appreciate their prompt response, I believe that finding insects in one's bed is simply unacceptable, regardless of the hotel's category or price point.

A fruit platter was subsequently sent to my room as a goodwill gesture. While the gesture was appreciated, it did little to make up for the discomfort and unease caused by the incident.

Having been a returning guest with generally positive experiences, I found this particularly disappointing. Cleanliness and hygiene are fundamental expectations, and I sincerely hope the management takes this incident seriously.

I have always considered Ramada Encore Muscat a good-value hotel, but this experience has certainly made me reconsider staying here again.

Bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Emplacement parfait et rapport qualité prix

Cons:

La chambre sentait une forte odeur de cigarettes ; ils ont simplement mis du désodorisant que j’ai dû de nouveau demandé chaque soir.
Le personnel de l’accueil n est pas souriant, j’ai senti que je dérangeais. Cependant le personnel du ménage était très gentil
