Centara Life Muscat Dunes Hotel

- Much better than expected. - Fairly big room, cleanliness was okay. - Rooftop pool area looked nice, good view - however, we haven't tried to pool out. - Very nice staff. - Our room was cleaned daily. - Water provided; little fridge & kettle in the room. - The breakfast was AMAZING - great selection. It was in normal breakfast times even during Ramadan. - It was a great great value for money, I would recommend staying here when you're on budget - this place truly exceeded my expectations. The hotel had everything that we needed. :)

I recently stayed at the Centara Life Muscat Dunes in Muscat, Oman. Overall, the room was spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of space to relax after a day of exploring. The staff truly stood out with their friendly and helpful attitude, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. While the room was generally clean, I felt there was some room for improvement in terms of cleanliness—it was acceptable, but could have been a bit better. The location is conveniently close to the Grand Mosque, which is a major highlight, though it’s a bit far from some of the other key tourist attractions in Muscat. In summary, a pleasant stay with good service, but there’s potential to enhance the overall experience.

Centra by Centara (despite it’s difficult name which kept confusing the locals) was a straight-forward budget style hotel in an ok location in Muscat. Taxi to the malls and som sights were 1OMR, toQuru. Beach area about 2OMR. The staff at the reception, especially Ms Najma and Ms Chella, were exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering tips on anything from the best taxi apps to mobile operators. The cleaner, Mr Jamil, was also very kind and I appreciated his flexibility: after a long day tour, I might have wanted to sleep in. He agreed to come after 6 pm. On another day I left very early and still found a clean room when returning at noon. The pool was nice, but sadly suffered from several maintenance issues. A tip: ask for a room facing away from the road. I had room 603, which had a great view of the nearby Mohammad Al Ameen Mosque. The sight was great especially at night, and I also enjoyed hearing the daily prayers.
