Must Recommended – Very Good Hotel for Stay If you are Gujarati, this place is highly recommended. Many Gujarati business man & families choose to stay here, so you will feel very comfortable. The staff is very polite, friendly, and supportive. Breakfast is excellent with tasty Indian dishes. Overall food taste is also very good. Must visit! The price they charge is very reasonable compared to the quality of service they provide. Truly value for money.

I recently stayed at Golden Tulip in Ruwi, Muscat, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The hotel is elegantly designed with a beautiful Indian-inspired style, and the aroma of incense and Indian fragrances fills the entire space, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The rooms were exceptionally clean, stylish, and comfortable, making my stay very relaxing. The staff were incredibly attentive, warm, and friendly, always ready to help and ensure everything was perfect. The hotel’s Indian cuisine and drinks were delightful, adding a rich and authentic touch to the experience. Every detail, from the décor to the service, reflected genuine care and hospitality. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a luxurious yet welcoming stay in Muscat.

This hotel is excellently priced, has a great location, and has a good breakfast spread. There is a significant amount of parking in the basement, and the staff are super friendly. It feels like just a standard Golden Tulip experience and is great for anyone who wants a fully functional hotel with all the amenities you need on a vacation. Now if you are looking to compare between the two Golden Tulips in Muscat for your vacation here, this is my stance: We stayed in the Golden Tulip Ruwi hotel for one night during our time at Muscat, and we stayed in the Golden Tulip Muscat at Sultan Qaboos Street for 4 days. While I loved the Golden Tulip Ruwi Hotel, I did feel like the breakfast spread at the other Golden Tulip was better. It was also a significantly larger hotel.

The rooms and halls in this hotel are very good. The rooms are big and classy and the facilities are well-maintained. However, I find the hallways and lounge areas a little dark for my taste. Another problem is parking; since the hotel is situated in the center of Ruwi, the space outside is crowded and there's very little chance of parking. There's basement parking but the slots are limited. One thing I really didn't like was the service. We stayed here one night for our friends' wedding. The checkin took forever. Our friend told us prior that there were arrangements made regarding late checkout since the wedding reception and program are expected to be until late in the afternoon. However, when we tried to enter our room sometime between 1 and 2 PM, our keycard did not work. After checking with the reception, they said we should have checked out at 12NN. After verifying with them the prior arrangement regarding late checkout, they said they will give us until 2PM. When we checked with our friends, some said the reception told them until 3PM, while others said the same people in the reception told them until 3:30PM. This clearly shows miscommunication between the management and staff. I hope that they will have a clearer way of handling issues like this next time, so that there will be no confusion on the part of the customers. Another thing: during lunch, there was an announcement that the VIP table will be served their lunch. After waiting for a long time, the wait staff told us in the VIP table that instead of waiting, we should just queue on the buffet. By that time, majority of the food was already gone. Although this is not a very big deal on our part, this is another issue that could have been handled differently.

I had a wonderful experience with the housekeeping service during my stay. Housekeeping Sojol was extremely professional, polite, and attentive to detail. My room was always spotless, well-organized, and refreshed on time. He went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and made my stay truly pleasant. His dedication and positive attitude truly reflect great credit on the hotel. Highly appreciated and highly recommended!

We stayed in this hotel 6 nights. Hotel is located in the heart of Ruwi, Gold Souq, nearby shopping malls, parking free of charge below hotel ( which is very handy) Originally wanted 2 interconnected rooms as we travelled as family. Staff tried the best they could to accommodate our request but there is a limited number of those rooms, so no luck at the time of arrival. Maybe next time. Rooms are very spacious, beds / mattresses could be more comfortable. Room equipment: safe, small fridge, tv ( not much to watch for an European) , desk, AC, wardrobe Everyday fresh bottled water was provided, Breakfasts- plentiful choice of fruits, vegetables, pastry, bread, cold meat and cheese, huge range of hot food and drinks, hot food menu changed everyday, very helpful staff If you want to relax you can go to rooftop pool, gym, sauna or massage .

Overall a fairly good hotel. We drove from Salalh to Muscat and ended up bone tired when we checked in. Everything was smooth and we even got a free upgrade! Food was great! Good sized buffet as well as great room service. The water pressure was amazing! We had a great time there.
