Safeer Continental Hotel

The staff of the hotel were uniformly helpful to us, whether getting our bags to our rooms, or greeting us as we came and went. The price and arrangements were exactly as described in their Booking.com entry. The room was actually a small apartment with a sitting area outside the bedroom, and also a kitchenette. Breakfast had a broad range of options, and was reasonably priced at OR 4 per person. It was located within walking distance of several good restaurants. No hotel in Muscat is inexpensive. Among the lower cost hotels this one served our needs well.

The hotel appeared not to anticipate that someone would be staying in the room. One of the lamps by the bed was not plugged in, but required an adapter in order to plug it in. Also needed a new light bulb. They had it fixed in less than one hour after arrival, but why not check these things in advance? This is a minor point in an otherwise good experience.

Check-in was very fast. We reached the room within 5 minutes of entering the hotel. Staff were very courtious and friendly. Very clean rooms.

Only shortfall is lack of plates/cups spoons in the kitchenette
