Safeer International Hotel in Muscat

Before starting, I'd like to say upfront ;the staff at the Safeer International are great people;their reception, the restaurant, housekeeping & maintenance were welcoming & friendly.

Those things make for a great stay.

II have awarded 4 stars for their great custom;; separating from the rest of this review.

Something is going very wrong at the Safeer and from the impression of a guest whose happened to stay their twice, it's getting worse.

It comes across as an owner investment and/or management issue which is very heartbreaking.


The Safeer itself is a beautiful property; the rooms; spacious, it's closeness to the heart of Al Khuwair as well as public transportation are being squandered because of its neglected state.

The rooms have declined even further than my last visit; a lift which had wires showing didn't appear accessible this time.

There were also some short stock outs of things like toilet roll & soap, but; full disclosure, alternative mini soap & tissue boxes were supplied. The stockout was remedied (replenished) in 2 days.



The rooms have great varied setups; some have kitchen facilities, others living spaces.
This time I stayed in the latter & found the living room space a great room inclusion. Unfortunately the settees were 'neglected' showing many 'stains' on the cloth. The chair by the table had a broken arm and there was much paint bubbling/peel on lower corners of the walls.

Please owners; you have a great hotel, it just needs the investment

Good location; big room; comfy bed. Outdated furniture and hotel in need of some renovation. Basic breakfast, but ok.
Bedsheets were changed almost daily and room was cleaned daily, but every day we either didn’t get any towels or just one, even though we were 2 people. Had to ask for soap/shower gel and hardly got one; no shampoo at all; no hairdryer; TV not working.
