Not as per 5 star rating.

Sports activity area areas not operational like Billiards and table tennis. Food was average. Housekeeping needs supervision and instruction. But it was not that bad.

Overall very good

Very good overall (staff, restaurants) but for some reason no more live football in sports bar, which I believe not acceptable for a 5-star hotel. But I understand that not everybody likes football...

The exceptional quality of service, coupled with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, made it an unforgettable experience. The staff's dedication to hospitality was evident throughout, as they were consistently willing to go above and beyond to assist and ensure a comfortable stay.

From the attentive service to the inviting ambiance, this hotel stands out as a prime choice for those considering travel to Oman. Its excellence in hospitality makes it a destination worth returning to, creating lasting impressions for any discerning traveler seeking a memorable stay.

One of the best in Sohar

Loved this hotel. Large room. Good views. Although on a main road but windows sound isolated. Clean. Food is very good with excellent variety. Had more than one restaurant so plenty of choice. Reception staff were very welcoming. Thank you.

Family trip for Christmas

The front desk staff were so kind and did not doubt to provide complimentary early check in when they saw our two small kids. Cleanliness of the whole facilities was good. The hotel was offering different amenities during the Christmas season with lot of tourists and local attending them. Gym and pool (temperature controlled) are nice. Breakfast buffet also counts with live station for eggs and pancakes.

The hotel was fantastic. The only negative point is that it is away from the city. There are no restonear by and you need a car to go anywhere from the hotel.

Good place to stay at Sohar

Most things were good except for the experience on arrival. The bellboy was not in sight. He just decided to stay away when we arrived. Guests will have to mind their luggage. Expected better from Crowne Plaza.

Other services were excellent, food, F&B staff, pool area and sauna, gym staff were very courteous and friendly.

Exit signboards towards Muscat missing. One may get lost or reach Buraimi if not careful. Please do something.

Nice hotel in a fast developing town

Crowne Plaza Sohar is in a nice part of the fast developing Sohar town. Lots of highway construction close to the hotel and it is easy to get lost trying to find the hotel. The hotel itself has a nice quaint look, which I imagine is representative of Omani architecture. The patio and lobby are welcoming and the lobby is tastefully done without much bling.

Hidden gem as a base for exploring the area.

Wonderful weekend stay to escape Muscat and explore a different area. New steak restaurant is fabulous. However the ambience could be looked at. May be small screening to give some intermacy.
Pool great. Room was great, however beware the beds are very uncomfortable. Everytime my husband turned i was bounced around. So if you are after a restful sleep then i recommend single beds!
Buffet breakfast was very good.
We will definately stay again at this location if we can sort the bed situation.
Make sure you check the hotel location before you leave as you could easily miss the exit to it. It is outside Sohar by some distance on the Burami road. (wadi Jizi road)

Wonderful - when you find it!

This hotel is beautiful, lovely spacious rooms, great service and delicious breakfast. Everything you could want in a hotel. However, it took us two hours to find the hotel. It didn't show on our GPS, there were no sign posts to the hotel and as it is set in the middle of a reserve there aren't any landmarks close by. In the end we managed to find someone that knew the hotel and we got there. We would advise everyone to get co-ordinaries for the hotel before heading there.

Tranquil Oasis

A convenient and easy drive from the UAE and ideal if you just want to get away from it all for a weekend. The staff (and the locals) are so friendly and helpful. The hotel did not seem busy despite hosting a local wedding and the entire experience was seamless, pleasant and relaxing.

Very comfortable hotel for people passing true

New, very comfortable hotel with a (surprisingly!) good restaurant, nice pool and spacious, stylish rooms in a still relatively unexplored part of Oman. If you are going to Sohar, this is the place to stay, although it is about 10km from the town itself.

Good Hotel in Suhar.

The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere in Suhar,Oman.

You have to have a car/taxi.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our room, and they fixed it in no time. They talk to their guests, and that feels good.

Pool area was gorgeus.

So nice!

True 5 star hotel with 5 star amenities but, due to it being pretty much in the middle of nowhere, available for a 4 star price. So nice and relaxing....

Wonderful place to stay

My trip to Sohar and the Crowne Plaza was for 3 days. This hotel is 5 star all the way: great staff, immaculately clean rooms and well maintained grounds and pool area. My room came with all the amenities you would expect: plasma TV, complimentary tea and coffee, slippers, bathrobe, well-branded toiletries. [...]

Très bon hôtel. Un peu dur à trouver si vous n'avez pas encore votre GPS car manque d'indication sur la route. Autrement le séjour est excellent. Le restaurant SteakHouse est un peu cher comparé aux prix pratiqués à Oman, mais il y en a 2 autres dans l'hôtel (dont le sportbar excellent !)

Incompréhensible

Les notes attribuées à cet hôtel, tout comme ses 5 étoiles, sont incompréhensibles. Les prestations de la chambre n’étaient pas du tout à la hauteur : forte odeur d’humidité dans la chambre, malgré un long temps d’aération pendant le dîner, miroir grossissant cassé, style vieillissant et que dire de la literie, improbable (sensation d’un surmatelas fin sur une planche en bois).

호텔 자체는 좀 연식이 되어 보이나 전체적으로 잘 관리되어 있어요. 단 여름에는 아예 나가기가 힘드네요. 음식은 아주 잘 나오는데 알콜 가격이 한국의 3배는 되는것 같네요. 나가서는 못사니 사 가세요.
