The hotel is clean and in pretty good shape. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There is a small indoor pool on the top floor and limited parking outside. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the beach but this particular beach is not very nice. For the price we paid for two nights it was great value.

Located about 15 minutes from the airport & offers a transfer for R10 but you can do it for R3 by taxi eg Otaxi/ Tasleem which require you to use their Apps. (Yango requires an Omani phone number). Whatsapp requires a VPN eg Turbo for calls but not for texts. It is clean and generally well maintained and the room had a safe, aircon, hairdryer, tv, tea/coffee facilities with 2 (500ml) bottles of water replenished daily, shower and shampoo/body wash. There are many tv channels, mainly Arabic, a few in English and 1 in French. The room was quite spacious but half the rooms face the sides of the hotel which have no view and little natural light. My room was one with a cupboard for an air con pump which was noisy and there was even more noise from the aircon in the neighbouring buildings. The only restaurant is Thai/Chinese with a reasonable buffet breakfast and a small a la carte lunch/dinner selection of mainly spicy dishes. The 1/2 board menu is more limited for R5/day (£10) even though the website says R7.5. However a large deposit is required if you are not paying daily. There is a gym and a pool but although the website says it is outdoors it is on the 5th Floor with an opening above it. To sunbathe it is necessary to use the rooftop area however there are no sunbeds, just chairs and it can be quite windy at times. There is a Pizza Hut, Sushi Station, well stocked minimarket and Pharmacy in the same block. The Staff are friendly and helpful but can lack local knowledge.

A clean and comfortable city break-style hotel with an on-site restaurant with delicious chinese/thai cuisine. Mamodou, the restaurant manager is attentive, polite and does everything. I think he might even be a chef! The bedroom had AC and was roomy, clean and comfortable with tea-making facilities, water and mini fridge. Tea/coffee: Inconsistent replenishment. Iron on request but ironing board needs to be replaced. I think access to the boiler was in my room, because I woken by a very loud noise (sounded like a washing machine spin cycle). The noise continued for 30mins.
Sami and Dani at Reception were helpful, courteous efficient and knowledgable.
The top floor swimming pool is a big plus but could do with rails around the pool, repair the missing tiles on the floor and wall of the pool. Only one short ladder to enter/exit the pool. There is no shallow end.
Overall, the hotel is a bit 'tired' and could do with freshening up but comfort, cleanliness, convenience and location make it worth the price. I would recommend to others and turn.

The room I checked in, had a AC unit that had mold inside of it so was spreading dirty, mildewy air throughout the room to the point I got really sick. When asked to change room. The reception was helpful but told me that the AC units are going to have mold in it as if it was a normal thing.?!

When I first arrived at the hotel I literally said oh my god what have I done as it seemed miles away from the city! The key word is seemed! The hotel is close to a very quiet beach giving plenty of chill vibes! Buses to the city stop like a 20 second walk away from the hotel! Quite a few shops locally too! For convenience of getting cabs, buses, local shops and the beach the hotel is great! Cabs to the the city are around 1.2 riyals and are around 10 mins away! The hotel is quiet and clean! The staff is extremely attentive and helpful! Will choose Al Hail Waves Hotel again and again when I visit Muscat! The Main Street Sultan Al Qaboos Street is about a 20 mins walk and is filled with eateries and shops!

Stay in North Muscat

Very friendly staff. Basic but nice room. Odd noises at night (quiet machines), but otherwise very comfortable.

Nice in house meal, albeit drinks were initially forgotten.

Noticeable friendly staff changing rooms and providing the service to our rooms - they were very smiley, happy and courteous.

Another great stay at Al Hail Waves!

We booked another night here at the end of our Oman cycle trip and it was excellent again. Great room with super comfy bed, all really clean - and quiet too. We had another really good meal in the hotel restaurant - highly recommended. I had paneer curry and my husband had seafood pad Thai. Fantastic! The chef is really good and Momodau who served us was super friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the breakfast too. A great place to stay if visiting Muscat with the friendliest staff ever 😁

Not a place I would come back

This is no way a 4 star hotel as claimed. The neighbourhood is almost barren and very difficult to get a cab.
The hotel facilities are minimal where the breakfast was also not bufffet due to low occupancy!!
The cleanliness looked compromised.

Expectations and hopes dashed...

The hotel staff were really very sweet and helpful - including giving us a late check out - HOWEVER that really could not compensate for the overall state of the hotel which was lacking on so many levels. It was probably the biggest 'website photos to reality' differential I have ever experienced. The main issue was cleanliness - we were on the 4th floor (a smoking floor despite requesting non smoking) and it was just really really grubby. They did offer to move us to non smoking but as it was midnight and most floors seemed similar, sleep seemed more important. The bath tub was grimy, the floor dusty, there was a used towel left in the bathroom and a dirty broken ironing board outside the room in the shared 'kitchenette' (aka dirty sink unit). The handle was missing on the window which wouldn't close and the safe didn't work. So I guess the verdict is clear - it was not a good stay and I could not recommend it. Cleanliness is the main issue and as for location, I still have no real idea where we were or what landmarks we are close to other than a busy dual carriageway in an incomprehensible road system. I would strongly advise the owners to look into cleaning it and renovating it and certainly more realistic pictures on the website!! nothing worse than selling one thing (rather dreamy views of the sea in a fairly plush looking spacious room) and then presenting a completely different grim reality - it just creates disappointment.

A bit too Noisy - tiled floors, shared \"kitchens\"

Not ideal for visiting Muscat - too far. Close to airport. With tiled floors and mini community kitchen areas between rooms, it's is a bit too noisy until late at night.

Great hotel for the price, can't be beat

Near the airport so I don't know where the traveller who wrote that he couldn't find it ended up driving. Extremely helpful front desk and bell-hop. Room is exactly what a budget hotel should aspire to. Not too fancy but clean and neat. I liked the cooking area in front of the rooms but we were woken up by noisy neighbors the next morning hanging out, but no big deal. Nice quiet area about a block behind the beach. A few good restaurants just downstairs. Breakfast was decent but basic, but good quality and plentiful. Big proper king size bed. Very nice staff.
