Golden Tulip Seeb - Muscat

I had heard some disparaging reviews of the hotel and was very pleasantly surprised. The rate was excellent for an overpriced country, especially during a peak exhibition week. The location was ideal for the airport and right next to the exhibition centre where I was working. Free wifi. The dining options are limited but otherwise great value.

The rooms were very cold. The thermostat could not be regulated.

Genuine Expedia guest review

over priced for the services and the room conditions.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is what you would expect of an airport hotel - very convenient and free airport transfer with a good buffet breakfast. However, we did not sleep well at all as there were so many biting mosquitos in our room and no nets. If you go take anti mosquito spray.

The hotel was quiet and peaceful. It was close to the airport but a distance from the city, however that was not a problem.Taxi fares ranged from 6 -8 OR. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Made reservations through Expedia. Checked in with no problem. First time in the country. I wish there was more help offered on te part of the staff. No information was available until 4pm from car rental and concierge staff. Concierge was very helpful in booking reservations for 2 all day tours, which the family enjoyed tremendously. There was no hot […] water pool (whirlpool) in the pool area. Even with small children, the pool area was not attractive to them. Read more

"Hospitality" is the best word to discribe this hotel as I have received lots of them during my stay in this hotel. I have a big trouble during my stay in Muscat, however, because of the huge help from them, I can definitely say I have survived the situation. This is absolutely more than I have expected, and it matters if we can get a help from them […] when we face a problem, but I can say this hotel will be always willing to help you in need. I would like to visit the hotel again! Read more

This hotel is expensive though there is no reasonable option near the airport. The airport shuttlecan only be used on days you're staying in the hotel on othetr days (e.g. aftre returning the rental car) taxi must be taken.

Good location near the airport. Comfortable rooms, even if there was a smell of disinfectant. Very polite personnel. The bar on the top floor seriously neglected. Breakfast was good, even if the coffee was terrible. The shuttle to the airport was very convenient. The little shop inside the hotel was very nice. All in all a good hotel if one is there […] for business and needs a convenient hotel near the airport. Read more

I stayed at the Golden Tulip Seeb Hotel for a business conference. All of the facilities were clean and adequate. For a formal conference it is in the perfect location, near the airport, next to the Musct Exhibition Center and close to the highway.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I made a mistake with my booking, and unfortunately turned up on the wrong day. The staff were very helpful and although they were fully booked they did manage to find me a room. The room service menu was very nice and the portion size huge. I would definitely stay there again. I did not get chance to try the restaurant.

Chose this hotel as was in Muscat for business at the airport. Stay three nights but couldn't stay a fourth as it was full. Stayed many times before and will use again and so too my colleague.

Excellant hotel. Very comfortable room. Evening meal from "country" buffet was very good

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very convenient when arriving on late flights. Hotel is 5 mins from airport and the hotel provides a transfer service. Also good access to the main route into Muscat city.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Really convenient location for the airport. Hotel is showing its age - 60s/70s? but they have done the best to maintain quality and comfort in majority of areas, and although next door to the airport noise was not a problem. Complimentary shuttle bus to/from airport a real plus. Room and bed very decent size, very good air con, new flat screen TV - […] decent channel choice, mini bar fridge had a spare shelf to chill own drinks however pillows were too soft for my preference. Bathroom again good size, shower OK, but would have preferred more power. Breakfast OK - decent variety of western / local foods Pool area needs some TLC - new tiles and a lick of paint wouldn't go amiss! Disappointed there were only a handful of loungers and all were taken at the time I wanted to use one Roof top bar area is again very outdated - but kind of cool in a kitsch retro sort of way!

Our flight was arriving very late at night, so we used this hotel as overnight stopover before continuing our journey around Oman. Three of us were accommodated in on-suite, double room with pullout settee. Room was clean, despite stain on the throw covering settee and reasonably spacious. Everything in room was set for two guests, not for three, despite […] making our reservation good few months in advance. Hotel staff was very prompt when we contacted front desk and requested extra linen, towels etc. Buffet breakfast was O.K. Good selection of food, but quality of food was not to 4* standard. After breakfast we used hotels swimming pool, that is reasonable size, however area around pool can do with some revamping. Read more

Hotel Location - Grt , right next to the airport Decent Breakfast, Luch and Dinner options. Stafff was friendly

Genuine Expedia guest review

Popular Hotel as it is close to the airport. Shuttle bus runs on time and is free. Dreadfully undermanned staff wise and took some time for things to happen. Internet is chargable and very expensive. Buffet breakfast is OK. "All in All" I would recommend.

Genuine Expedia guest review

i think the main problem with this hotel is that there are only really 2 restaurants there, one of which is a bar that only serves sports bar food. the other only has buffet. anyhow, the shuttle service was efficient. the room was very comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good location for those attending the Oman International Exhibition Centre. The hotel looks relatively old, when I checked in they probably gave me the last room available that day, not thoroughly cleaned, smoking room instead of non-smoking which is what I originally booked. The balcony was flooded with rain they had the previous day. Came to clean […] up after I went to the front desk to complain. Not good enough, wouldn't recommend or stay again unless attending an exhibition. Read more

Good location, close to the airport. Free shuttle service to the airport. Breakfast buffe good and various. The hotel is a bit rundown and in serious need of a renovation/shape up but works fine for the purpose of staying a night or two.

I stayed an overnight at the Golden Tulip Seeb having previously stayed two nights at the Golden Tulip Nizwa and was pleasantly surprised to see similar/same services being offered which made the stay more enjoyable. A well maintained hotel with lots going on and a great location to get into the city and the airport. I'd stay again if I was in Mu […] scat. Read more

A very tired hotel. Unless you need to be within a few minutes of the airport or exhibition hall there are better places to stay in Muscat.

Not really sure why this hotel gets such a thumbs down from some people, perhaps it's been upgraded since other reviews of maybe I lucky. Becuase of some of the other reviews, this was a lot better than I expected. It's an airport hotel thats much better than some I've stayed in various parts of the world. Clean room (admittedly, a few stains on carpet); […] comfortable bed; functional bathroom; good breakfast and helpful staff. Free shuttle - easily arranged, just email ahead of time (I did so just before flying and all was efficiently arranged). A good choice if you need a hotel near the airport or you're arriving lateish and want a convenient place to stay before moving on. I'd recommend it. Read more

Helt fint hvis formålet er at få et ok hotel tæt på lufthavnen. Men umiskendelig lugt af mug/fugt på værelset, hvor det tykke gulvtæppe godt kan få ens tanker hen på skimmelsvamp. god service - fin morgenbuffet.

Cheap hotel, with bad location, well close to the airport.The rooms are not 4 star. the pool area was not 4 star, all restaurants, bars, cafes etc where ALL closed at 4PM we tried to get a beer, glass of wine, cup of coffe. Impoossible. We asked for assistance with tours, and got sent away to a place which where fully booked ended up with the taxi driver […] pulling strings to get us in. When ordering the free shuttle at a clock X it nvere showed up. Wehen we where laving the taxi one night with kids, trolleys, shopping bags, bags etc. The bellboy where just standing there watching us. Overall a bad hotellexperience, and yet again i realized the fact that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR Read more

fine airport business hotel Rooms and restaurant are ok, but wifi and the bar are a little expensive

Genuine Expedia guest review

You cannot complain about the service level, however this seems to be the only real plus to the hotel. Rooms are old, maybe not dirty but worn down at best. This hotel needs maintenance! Internet access is expensive and neighborhood is not very interesting (which obviously is the case for most airport hotels). The hotel can be recommended only if you […] need a place to sleep and if close proximity to airport or convention center is a requirement. Again staff is friendly and very service minded! Read more

Het is een ouder hotel en de kamers zijn toe aan wat vernieuwingen. Vloerbedekking met vlekken en losse stukken. De badkamer is wel netjes maar duidelijk oud. Het ligt wel ver van de bezienswaardigheden af (20 minuten met de auto) en in de omgeving weinig te beleven. Allen de Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is vlakbij. Geen last gehad van de vliegtuigen […] als je aan de achterkant van het hotel je kamer hebt. Ontbijtbuffet is wel uitstekend en uitgebreid. Voor ider wat wils Read more
