Sur Plaza Hotel

One night stay on a 10 day driving tour of Oman. Room was decent sized and the bed firm but sleepable. Mini fridge to cool water. There is a very good little seafood restaurant about 100 m down the street. Vastly preferable to the hotel buffet and probably 1/4 the price. Lots of parking. The hotel seems to be popular with tour companies so they are set up for mass meals. Breakfast had a decent selection. Seem to be a good choice from what we saw around Sur.

This was a last minute booking with almost no alternatives. And you cannot expect much from a 2 star hotel, but this place is actually very decent. Rooms are clean, facilities are in good working conditions, staff is friendly and helpful and they even have shisha by the pool in the evening. Breakfast was better than what you would expect for the price - they even have an omelette station snd something else of that kind.

Hotel was lovely, pool lovely, gym excellent, staff very attentive. Mattresses not bad and they did give a selection of hard or soft pillows which most hotels don't offer as standard. Probs 7 out of 10 for good nights sleep. Gym was excellent and had a personal trainer there in the gym for free who was awesome and very helpful.

The hotel bar was a nice surprise, as was the enormous swimming pool and well appointed gym. Breakfast was decent, and the bellman was very patient and attentive. The stained glass in the lobby ceiling is worth the visit on its own merit!

This hotel had the feeling of a lovely old fashioned hotel. We booked the Family Suite which was 2 separate bedrooms and bathrooms connected by a hallway. So very spacious for 3 people. I am not sure what the description of our room meant- ‘this suites special feature is the pool with a view’ so thought we may get a view of the pool. But this was not correct? It was no big deal though. The staff were very professional, and really nice to see staff in suits behind the counter. The room was rather bland and non descript, but it was all we needed. The breakfast included was tasty and ample. The hotel is apparently 25 years old but seems more old fashioned than that, but in a good way. It was pristine clean, and had an incredible domed ceiling of stained glass. The pool was pretty average but anything is good when you are that hot. The rooms look down into a central internal reception area. The reception foyer had beautifully decorated areas/nooks eg nautical theme. I would stay here again.
