“Serene Muscat MO, one harsh dissent”
Mandarin Oriental Muscat is the brand's newest flagship — serene intentional suites with Omani detailing, genuine bedroom privacy, excellent sound insulation, discreet attentive service, a great Kids Club, an excellent breakfast, fun Ramadan activities, and a peaceful beachside spot near good restaurants. Check-in ran long for one guest, and one scathing review claimed an overused bedsheet, poor service and a very poor breakfast that tarnished the brand — a lone voice amid high praise.
