We flew to Thailand by Oman Air with a long-term arrival in Muscat. I booked this hotel in advance, relatively conveniently located (by taxi!) between the sights of the city, shopping center, distance from Muscat International Airport.
We arrived early in the morning, arrived immediately at the hotel, clarified whether such an early check-in was possible - the answer is no rooms available. They will be closer to 12 o'clock. We changed our clothes, left our things for storage for free (having received a voucher for accepting our small luggage for storage) and left to explore the Sultan Qaboos Mosque, since at 11.00 tourists are asked to leave the existing mosque.
The taxi was called through the otaxi application, previously in Russia I registered in this application for the Tinkoff eSIM number. (by connecting two packages with the Internet in advance for 1 day). 10 minutes and we are already there. (The cost of the trip in the app before boarding is already known to both us and the taxi driver! Payment in cash! Omani Rials (OMR) At the airport, upon arrival, they immediately exchanged $ 100 for cash.
At the end of the inspection of the mosque, after completing all the photos and videos by the family, they called a taxi again and returned to the Hotel. We were pleasantly surprised that we were immediately given a room, while it was not yet 12 o'clock! Without any additional fees and conditions! Let me remind you - check-in at the hotel is officially indicated at 15.00!
The room is on the top floor, everything is comfortable and expected. Clean, quiet, with decent Internet! We read that there is a small nice pool on the roof, went up, looked at it and the views from the roof of the hotel were upset that they did not take bathing accessories :(went to bed.
At 16 o'clock we left to explore the Fortress and the famous bay of Muscat, the Sultan's palace ...
Returned to the hotel, and there was an influx of guests, a lot! It's time for us to move to the airport. Well, I think...We'll be late. And to our great surprise, our Check-out passed quickly.
Then a good local man, a taxi driver, who kindly waited for us after the "excursion", drove the car to the entrance and we rushed off. We rushed to another meeting with Thailand. :)
Conclusion:
There was no mistake about the hotel!

Шикарный отель, все начиная от ресепшена и заканчивая номером - продумано до мелочей. Завтрак на 5 баллов. Жаль было мало времени и не воспользовался всеми услугами - бассейном и спортзалом
