Hotels in Barka

"First off, I want to highlight that this review is as low as it is because of their service. Absolutely terrible service, treating their customers as a bunch of livestock and animals. We prepaid for this hotel via Hotels.com. They did not offer our prepaid reservation, claiming that the price was too low. This I understand, and I was even willing to pay extra to make up for it. However, it’s how they handled the situation. We had an extra person visiting us, they were going to stay somewhere else but visited us in the room. The front desk called us 3 separate times, asking us how many people we booked and how many people were currently in the room. They finally made us go to the front desk, and then proceeded to say that visitors must leave by 9pm following hotel policy. THIS WAS STATED NOWHERE in the hotel, HOW COULD WE HAVE KNOWN?? They wanted us to pay extra for the visitor in the room, but we insisted that he will leave as soon as possible and ended up not paying. The ridiculous thing is, the original “low” price they claimed is not even that low, since you can get even lower price hotels in the region, with probably better amenities and service. The rooms were old, the lights were dim, and the floors were greasy. The room was disgusting, and there seemed to be cockroach faeces behind the drawers. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS."

"Things which could be improved Porters were taking other peoples cars luggage and leaving behind people like myself behind even though it was Eid holidays and it was busy no excuse to miss people who have been waiting patiently or pick and choose.. Complimentary drink glasses should be refreshed sooner than waiting like 20 min Breakfast needs improvement omelette station and Que outside in the heat not a good idea especially where the Que is within stairs quite dangerous for elderly and children. Been staying here for last 5 years omelette station was better inside..Assam the activity guy was 5* amazing and kids really enjoyed it"

"I’ve traveled far from the U.S. and stayed in many hotels, but Myriad Muscat truly stands out as the best for its exceptional customer service. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms and genuine kindness. The hospitality here is unmatched—I’ve extended my stay twice already because I feel so safe, comfortable, and cared for. A special shoutout to Maryam, who made my first night unforgettable. She went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and supported. Her warmth and attentiveness set the tone for my entire stay. Every staff member takes their time to ensure you’re well looked after, and it truly makes all the difference. If you’re looking for a place where you’re more than just a guest, Myriad Muscat is it. The comfort, hospitality, and overall experience are second to none. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here—you’ll feel at home from the moment you arrive!"

"Extremely clean and well organized. Very helpful and friendly staff."
