I stayed in the intrCon in early Sep 2008 for 2 nights on a business mission. Hotel is not new but with spacious renonvated rooms and inviting lobby that compensates for that. I had a nice room overlooking the graden and the pool and the view was beautiful from up there. Staff seems abit worn out but they were friendly... more

Nice and comfortable hotel. Good for business. For Intercontinental, would not say is of exceptional standard. Trader Vic's and Senor Pico are both recommended restaurants. Swimming pool is great for lap swim. more

We stayed in the Intercontinental Muscat for 13 days in April/May 2008. After reading the reviews on this hotel I did not want to stay here but as I was accompanying my husband on a business trip and the company had selected this hotel we did not have a choice. We also stayed at the Shangri-la for our actual family... more

Although the Intercontinental is an older hotel vs. all the new ones being built, it is a very reliable choice. The hotel is still in very good shape. Their grounds are beautiful and since it is so centrally located, the hotel is actually a favorite sports club with the locals. Two nice swimming pools with lively scenes. A great selection... more

We booked a 5 night stay at the Intercon on the club level floors, The hotel is an ugly 1970's monster, the common areas are reasonably attractive though. The rooms are ok, fairly large, comfortable bed but nothing special, the bathroom felt a little dirty and old, the balcony is useless small dirty and nowhere to sit, no ashtray in... more

We travel extensively and stay frequently at Intercons so we have a basis of comparision to say this is absolutely the worst Intercon we have stayed at! Traveling for several weeks in the Middle East, we thought this would be a good side trip and selected this hotel because our original reservations were for the Intercon Al-Bustan which was closing... more

After a long drive from Dubai via Hatta, we arrived quite late in the afternoon only to find that our room was not ready for occupancy. Seeing that we were slightly annoyed by this, the Guest Relations Manager stepped and smoothed things over. The accommodation was very good, breakfast included in the room rate was more than adequate, and each... more

As mentioned in other review here, the old Intercon is really looking very worn around the edges, especially in the rooms. Now i undertsand that the hotel is 30-ish years old (if in doubt, have a look at the bathrooms, i would say unchanged since it was built) but as a 5 star upscale hotel managed by a supposedly leading... more

Stayed 4 nights in October 2007 for vacation. Rooms are very dated, especially the bathroom with cracked grouting around the tub, old style, nearly non functioning hair dryer,(request another from the front desk) and a medicine style cabinet. Our "mountain view" room was over A/C units and concrete slabs and the balcony had pealing paint. Brought our concerns to the... more
