I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, although they had a slightly old-fashioned look. The service was excellent with a complimentary dinner after a late check-in. The location was convenient for those traveling via the expressway, but a bit odd on a small hill. The dining experience was good, offering a nice selection of coffee, but a bit on the pricey side.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were really comfortable and perfect, but the proximity to outdoor AC chillers machines was a drawback. The service was welcoming and helpful overall, although there were some rude instances during breakfast. The location was a bit isolated but great for breaking up a journey to Muscat. The dining options were a letdown with minimal offerings. The facilities were decent overall.

Our stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room we were allocated on the 1st floor had a damp, musty smell, but we appreciated the great balcony and delicious homemade smoked fish. The service was top-notch with the staff, including Said Al Hinai at the front office and the F&B Manager, being courteous and helpful. The location was a bit far from Sohar center, making it inconvenient for nighttime outings to Muscat, but ideal for business travelers due to proximity to the industrial area. The dining options were up to standard, offering a good variety of continental and local cuisine. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were good overall.

The Crowne Plaza hotel in Sohar was a pleasant stay with very clean rooms, kind and well-trained staff but with some delays in room readiness. The location allows guests to enjoy the nearby city lights view but lacks cleanliness and is quite expensive. The dining experience offers a good variety of coffee options but falls short in quality for a 5-star rating. The hotel's facilities were major and amazing, enhancing the overall stay.

The hotel offers spacious, clean, and very comfortable rooms that can be connected for additional space but are situated over a noisy disco. The service is very friendly and helpful, with a touch of professionalism, such as arranging parking promptly after the first night. The location is a bit outside the city, providing open views but a distance from popular areas. The dining experience covers a good variety of continental and local cuisine, with a good offer of coffee. The facilities are top-notch, although the noise from the disco can be a downside, and the location is far from Sohar center.

I stayed at a hotel that was a bit far from the Sohar center, but it turned out to be a great choice for a stopover between Abu Dhabi and Muscat. The location was isolated, ideal for breaking up the journey to Muscat. The room I stayed in was big, comfortable, and ready by 4 pm. The service was exceptional, particularly in the breakfast area; the staff were super friendly and courteous. The dining experience had a lot of variety and was excellent overall. However, the location was not suitable for going out at night to Muscat, and the hotel's dining was not up to par for a 5-star establishment.
