Sohar Beach Hotel

Although it comes across at first sight as a hotel that has passed it’s heyday, the SOHAR Beach hotel is a good place to stay and we much enjoyed our time there. A large imposing building fronting Sohar ‘s black sand beach, the outer buildings have been closed due to flooding some years back and only the adjacent main building is currently in opération. We were fortunate to be upgraded by the very personable reception person, Bernard, to a wonderful large room with a separate sitting area and a large balcony overlooking the sea. It was great to he able to sit outside and watch the activity on the beach. The bathroom was a good size too. Breakfast was good and our Sri Lankan server (I’ve forgotten his name, sorry!) very pleasant & helpful. The location of the hotel is on the outskirts of town but if you have a car that’s not a problem. I would stay here again and recommend the Sohar Beach hotel!

Actually it was a very bad experience the blanket was dirty the receptionist are not helpful hope they will ameriolate in the future, also I was surprised that a c for warming is not working, after complain they said we will add three hours for sheck out loool.

This is my second stay at Sohar beach hotel. I rarely give reviews but feel this place deserves one! The hotel is great, location perfect and staff are amazing. Special thank you to my friend Rajesh who really made this place feel like home. All the staff were great, big thank you to Lalit, Fisul, Dhan and Ravindra as well. Hopefully see you all again soon!

It was Arafat Day (27 July 2023) plus 3 days of Eid Holiday so my wife and I decided to drive to Oman from Abu Dhabi, UAE. This hotel is decent and well maintained. The Omani Mr. Ibrahim (?) from the reception was very helpful and gave us information that we need. Only complaint we have is the not so cool AC. We can't bring down the temp below 25 deg C. We set the thermostat to 23 and then to 21 but the temp hover between 25 and 27 deg C. Even with the hotel staff intervention, the temp did not go down below 25. They have a good swimming pool and a nice Bangladeshi lifeguard (we forgot his name). The beach is actually part of a public beach. It wasn't bad but the waves were strong during our stay. The breakfast is quite cheap compared to the many other hotels that we've been through. Mr. Rajesh's karak chai is excellent! Mr. Rajesh was also very courteous and helpful. Overall, it was a good stay and it's location is just perfect and close to everything that we want to go to within Sohar.

Wave bashing beach front hotel with pool and best variety of suites for family, good ambience. Healthy buffet breakfast served in the morning with variety of cuisine, fresh puris and chapatis served directly from kitchen at each table by the kitchen staff. We were very glad to see our clean car in the morning….a great gesture by the hotel who truly has the customer at its heart. Swimming pool, early morning beach walk and walk in the nearby park are the things to look out for for a detoxing holiday just near the city. Friendly and cooperative staff. Reasonable pricing. Thankyou Sohar Beach hotel, for making our stay comfortable.

Excellent service, welcoming crew and very clean rooms , pleasant view near the beach . The food is so delicious 👌🏻 I had a great time and thank you so much for the great hospitality .. For sure, will visit you again in the future

Excellent service and we enjoyed morning view, food also tasty and fresh. Overall it was a nice experience. The covered play area was nice we enjoyed by playing cricket and football. Really enjoyed. Hopefully we will visit again. Thank you

Great location, with a gate opening on the beach and a 2 minute walk to the Jubilee garden. Has a pool and a basketball court. Older buildings were being refurbished. Great view of the sea from the room. Good breakfast options. Wi-Fi was a bit patchy but was sorted out.

One of the best and scenic places ever in Sohar. The rooms were well furnished with great amenities and the beach view from the room window was mesmerizing. I spent half of my time in the swimming pool. Food was yummy.

It is value for money. Good spacious rooms, great outdoor view with open sea. Decent breakfast spread. Good baths. Service is excellent with courteous and well informed staff. TV channels with Arabic, English and hindi content available

A little bit stressed from the journey, the friendly behaviour of the Sohar Beach Hotel team let me feel comfortably and relaxed after two days. The room is not only big it is great, and clean. Not only the breakfast and the diner are fun for my tongue, also the talk with Rajesh and his colleagues are interesting and funny (Rajesh, make handcuffs to your cook, he can everytime start up with his own restaurant in Germany. Good stuff from good staff). Thanks to all the nice people i know now in Oman. Four weeks ago i don' t know where it is, now i love it! For all readers: Come to where the beach is, fly over Muscat airport and enjoy the beautyful architecture. Make the trip to Sohar by bus or taxi and learn about the friendly people in Oman. Climbers are also welcome, but don't forget the chalk and visit Oman in the wintertime. Best regards and thank you for reading. Holger

Excellent location on the beach, nice big well appointed rooms having a view of the sea with a large spread for dinner and breakfast, with courteous staff. Superbly manicured garden and lawns and a clean outdoor swimming pool to boost. Can’t think of any negatives

Great experience Clean spacios rooms Very good food Staff was very courteous We were group of bikers from Oman and dubai who made a nigjt halt in tra sot We will surely rwcomend tgis proprty to all wanting to take a break

Very nice hotel., rooms are neat and view was awesome.. I liked the balcony and spent most of the time there.. the bathrooms are good with nice modern fittings and was clean.. food was also excellent., appreciate the restaurant person who, for me got special roti since it was not there in buffet., overall very good experience and i will be visiting them soon

very clean room, linen was fresh, amazing view of the beach, lovely parking, good bar, overall experience, 10/10....hussein the BD manager, : was the perfect host...we were about 20 motorcycle riders, and the hotel catered to all our needs, the hotel also has a well equipped gym that i sued...i noticed they have some meeting rooms as el.....free wifi too....huge property and plenty of parking....food quality was commendable

Enjoyed a week's stay by the sea side. Comfortable and elegant room. Good housekeeping & excellent food, room service & friendly yet professional staff. Special mention must be made of Mr Rajesh who showed excellent initiative in going out of the way to make us feel comfortable and made the stay enjoyable. The weather was great as well.

The new wing of Sohar Beach Hotel provides a beautiful view - window and balcony opening to sea. The rooms are spacious and clean. The best part was the service and food. Thoroughly enjoyed cuisine prepared by Mr Vijay Sharma. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Overall, it was a great stay. Hope to see the renovation complete soon as the pool is under repairs and so is the original wing. The new wing location next to the sea is a big plus though there is no private beach. However the view from the room where we stayed was just amazing.

Thanks to the Sohar beach hotel team for making my stay as memorable. I would like to thank the staff here at this hotel they are very professional and the cleanliness they maintain is outstanding & upto the standard.

The trip was amazing . The staff was cooperative. Everything was so relaxing . I would rate my visit 10/10. I was thinking to visit about raddision blue or sohar beach , but then I decided sohar beach and it was a best decision . Ocean view , swimming pool and homely feeling . Service was on time and perfect . Next time I am going to stay in sohar beach for sure .

Nous n avions pas été prévenus des travaux devant être effectués lors de notre réservation et n avons pas été informés entre temps Pas de piscine ,extérieur détérioré même pas une chaise longue... La plage de plus n a aucun intérêt sale etc... Nous avons tenté d obtenir un geste de la part de cet hôtel qui a été refusé! Quoiqu’il en soit le lieux n a pas grand intérêt Enfin la baie vitrée ne fonctionnait pas ...

De lokatie werd verbouwd en was niet aangegeven. Het zwembad was gesloten en er was een verbouwing aan de hal zodat het hotel rook naar verf.

Great location and super friendly staff. Spacious rooms that were very clean.

Wir hatten eine saubere und tolle Suite, viel Platz, ein schönes Bad und zwei Toiletten. Dass die sehr schönen Bleiglas-Fenster sanierungsbedürftig sind und die Fenster alle mit Klebeband »abgedichtet« waren, ist nicht grade schön. Alles war sauber, aber die Fenster komplett »blind« und ungeputzt. Sehr schade, denn das Hotel ist architektonisch sehr!!! schön und würde es verdienen, saniert zu werden. Leider wahrscheinlich zu wenige Gäste. Das Essen war besonders gut, der Service ebenso. Wir würden jederzeit wieder in dieses Hotel gehen!

the staff are very welcomed and they are very helpful. Hotel location is amazing, it is on the shore and the sea view is wonderful. night fruit meal is really a nice touch.honestly i would come again. regards,,

hotel is v nice staff is neither courteous nor efficient dont even expect them to drop your luggage to room the reception staff is a unhappy lot

Not much to do around the hotel. Food is good and staff are friendly and accommodating. The beach is a step away from the hotel. The children's pool was a bit dirty with leaves and insects!!

Hotel was clean comfortable and had and huge pool and excellent view of the ocean. The surrounding area outside of the hotel ,including the beach, could use a little clean up. I Would definitely recommend staying here and I would stay again if ever in Sohar again.

service was slow as we got our room only at 3 pm. the air condition was very cold especially in corridors which is uncomfortable when you are entering from the hot weather outside. easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants especially the fish market.

Relaxing,good and quite place , the food wasn't that good , cleanliness was excellent,

Allocated a much bigger room than we were expecting. It also had a sea view. Had dinner in the evening which was very good and an excellent breakfast after we had a morning swim. A very enjoyable stay.

Property located nicely. Rooms are big. Furniture good quality. But service is far below average. Only one Restaurant. Breakfast horribly managed and served.

Spacious room, decent food, poor service, friendly staff. Overpriced for what they can offer.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, beautiful oceanfront suite. Room service dining was excellent. Strong WiFi, lovely amenities. The only fly in the ointment was very poor TV reception. Highly recommended.

Room AC in the new building is totally not working (we had to change room 3 times till 4 AM) No bell for the guest rooms Minibar are not working in all rooms Most TV channels are not clear Internet is slow and disconnecting and asking for password many times. No Bellman to carry luggage. No lifeguard on pool. Pool need cleaning.

Our stay was nothing more than amazing unfortunately some areas of the hotel was being renovated, but this in no way stopped us for enjoying our stay. The staff and service was excellent.

Went for a weekend break during Ramadan. This meant food situation was difficult during the day. There is a very good supermarket 2 km away. Hotel was undergoing some refurbishment but stayed in new building and rooms were very nice. The pool is big and deep. Beach is next to hotel but is only narrow. Staff were helpful and tried hard to please.

Stayed total 4 nights, with 2 complete days no Internet and sometimes even no AC --- electricity failure, per hotel staff. Maybe it was only bad luck but I prefer better emergency react from the hotel, it's killing in this season without AC. The new building facilities are not completely in condition either. Some details in rooms need to be improved.

Very nice hotel with super location right on the beach. Friendly staff and excellent service in beautiful surroundings incl. tennis court, swimming pool and garden.

The hotel staff was helpful and courteous. Bar staff was very friendly. Restaurant was great except we were not told about the grill available during the buffet. So we ate just vegetables. Waitstaff was great otherwise. I think the hotel needs to do some up keep on maintainence. The towel rack was falling down in our room and the tile was a little old and loose. It was a very beautiful setting and the grounds were nice. Will certainly go back.
