Ramada by Wyndham Qurum Beach

Ramada by Wyndham Qurum Beach is a mid-range hotel on Al Sarooj Street in the Qurum district of Muscat, Oman. The location is within walking range of the Qurum shoreline, and cafes, restaurants and shops are scattered through the surrounding streets. Qurum Natural Park and the Qurum commercial area are close by, and the Muscat Expressway provides links to the airport and the districts of Al Khuwair and Ghubra. Mutrah Souq and Old Muscat are a short taxi ride east along the coast. The hotel offers the standardised comfort of the Ramada brand, aimed at travellers who want a beach-area address without paying for a luxury resort. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms, Family Rooms and Suites, with nightly rates commonly between OMR 40 and OMR 85. Amenities include wifi, a restaurant, a fitness centre, parking, room service, air conditioning and 24-hour reception. Dining is based around the on-site restaurant, which typically serves a buffet breakfast and other meals, while the Qurum area offers many independent options for lunch and dinner within a short walk or drive. The fitness centre gives guests basic exercise facilities, though beach access is public rather than private. Service character is practical and family-friendly, with Family Rooms available and reception staffed around the clock, which suits late arrivals from international flights. Business travellers also use the hotel because of its position on the expressway corridor. Visitors on a budget who want to be near the sea find the property a reasonable compromise, as nearby upscale hotels in Shatti Al Qurum charge notably more. Summer heat makes walking uncomfortable in the middle of the day, so most guests use taxis for longer trips and keep beach visits to early morning or evening. Air conditioning is standard in all rooms, an essential feature in Muscat's climate.
