Ramada Encore by Wyndham Muscat Al Ghubra

Ramada Encore by Wyndham Muscat Al Ghubra is a value-oriented hotel on Way 4007 in Al Ghubra North, Muscat, Oman. The location is close to Muscat Grand Mall and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, two of the capital's best-known sights, and the airport is reachable along the Muscat Expressway. Qurum Beach and the Shatti Al Qurum district are further east, and Mutrah Souq and Old Muscat are a taxi ride away. The Encore line is Wyndham's streamlined, modern-budget format, so the hotel focuses on clean rooms, practical facilities and competitive rates. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms, Family Rooms and Suites, with nightly rates commonly between OMR 30 and OMR 60. Amenities include wifi, a restaurant, a fitness centre, parking, room service, air conditioning and 24-hour reception, and the hotel is described as having a pool. Dining is based around the on-site restaurant, which typically serves a breakfast buffet and other meals; the nearby mall adds a wide choice of food courts and restaurants. The pool and fitness centre provide relaxation after sightseeing, and room service helps on late arrivals. Service is straightforward and business-friendly, with the around-the-clock reception, though families also find the Family Rooms useful. Visitors who want to see the Grand Mosque can reach it within minutes by car, and the hotel is a sensible base for travellers on a moderate budget who still want a pool and a modern property. Ghubra is a residential and commercial district rather than a tourist quarter, so evenings are quiet, and most guests dine at the hotel, at the mall or by taxi in other areas. Taxis are inexpensive in Muscat, and the hotel can help arrange them, while parking is available for those who rent a car for day trips to the mountains or wadis.
