Golden Tulip Muscat The Village
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want a highly rated 4-star hotel with a pool, spa and gym for about €71 a night and are happy to drive or take taxis. Skip it if you need to walk to sights, since the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is 16 km away.

Golden Tulip Muscat The Village is our Best Value pick in Muscat. On paper it is a strong deal: a 9.3 guest score, 4 stars and a long list of facilities at a price well below the city median. It suits couples and travellers who want hotel comforts on a moderate budget and will move around by car or taxi.
Skip it if you want to explore on foot. The one sight in our data is far away, and we have no confirmed details about what is within walking distance. Also note that the 9.3 comes from 257 reviews, a smaller base than many hotels have, so one trip's experience can vary more.
Location and getting around
The address listed is simply The Village, which is not a full street address. Check the exact location on a map before you book.
Guests rate the location 9.4 out of 10, but our data does not say what they value about it. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is 16.2 km away, about 203 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. That is far. Plan on a car or a taxi. Free parking is listed. A beach appears in the provider's facilities, but that does not confirm a beachfront location or a walking distance to the sea, so check before you count on it.
What guests say
The score is 9.3 out of 10 from 257 reviews. In the sample we checked, that ranks joint 1st of 18 eligible properties on review score.
Our data does not include a summary of specific praise or complaints for this hotel. Before booking, read a handful of recent reviews and look for comments on rooms, noise, the pool and the staff.
Price and how it compares with our other Muscat picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) was €70.86 per night, 47% below the sample median of €132.45. It is a reference price, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Jarzez Inn Hotel Azaiba فندق جرزيز إن العذيبة, was €47.59 per night with an 8.8 score and 3 stars. Our Luxury pick, Kempinski Hotel Muscat, was €460.36 per night with a 9.2 score and 5 stars. The Golden Tulip costs about €23 more per night than the Budget pick for a higher score, a fourth star, and a spa, pool and gym. It also scores slightly above the Kempinski at a fraction of the price.
Listed facilities are a gym, a spa, a pool, a restaurant, free parking, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace. Breakfast options listed are continental, halal, gluten-free, American, buffet and breakfast to go. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 18 hotels in Muscat. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price, so it is not simply the cheapest option. The Golden Tulip combined the joint top score in the sample with a price nearly half the median, which made it the clear choice.
Before you book
Confirm the exact location, since the address is incomplete. Ask whether the beach listed in the facilities is reachable on foot or needs transport. Check spa and pool opening times and any fees. Confirm whether breakfast is in your rate. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed, so read the room details and the cancellation policy.
