Arabian styled room, great location and very helpful staff. Great breakfast.

I especially loved the location, walking distance to all the interesting things I wanted to do, and more. The setting surrounded by ancient volcanic hills, old forts, the souk, the port, great food options... Absolutely awesome! The room had a fridge, hot water jug and teas etc provided. A very comfy bed in a small room. Needed to borrow a power adaptor for USB charger from upstairs cafe. The entrance system was not difficult. I can recommend taking up the breakfast option.. I'll post a photo of how it looks, the flavours so yum. The bathroom, tho my private one, was down some stairs as is the kitchen. I had to take care at night, kept the light on. I liked the drain for the shower was covered by smooth stones. Everything was modern and clean, nice bathroom products provided.

Everything! The aesthetics of the rooms was amazing, the aircon was fabulous and was on for our arrival. The optional breakfast was great and really added to the authenticity of our stay. Fabulous location - 10 minute walk to the market and restaurants. The guy who handled the breakfast booking was very polite and helpful. Free parking a couple of minutes walk away. The views down the street were incredible. Free bottled water was provided. Entry via keypad was okay because I had read earlier reviews. This was a fantastic stay and we would definitely stay again in the future.

Locals eat on the floor but it would be nice to have a table for those of us who are not used to eating on the floor. There was a problem with the wi-fi but the owner got personally involved and even gave us a small refund. The wi-fi is out of the owner's control but this shows that the owner and his staff care very much about their guests and take their hospitality seriously. You cannot ask for more.

Very friendly staff. Not on site 24/7 but around each day and also available online. When they are around will give extra amenities (towels, tissues, coffee, tea etc) with a smile if you just ask. So it's the best balance between a hotel and a private rental. Owner and manager both available in case of any problems. Rooms very clean with smart and comfortable feel. Staff keep the rooms and communal areas under 24/7 air con so you immediately start to cool down when coming in from the heat. (They don't go in your room and turn off the a/c like many hotels!) Perfect location in Mutrah.

Excellent location

Minor thing is that the kitchen is shared. Didn’t worry us as the room has tea and coffee facilities, and a fridge, but just to be aware of if you are planning to self-cater.

We absolutely loved the staff. They were so helpful and really looked after us. The room was really comfortable and a good size for two. We bought breakfast one day and it was really delicious and good value. Walking distance to Muttrah Souk and restaurants.

We really liked the location. Also we visited Oman at the end of July which is when the temperature is really high. It was fantastic that we could escape the heat in the cool room. The beds were very comfortable and the host was very accommodating with everything. Also the coffee bar on top of the place was a great place to be

Great place to stay in Abu Dhabi. Hosts are friendly and accommodating, storing bags and allowing late check out when possible to cater for late flight times. Rooms and beds are comfortable. Highly recommend

The after-hours checkin procedure is a bit tricky until you get used to it. We arrived after midnight and had to use the touchpad to gain access to the building and then our room. The code was sent to us before our arrival. The external touchpad did not give feedback as you pressed the keys so we kept fumbling and were unable to gain access. We then phoned the owner's number and were let in - embarrassed we had woken her. Once we learned the keypad's idiosyncrasy we were fine but in that first early morning arrival after a 14-hour flight from Australia it was a challenge. Perhaps that could be improved.

We did not wish to choose the standard mezze breakfast that was on offer and were pleasantly surprised to find that on top of the guesthouse was a cafe which served croissants, tea and espresso coffee. That was exactly what we wanted. The location is very good, just a few hundred metres walk from the main shopping/restaurant district, yet in a quiet area. The owners were very friendly and looked after us well. The room was large and comfortable.

Not related to the accom but Google Maps gives tricky directions to Fort Guesthouse due to it being a one way street. We found it easier to drive in/get dropped off from the People and Place Museum side 👍

An authentic, traditional guesthouse which is beautiful and has all the amenities you need. The hosts were extremely kind and helpful - we even had a plate of fresh fruit brought to our room after a long day of exploring! Great location to explore the Muttrah area.

Our private bath was down some stairs, making it a bit of a trek at night. But this was made clear in the listing.

This was a good base for exploring the suq and Corniche. Late night remote check-in was easy, communication was good, parking in a big free lot round the corner was easy. Truly excellent breakfast on the rooftop for a modest price. This is a budget hotel and our room was basic, but quiet with a great matress so we had no complaints. Friendly, personal vibe.

We spent one night here. Our stay was amazing! Fort Guesthouse is in the heart of Mutrah and everything in the old city is walking distance (which is a REAL plus!). The accommodation was superb in perfect Omani style (we had a room with an external bathroom) and the staff is great.
