Our family stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights. Getting to this hotel is a bit difficult because there’s no public transportation available except for taxis. We chose to book in advance with people who offer car lifts. We paid around 70 AED but ended up giving 100 AED because the driver was really nice.
When we checked in, the receptionist told us that they would upgrade our room because the one we originally booked had two single beds that were separated. Our room was really nice—clean, with a balcony. However, there were some areas that weren’t very clean, such as the curtains, which had a lot of stains. I understand that the hotel is a bit old and the prices are affordable, so it wasn’t really a big issue for us.
There are several amenities, such as a playground and a pool, which we really enjoyed. They check the pool’s pH level every day to maintain water quality.
The breakfast was okay, but I really enjoyed the bread and the egg station. The restaurant food was also fine, and the prices were reasonable considering the location is on a mountain.
Overall, we had a wonderful time at Oryx Hotel, especially because the weather was very nice. For me, it’s good value for money.
