About Khasab City Hotel (Esra Hotel Apartments)
Khasab City Hotel (also known as Esra Hotel Apartments) is the most popular apartment-style stay in Khasab. It sits 5 minutes walk from the corniche, 10 minutes walk from the dhow departure point, and it has 28 one- and two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes, a small outdoor pool, and free parking. The building is from 2014, the apartments were refurbished in 2023, and the standard is consistent with a 3-star city apartment in any Gulf town.
The apartments are clean, basic, and functional. Each has a bedroom, a separate living area with a sofa bed, a small kitchenette (fridge, microwave, two-ring hob, kettle), and a bathroom. The pool is small but clean. There is no restaurant, but Lulu Hypermarket is 3 minutes walk away and there are several small restaurants on the corniche within walking distance.
This is the hotel we recommend for self-drivers and for families who want kitchenette facilities. Weekly rates are around 1,200 AED, which works out to 170 AED per night for a family of four — significantly cheaper than two rooms at Atana or Golden Tulip.
