Very nice place, spotlessly clean, traditional building, great breakfast! Just in the center of the old town, 1' from the museum, wonderful area to walk at night.

The bad: The Booking.com description is very misleading. Toilets smell of faeces. There is no pool or anything like it, just an enclosed gravel parking lot. The heat pump doesn’t heat.
The walls of the structure are thin, like a shed. The neighbourhood had construction noises at 6:30am. There is no wi-fi. No TV.
There were no towels (because of covid said the owner). He said he’d bring some but did not. There is only one sheet on the bed, under you, so your skin touches the blanket. Price was high, but most places nearby were even higher. What was notable was how little you get for your money.
The description really must be changed, it is incorrect in so many ways.
The good: The room is big. The kitchen had pots and pans and cooking stove. Parking was inside the locked gated compound. There were two blankets. There were not too many roaches or mosquitoes.
Very close to trailheads. Cafe a 15 min walk uphill.

The location and atmosphere were great. Traditional old house and Lots and lots of tress, palm dates in and around the property. There is a mango tree within the property - enjoyed juicy mangoes for free. Excellent place to get out of busy city life and be surrounded by mountains and greenery. The falaj (water canal) system was amazing - clear and tasty natural water straight from the mountains. Will definitely come back here.

The host was great, helpful and friendly. After my tiring hike took me to the restaurant by car and next day much further (to Bahla) than the standard drop-off point. He was also very knowledgeable about hiking routes. There is also a lot if information material available.
Room was spacious (even if it was full it would still be comfortable) and clean, so was the rest of the apartment. Kitchen is well-equipped. Views from my window were ok, nice mountain view, but also some building sites close by. Location was great for me, but it is not in the old Al-Hamra.
Al Hamra Guest House is set in Al Hamra, 32 km from Nizwa, boasts air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi throughout the property. You will find a kettle in the room.

We stayed in Old Al Hamra at the Al Bait Aljabal Hospitality Inn which was wonderful. Beautifully artistically decorated. The very helpful owner found a local guide for us Abdul Rahman Alabri to take us in his 4x4 to Jebel Shams to do the Balcony Walk. AbdulRachman was truly excellent with a lovely kind personality. Very informative. I would never have managed the Balcony Walk without him as, although a hill walker, I can experience a fear of heights. The Balcony Walk has big drops on it though you are never truly exposed. Being with a local guy who knew what he was doing gave me confidence. His cousin owns a lovely cafe Saef in amongst the palm trees in old Al Hamra. You really are away from the commercial side of tourism there. Al Hamra can act as a base for many other places in the mountains. Easy to get to Misfah for example

Traditional and very quite place in the middle of a small heritage village. Friendly and helpful staff. As a family of five, we had booked two rooms. One with bathroom, the other one had shared bathroom on the floor. All very clean and comfortable to use. Great old style Omani flair within the house. Definitely suitable for families and well located to have day trips around the area as there is plenty to see and all nearby. 24/7 access, however, check-in before 11pm recommended. We would have appreciated a breakfast included in our price.

Picturesque location, old-mud houses, palm trees & great hiking trail - feels like you traveled back in time. Definitely a must visit. Check out Misfat Al Abreeyen for great adventure & drop by at The View Hotel for chill moments while watching suset.

Both Al Hamra and Misfat al Abriyeen are Not to be missed.
Both Al Hamra and Misfat al Abriyeen are Not to be missed.
Please consider that the property is not in Al Hamra but Misfat al Abriyeen. The 2 villages are near but totally different with totally different things to do and see (Al Hamra or THE Red is and old village on a plain with red mud houses. A traditional house,completely restored, built in the Yemeni style, offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of traditional Oman. Misfat is only a few km away but on top of a gorge and wadi. The tour of the village through small alleys, winding stairs, pools of water and a working falaj system is mesmerising.
Nice and cozy hotel in the old city of Al Hamra. We felt like staying in one of the castles we visited earlier during our trip, which was quite interesting. The accomodation is simple but sufficient - room has only beds and few shelves, there was a common bathroom (we were the only guests using it, so it was ok) and a seating area (in a traditional style, very nice and comfy!).
This accommodation exceeded our expectations. The hotel is in a beautiful location amidst the ruins of the old Al Hamra. It has an excellent atmosphere. The hotel does not have a reception, but the owner will come when called. Faisal was very friendly and also told us many interesting things about the history of the place. Can highly recommend it to everyone.
Gorgeous, authentic Omani boutique hotel, with a home stay feel. The view from the rooms and breakfast terrace were gorgeous. Really nice to interact with other guests at dinner and breakfast. Shower and terrace would normally be shared between 2 rooms but fortunately we had it to ourselves.
Nice location but difficult access, especially that we had rain over our stay and could not really enjoy the view from the hotel. But staff and dinner were great.
The apartment was definitely bigger than expected and very well equipped. Incredible value for money, would suit a couple or small family. I recommend this place.
