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 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.

- beautiful location of the guesthouse, in the middle of the date plantations of Al Hamra. Perfect for an evening stroll.
- centrally located to visit the must-sees in the surroundings: Nizwa, Al Hamra old town, Bahla fort-Djibreen castle, Misfat Al Abreyyeen, Djebel Shams (balcony walk, djebel shams itself),
- good breakfast,
- the owner, Hamza. This guy is a hero, and will provide you with everything you need (recommendations for visits, restaurants etc).
Conclusion: if you are looking for a calm stay in a green surrounding, which is centrally located in the area, don’t hesitate to come over here.
Will certainly come back when we are in Oman.

Bait Al Aali is such a unique guesthouse. An old building but very well refurnished and comfortable. The room was super clean. And the bed was so comfortable. But most impressive thing during my stay was the host who was very kind and attentive. Two thumps up. Highly recommended.

We stayed in Old Al Hamra at the Al Bait Aljabal Hospitality...
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.

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.
Authentic place hotel and surroundings, staying there you can feel the history, more of that it's a good location to travel to Jabal Shams and nearby surroundings. The host was friendly and helpful, breakfast and dinner was good and delicious. The host owner is a woman from Germany and You can really feel how everything is kept in good hands. And we loved the dogs ! best wishes for Bella, Pancito, Mindi 😀
The hotel is in the renovated, original omani old house and it definitely has some spirit. It has a lot of place to share time with other guests inside and a big terrace with great view to the old village and mountains. The bathroom is pretty big, the room not so much but enough for short stay (no closet or table). If you want to feel the atmosphere of the old times it is a place for you.
