    The location was great. The hotel is in the middle of the historical town of Nizwa in a really old buiding. It is very nicely renowated to look authenthic, yet comfortable. Someone helped us to find a parking near the hotel, otherwise it would have been tricky. Of course, there is always the option of parking at the souq parking area not so far away. All the places of interest in Nizwa were at walking distance. It was quiet at night.

    The arrangement is a little funky. It’s a very small hotel - 4 rooms. Ours came with a private bathroom outside the room, but the sink was in a common area with a sink for the other rooms so I wouldn’t consider that “private”. The shower/toilet room was so small that you could not change your clothes in there after showering without getting them wet. The optional breakfast is expensive and didn’t taste that good. If your room faces the street, you will hear the conversations of people passing by.

    Good location for seeing nizwa’s old town. Attractive rooms in a traditional Omani building. There is a nice roof seating area though it was mostly too hot for us to enjoy it.

    The street was under reconstruction and we did not get clear information about parking,

    It was great to stay in the heart of the old town in an original mud house.

    If we really have to say something, the bathroom is private but you still share sink with other so better keep in mind that you can meet someone on your way to the shower. But it was really not a big issue

    The room was small but cute, there was no need for more. There is a really good vibe in the hotel room as well as on the rooftop. Breakfast is 1 minute by foot and you can eat on a beautiful terrace a good homemade breakfast

    We came by car and to be honest, it was quite difficult to figure out how to get to our designated parking lot. Thankfully, we managed to get directions from the guest house staff, but I advise you to write to them and ask where to park before your arrival. Another, maybe more important issue is that, although there are two showers on the ground floor there, they are a) combined with the toilets, b)the space is cramped so it is not really super convenient. However, everything was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. Those were all minor issues that I wanted to point out not because it made our stay unpleasant but just FYI sorta.

    A very nice and picturesque guest house in the heart of the old town of Nizwa. The guest house features an amazing common area on the roof and is very thoughtfully decorated. There is a common fridge on the ground floor and two shared bathrooms. Each room had sockets and wifi was working perfectly. All the historic sights of the old city are within walking distance. We were also very warmly received by the guest house staff!

    The receptionist needs training to boost his customer service level. The bathroom is outside the room, and it is a shared bathroom!

    Very good location in the old town, comfortable beds and nicely decorated house that was converted to boutique hotel. Good value for money.

    Nothing to complain. A small side note: we got the massage to come to a different reception of another hotel, but it’s an old information, just go straight to the real accommodation.

    Nice rooftop terrace with shadow. The room was in a very authentic clay house design but very small.

    No parking available in the premises. You can park your vehicle inside the Nizwa Souq or opposite to the Souq at the public parking lot. That's quite far from the hotel if you have a heavy luggage. The hotel is an authentic old town home but has no private bathroom/toilets. There is only a common one to be shared with 2 or 3 rooms.

    Beautiful old town authentic room.

    The listing for this accommodation says that "it is possible to park at the property". Well, this is a lie. We were offered help with finding parking, but it certainly wasn't at the property, and not particularly close either (but it was close to the reception). On the subject of reception, it's important to note that it is separate from where your actual room is. It is one reception handling three separate properties, and it is located at one of the other two (a few streets away). Another thing might be something we overlooked when making the reservation, but we stayed for two nights, and there was no housekeeping/tidying in our room during our stay. Lastly, just something to note, and I know this at least partially depends on the configuration of the house, but our bathroom was a "wet bathroom", where basically the whole room (including the toilet and the sink) gets wet when you take a shower.

    We loved the experience of staying at an old authentic house. The room was small, but charming. The top floor terrace is great to chill on in the afternoon and evening (but be warned, the mosquitoes are hungry!). The location is fantastic, in the old part of town, excellent for exploring the town on foot, with many interesting sites and cafés only a nice stroll away. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    The room was very small, they only have shared bathrooms, the shower and the toilet are in the same room. You literally take a shower next to the toilet where all guests do their daily needs. The only guy we interacted with to get our key barely spoke English and he was nowhere to be found when we arrived. We had to wait on the street for a long time before getting our key.

    The guesthouse is very charming and perfect for the location and if you are looking for an unusual local experience. You are literally sleeping in an adobe. Everything was cute, inside and outside. and you are in the very center of the old city.

    Parking in old town is more than a challenge if you come on Thursday for the market on Friday. Better to keep the car at the bis souq parking and walk (around 10 minutes). Room does not have windows.

    Right in the center of old town, very cosy, nice seating area, good price

    This is a beautiful, traditional building so you can really experience the history of Nizwa, with the modern convenience of air con and WiFi! The staff were so helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was at their sister hotel and it was really good. The beds are comfortable and the streets are so quiet at night.
