“Decent 3 star hotel, clean & comfortable”

Stayed here 2 nights. Hotel is clean, modern and situated on the busy outskirts of Nizwa with restaurants walkable nearby. It’s a short (10 min) drive to the centre and the sights of the old quarter.

Stayed here 2 nights. Hotel is clean, modern and situated on the busy outskirts of Nizwa with restaurants walkable nearby. It’s a short (10 min) drive to the centre and the sights of the old quarter. Rooms are clean, comfortable, quiet and a good size. Staff are helpful and we were impressed that a minor maintenance problem in our bathroom was spotted by cleaning staff and fixed while we were out before we had a chance to mention it to anyone. Food (buffet for all meals) is good. Only downsides are that the large swimming pool was too cold to use, and the staff like to fill the restaurant with Frankincense smoke before every meal. I like the smell of frankincense very much but this was heavy smoke to the extent that people were having trouble breathing, and it happened both days of our stay.

“Cheap”

Al Diyar was booked by my Omani Travel Agent and I'm sure this motivation was "price". It is a cheap hotel and you could argue it offers excellent value for money. Its location of about 4km from Nizwa souks, there's nothing in the area, so you will need a car. There is a large pool in the central c… lisää

Al Diyar was booked by my Omani Travel Agent and I'm sure this motivation was "price". It is a cheap hotel and you could argue it offers excellent value for money. Its location of about 4km from Nizwa souks, there's nothing in the area, so you will need a car. There is a large pool in the central courtyard. I tried to buy a drink from the restaurant, but they only seem to have juice (obviously no alcohol, but no soft drinks either). I got room 112 on the first floor. It was old style : huge, lots of good space, high ceiling, coffee table, 2 chairs, large desk, etc. I had some trouble working the TV, but a man came up and found me lots of channels, including international ones. The bathroom is small, but fully tiled with walk-in shower next to toilet. Very basic toiletries are provided. Breakfast is in downstairs restaurant and is buffet style, rather basic.

“Nice enough hotel away from Nizwa centre.”

I just stayed one night here as a base for visiting Nizwa. The hotel is next a busy highway and needs a taxi to get to the city centre. Check in was quick enough despite lots of photocopying and signing. The room was spacious and mine had fairly unspectacular views of the highway. The bathroom didn… lisää

I just stayed one night here as a base for visiting Nizwa. The hotel is next a busy highway and needs a taxi to get to the city centre. Check in was quick enough despite lots of photocopying and signing. The room was spacious and mine had fairly unspectacular views of the highway. The bathroom didn't feel particularly clean, hairs in the shower grime in the tiles. The shower pressure was also low meaning you spend some of the time stood under a luke warm trickle. The AC didn't work in my room, but as a plus, when I called reception about it, someone was there within minutes to fix it. As with most hotels in Nizwa, don't expect a bar of any description - not a criticism, just an observation.
