Al Hamra Old House

We were thinking and wanted to spend one night in one of those old, renovated houses. It was one of them in this area. Just besides and behind you have a lot of old buildings, mostly ruins. Generally all was OK, you can park besides hotel. Pillows were too hard but I saw in other room soft so it was probably a matter of asking for.

don't arrive too late if you want to be able to select your room as not all are the same. Due to a mistake we arrived late and one of the two rooms booked has been given to somebody else. The owner came to apologies and found a solution to help for the first night. If you can book the rooms at the first floor (more light). ground floor or first floor you will enjoy a traditional room with a typical bath room. However no shutter available =＞ you will also enjoy the morning light and the noise from the street

This guesthouse is on the edge of the historic center of Al Hamra, in a restored old Omani house, and faces another hotel, in similar condition. Most of the rest of the historic center hasn't yet been restored, but it's hoped that in a short time it will follow the itinerary of this house. As a consequence of this adaptation, the rooms of the guesthouse are rather cramped, but still equipped with all the essentials, even in the bathroom. And above all, the style of the rooms is captivating: I point out, for example, the beams repainted in the original colours. Due to lack of common areas, the guesthouse doesn't serve breakfast. However, it is equipped with a roof terrace, with tables and chairs, which is well suited to meals; and there we actually ate dinner, ordered at a nearby eatery. Bill for one overnight stay, of an equivalent of 226 euros for ten people, therefore moderate. In conclusion, in our travels in Oman we have encountered more comfortable accommodations, but not more characteristic ones.
