Al Diyar Hotel

超乎預期的一家酒店，各方面在阿曼同檔次酒店裡都比較好，工作人員服務熱情。

挺好的！！

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.

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.

Old style accommodation, but comfortable and clean. Plenty of toiletries but no rack in shower for soap. Sleep comfort was good although pillows were small and hard. Food was ok and there is a self serve coffee machine in the dining room. Room has a heater switch for the hot water system which we turned off by mistake during an initial flurry of checking light switches. Unlicenced venue but do not despair it is a comfortable 1km walk to Falaj Daris Hotel for alcohol relief.

We had a great stay at Al Diyar Hotel. It's an older hotel that appeared to host all types of travelers, including large tour groups. The staff was very kind and accommodating. Our room was clean and had everything that we needed. It's located outside of downtown Nizwa, but it's a short drive away. We had dinner at the hotel, which was good. Breakfast was great with many local and international options. The wi-fi worked well and parking was free. The price of the hotel was very fair for our stay. We had a great stay and would recommend this hotel to others.
