Al Smou Hotel Apartement

Although this is clearly a simple budget class hotel, it is obvious the proprietors go an extra mile to make your stay as homey and comfortable as possible. The rooms are plain but spacious and clean and you find in the room everything you may need down to things like shawing and sewing kits! The breakfast buffet is another example, where although it would not compete with Ritz in terms of number of offered items or presentational glamour, it had all the essentials (scrambled egg, sausages, potatoes, a few cold items) and each one of them was simple yet fresh and delicious in homemade style. So we felt really like staying at friends home: no fuss or bells and wistles, but all comfortable and very sincere. The hotel has ample parking in front and good WiFi as well. It is located slightly outside of the Nizwa city proper but with own car you are in easy reach of all attractions. Also Nizwa Mall is just 5 min drive from the hotel and actually is surprisingly large and well appointed for a small city, so it is a good and convenient stop for some travel shopping or grabbing some different meals in their food court or letting kids to play a bit in a Fun City there (including ice rink!). So overall very happy with our stay at Al Karam Hotel and visiting Nizwa and would highly recommend.

We booked a 2-bedroom apartment here and it was nice, clean and well maintained. Our booking had breakfast included which was ok and we stayed here for 1 night only. The location was nice and quiet and had a good mountain view from our bedrooms. Lulu and Carrefour are only 10 minutes away if you are looking to buy foods of your choice and also, we had dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Apartment is comfy and clean. Location is convenient. Staff are very hospitable and helpful. I just found the bathroom uncomfortable. The shower wasn't working properly and water splashes everywhere because there isn't shower glass or curtains around the bath tub.
