Nima guest house

Clean, good aircon, excellent location, lovely cat and staff

Nothing

The location was great for pretty much everything, but for a decent supermarket. There is a smaller one very close by, albeit with a limited choice. I stayed in a dormitory, which was only open as things are a bit quiet in Oman right now, what with the weather and war. But it was fine. During busier times, there must be quite the vibe in the hostel.

I wish the owners had more practical information which they could share with guests. Such as all the approximate bus schedules, the best places to change money, the taxi options & procedures, the car rental companies, the fort opening & closing hours, the goat market information. You know, the kind of local knowledge that assists the guests. Oman can be a very awkward country to travel around, especially if using public transport. I had initially intended to rent a car from Nizwa, but after all the hassles, I eventually gave up.

Gefallen hat uns die Lage des Guesthouses nahe am Zentrum, der sehr freundliche, unaufdringliche und hilfreiche Gastgeber, der uns mit Gepäck, Auto und Empfehlungen half. Die bereitgestellten Getränke und Datteln im Frühstückshof haben gut getan. Gefallen hat uns auch das Mückengitter am Fenster so dass wir von Plagegeistern verschont geblieben sind.

Weniger gut fanden wir die Lage unseres Zimmers, das direkt am Eingang lag, und an dem alle anderen Gäste mehr oder weniger geräuschvoll vorbeistapften.

I loved how close the guesthouse was to Nizwa fort; just 5 minutes walking distance! It is still in a quiet part of town and there was a lot of parking across the street. The host was very nice, kind, and responsive. The room and building was very clean and inviting.

The only thing I didn't like was that I stayed only one night. I will absolutely come here again if I visit Nizwa in the future!
