Top Nizwa Hotel Reviews
Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa by IHG
"Our stay was excellent. Such a beautiful property and well kept resort. I would highly recommend!"
Alila Jabal Akhdar, Oman
"Everything was clean"
Golden Tulip Nizwa Hotel
"The hotel is excellently maintained with everything shinning clean. The staff are very helpful particularly the receptionists at the front desk. There's a really beautiful pool surrounded by lovely trees and shrubbery and little birds fly down to take sips of water during the hot weather. ๐ฆ ๐ฆโโฌ One suggestion might be to ask staff to close room doors quietly after they've finished cleaning rooms as I was woken from a pleasant reverie by loud banging sounds on several occasions during my wonderful stay."
Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort
"Everything was good, pool staff need to be better trained and with better and more convenient service"
Nizwa Hotel Apartments

FALAJ DARIS HOTEL
"Very comfortable rooms set around pretty courtyards - one with a lovely pool and another where we ate breakfast and dinner. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the food was good. It was pleasant to be able to get a glass of wine or a cocktail- rare in Oman"
