Homestays in Al Ḩamrāʼ

The warm hospitality here was excellent! We had a very comfortable two-day stay. Lovely views from the rooftop, where it’s set up for enjoying the surrounds with tables/chairs. Easy parking; walking distance to the ruins of the old village, the museum and the wadi/palm grove. Great aircon and wifi. Highly recommended!

We had high expectations and were not disappointed. Wonderful feeling of hospitality and a bonus to be greeted by 3 lively dogs. The host was very friendly and accommodating and answered all our questions for the trip to Jabal al Akhdar the next day. Al Hamra village is not to be missed. A very nice museum nearby is not to be missed, exceptional staff showed us around an old house and life in former times. All in all a wonderful time in Al Hamra and Bait Al Aali

What a special treat to stay in very traditional accommodation in the old city of Al Hamra. Beautifully restored. Appreciated the ability to make coffee.

After a sudden change of plans, I chose the 228Hostel to stay for a couple of nights, mainly to do the Jabal Shams Balcony Walk. I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this stay so much! Mahmoud and Marita are amazing hosts, they were helpful and fun to talk to. They organized a nice dinner along with other guests staying one night. It is very refreshing to hear the stories and experiences from all of them. The views from the room and the rooftop are amazing. I highly recommend!

Very Nice neat & clean room. Very friendly & helpful person Mr. Ahmed to all tourists defenetly. Silent place Big room Very neat Friendly Good guide for tourists...

Having visited the Misfah al Abriyyin several times previously, I returned after five years absence. The village has adapted rather well to increasing demand from tourism and retains the unspoilt and genuine feel that has caused me to return time and time again. Roghan Hospitality Inn has spring up since my last visit and I initially chose it for its location. This hotel is the uppermost building in the village, and I would wager and arm and a leg against anyone who does not agree that it presently holds the best location of all the inns in the village. It overlooks both the entire old village and its orchards as well as the surprisingly scenic new village. The hotel is modern and has all the comforts I am looking for in a hotel. Good bed - not too soft and not too hard. A useful desk, sensible placement of power sockets; good WiFi; good A/C; decent water pressure in the shower; simple and problem free check-in. It also has big windows, allowing me to enjoy the view, a couple of deep chairs, and a big TV that I didn't use but that my son undoubtedly would have considered the most important feature of the hotel. Both dinner and breakfast were very good and used local ingredients. Both the hotelier himself and his staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The proprietor was a singularly likable fellow and was interesting to talk to. The big thing in Misfah, though, is not sitting in the hotel but walking around and getting a feel for the oasis life. To this end, the owner gave up his morning to walk around the orchards with me, a most pleasant experience - at least for me :-) I was initially worried that I would have trouble getting there by my ridiculously small car, a two-wheel driven Suzuki Dzire, but it turned out to be no problem at all. The private access road to the hotel was quite convenient as it bypassed the customary parking problems that I have experienced in the past.

Really special accomodation in an old traditional mud house. Therefor please do not expect an 5 star ressort. Anyhow, tea, coffee and water is provided. Every room has a fridge snd AC and there is a communal area inside and on the roof top. Definately worth staying a night in the middle of Old Al Hamra.

Great location for doing Jabal Shams balcony walk home. The host/owner was very nice and let me keep my things in the room until next day so that I could come after the hike and have a shower (which I did around 2-3 pm).

Location: beautiful site in the middle of the date palms. Go up to the roof to look across the tree canopy towards the mountains. Walk late in the evening or early in the morning along the surrounding paths and roads. Explore the ruins of the Old Hamra. Very peaceful. The building is a great example of traditional mud brick construction.

Awesome, unique place to stay! You must visit it. Staff is very friendly
