Al Misfah Hospitality Inn

I've been to a few places, 70 plus countries and can legitimately claim to have "got the T shirt" when it comes to travelling. Big head - well yes. But my point is made in this instance NOT to brag but to "big up" and illustrate what goes down for me as one of the best hotel/inns of its type ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. And that is down to the vision, passion, belief of the amazing owner Abdullah who now officially is my new best friend and brother. Entering the old town through an old wooden arch way was a step back in time. The old village clinging to the side of the rock face with newly restored houses and small hotels everywhere around. The warmest of welcomes greeted us from the Reception manager who kindly showed us to our room via the old internal house steps and pictures of HM King Charles on the wall from his previous two visits to this part of Oman. The Terrace on the third floor offered superb views over a Garden of Eden, a view I'll never forget. Then up again to the restaurant area with even better vistas over the old town. A small flight of stairs lead us to our modern bedroom built with care and a nod to the 400 year old main house. Inside all the luxuries of a 5 star hotel. In traditional Omani custom, coffee and dates were served and we realised that the AMHI was a very special place. But the best was yet to come. Abdullah, the owner. This former military man cares about his family, village and wider community. He wants to help protect Al Misfah for future generations and without doubt he will achieve this objective. Funny, charamatic, informative, knowledgable, kind, generous - I am all of these, but in this instance I am of course talking about Abdullah, who will, I hope be my guest should he ever come to the UK. He spent so much time sharing his historical knowledge, where to go, what to do and even booked us a restaurant for my wife's birthday at a mates restaurant in Nizwa. This man is a legend. Any criticism? To be picky the food whilst very good and plentiful perhaps was a bit "samey" on the two nights we were there. But look, this isn't about the food. It's about the virtual spiritual experience guests get from staying at this wonderful Omani Inn. You really won't find better anywhere in the World. Trust me, I have that T shirt remember. Thank you Abdullah, your new best friend - مارك

From Abdullah’s warm welcome to the well garnished and authentic buffet on the view terrace, we loved our stay in Misfah and only wished we could have stayed an extra night. Spacious room with high ceiling. Central location easily accessible from the main road and just off the oasis walk. Highly recommended.

The Old Misfah Hospitality Inn was lovely and clean with a great view. Abdullah is such an amazing host - he makes this place special. Check in / check out was quick and easy everything is ready for you. Reception (Abdullah) is helpful and welcoming. Bedrooms Every bed was comfy, with clean bedding and towels. Bathroom All the bathrooms were clean and perfectly suitable for the needs of a family. Location Perfect in every way, amazing views, walks & souvenirs. Parking Can be difficult if it’s busy but just be patient, the village is not suitable for cars so you need to park at public parking and walk 2 minutes. Food Varied range of food, salads, hummus, breads, chicken, curry, fish, rice. Breakfast eggs, daal, bread, beans, hummus, breads, salads, cereal, toast. Lots of team coffee available throughout the day. Galleria The visit to the museum was lovely, so much information and interesting talk. They are so proud of their heritage and it’s lovely to see. We booked 2 rooms and Abdullah kindly gave us a extra room for free, he felt sorry for my teenage son who was very happy with his kind caring gesture 🥰 We would definitely stay again, thank you so much. See you again soon 🙏🏻
