Tanuf Residency

Nizwa


With a sparkling white marble lobby and bright corridors, this hotel (refurbished in 2018) has had a complete overhaul. The result is a modern, well-run establishment with very comfortable rooms (with free tea and coffee) for budget prices. The top-floor restaurant is good enough for breakfast, and the excellent Turkish restaurant next door is perfect for supper.
