This atmospheric lodging, located in old Al Hamra, offers a chance to experience the usually hidden interior of Al Hamra's famous tall buildings. Saved from crumbling to dust, the hotel is the project of four local lads and comprises traditional rooms with mattresses on the floor and beds in the cosy basement. The rooftop view of the surrounding plantations is splendid.
