Good location, suitable for business trips

Good: Good environment, new hotel (lots of staff, there are always people [the reception staff look like native Saudis, it is very expensive to invite such people to work], it is very close to the ancient city, and there is a Sarmad next to it The restaurant is very famous. Bad: 1. It looks very luxurious at first glance, but the inside is not very good. For example, when taking a shower, the water can't stop the water from flowing out, making half of the room full of water, and I feel irritable. I don't know if this is the case in other rooms. There are also rough workmanship such as room painting, which is at most the level of a three-star hotel. 2. The breakfast is the same every day, even if you don’t finish it on the first day, you can only continue to eat the leftovers from the first day the next day. When I saw it, I was taken aback! But there is no breakfast shop near this attraction, so we can only make do with it Suggestion: There are no good hotels next to this ancient city. It is recommended to book a day and leave. There are as many better hotels in the city as you want 😌

Good location, near Longcheng

Not bad 😅…. . .

This hotel needs a good renovation. Many things are unavailable or not working - the television did not work. Just not a lot of accomodations. Lacking were many of the items in your room that you expect from a nice hotel - laundry bag, extra towels. The rooms were unkept and room service trays were left in the hall for 2 days. The odor from the sewer rises through the toilet and creates a terrible smell in the bathroom. Worst of all, on my floor it was very noisy and people yelling at 1 and 2 AM. On the plus side, the staff is friendly enough and willing to try to make it better. I had higher expectations for the owners of this property.

For 2 nights we had to stay in Jeddah, not too far from the university and we chose this new hotel. We decided to take our chance and book the room right at the reception of the hotel. The receptionist was not in a good mood, was unhelpful, couldn't give any discount (which is okay), but was rude with his remark that 'if we didn't like it, we could look for another hotel'... REALLY? (As if we didn't know it). Luckily for him that I didn't hear that, so we decided to check the room, and it was fantastic. Amenities were good, location good, view okay. Anyway, the price was good, so we decided to stay. Breakfast was great, they prepare something for you on demand, enough choice; check-out was fine too with another receptionist.

We got a very comfortable room, modernly furnished, with a seating area and kitchenette. Unfortunately, the rest of the hotel is less well-maintained. The fitness room is closed, the swimming pool on the roof is neglected. The room service really bothered us: every day we had to ask that, for example, the towels were replaced, the plates cleared, .... The breakfast is really good. The hotel is on a very busy road and it is very noisy.
