At the entrance the hotel was OK but the lobby furniture is out dated and old.
The staff at reception speak some English but they make no eye contact and speak very little.
When It came to payment, the hotel had no system to pay by card so I had go out and look for Cash machine, as it was my first time and late at night and prayer time it was not easy to find a cash machine, so it was first disappointment.
I had booked a queen bed for myself and wife and three single beds room for my three children but I was given five single beds.
When we looked at bed the pillow covers and bed cover had not been changed as it still had marks and broken hair on it, it was changed later when I complained about it.
The carpet in the room had stains and iron marks. No tea pot , no glass for water in the room, contacted reception, I was directed to service no 4, requested them to supply tea pot , iron a few times but never delivered.
The bathroom have small shower place with a curtain which take ages to be adjusted so that the water stay in the shower tray.
You can not use room phone for external phone call and If you ask at reception they refuse to help you with a taxi booking. I was getting late for Jeddah airport and I did not have local phone number so was literally begging the reception staff to ring my taxi as it was very late for the scheduled time but they pretended to be helpless..
The breakfast was good and well organised. And during our three days stay we enjoyed it every day.
