Recommended due to being close to the centre but what a mistake! Traffic is a nightmare during rush hour which lasts some 3 hours morning and evening and the hotel is on the main road.

Upon organising a taxi from the hotel we were charged SR 100 while the quality of the taxu was extremely bad. The taxi was at least 20 years old and smelled awful.... More

-I was given a smoking room although I requested a non smoking so I think this affected my whole evaluation as I could smell bad odour in everything around me from towels- sheets- to furniture! - The Gym was great - Break fast not bad but Salmon did not smell too fresh - Price OK as I was on corporate...
