The Hotel is 30 min away from the International airport by taxi (around 15 SAR). The hotel looks safe with Police people at the entrance and the lbby is huge and good looking. Personnel is avaialble and kind and always smiling. I got th eupgradign of my room and the entrance to the Executive lounge because of Hilton Gold member. The room was not the best good looking room for an Hilton but clean and with all standard Hilton comforts. They still have the YHilton old beauty products line in the rooms. Breakfast was good and with a large n,. of choices and they also offer homemeade belgian waffles which is not the same 100% of times as Hilton. The hotel is 3 min walking away from the sea side where you can walk safe during the evening. The executive lounge is comfortable and spacious and the view on the sea is amazing. The Gym is very good, one of the best I have visited until now in the hotels. Good hotel for Jeddah, price is average price for Hilton.

My first trip to Saudi and my they know how to look after you and treat you well.

Right from pick up at the airport to checking out, i didn't have a single grievance.

Food - On point, the buffet caters to everyones taste, so many dishes available its so difficult to choose. Food is hot and top quality with the option of many restaurants on the ground floor.

Service - You get treated like a king and they make you feel like you're the only one staying there

Rooms - Very plush, you can tell a lot of money was spent on the decor, furniture and ambience. Top grade stuff.

Price - Hefty but well worth it.

GYM - Stacked, all equipments under the sun and in top nick too. They have a bowling alley, swimming pool and sauna to boot, all underground.

Location - About 35 minutes drive from the airport.

Verdict - Will one hundred per cent come back and stay, even if i can't have a tipple!

Very good hotel, rooms were very clean and tidy. Business areas were secluded allowing you to work outside of your room if you wanted to. Great views overlooking the Red Sea.
Swimming pool area was very clean and secluded with pool temperature spot on.

Good location (yet away from center) - attention - in January 2012 there is still construction going on (for the beach side). Staff at front desk not at level for this kind of hotel. Hence, rooms are clean and fairly big, In the same building there are two hotels...
If you need a taxi get it from the street. At the hotel you will only and exclusively get limousine from hotel (more expensive). But if you take from the street negotiate price before entering.
