On our trip, driving from Cape Town to London, instead of being able to drive through Saudi as planned, we were told on arrival, that right hand steering vehicles are not alowed on roads. Saudi has been the biggest problem of our whole trip and an expensive one as we have been forced to send the car by carrier onto the Jordan border.
We booked into the Trident and have had no problems with the hotel. Staff friendly, mainly from Parkistan & India. Rooms very nice. Free wi-fi.

This is a hotel in the centre of Jeddah but could definitely be better what with the travellers to the Holy Places and Airlines staff frequenting the hotel. Entrance is not good as the Reception Lobby is on the first floor and only a porter may or may not greet you at the entrance. Rooms were roomy and good. Food was also good. However, charges could have been reduced by a few dollars.

Memorable Stay, Hotel is located on Mina Road, near the main highway leading directly to Holy Makkah and has close proximity to the busy shopping malls of the Balad area, the Industrial Zone and the Islamic Port of Jeddah.

Unless the Hotel is renovated and new services added this Hotel is sure to lose many of its customers. The place looks worn out and aged. Carpets are dirty and service is tardy. More like a budget hotel than a graded one!!!
