Pros:

Hi team,

Could you please provide an update on the refund? It has now been over a month, and I have not received any amount.

Frankly, I’m quite disappointed with the level of service and the slow communication on this matter. This could have been resolved on the same day with a cash settlement, yet it has remained pending for a month.

Please treat this as urgent and confirm when the refund will be processed.

Cons:

the communication from staff end

Want spicy breakfast, eat here. If you don’t, book somewhere else.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Breakfast was very poor.
Added spice on most of the cooked food, not for Westerner taste at all. If I wanted spiced food, I’d ask for it. Easier to add, impossible to remove.

The only thing that wasn’t spiced was the eggs and bread.

Great cooked food choice. Not really. This was also over Ramadan.

I won’t be recommending or staying again.

Pros:

كل شئ ممتاز للغاية عدا الاسعار
اسعار الاكل مبالغ فيه بشكل كبير جدا ارقام فلكية
سعر الغرفة مرتفع حيث كان سعر الغرفة مبلغ 548 ريال + سعر وجبة العشاء 356 = 904 ريال
هذا الرقم لاقامة ليوم واحد مبالغ فيه بشكل كبير للغاية

Cons:
