The room comfort and overall experience fall making it unsuitable for longer stays
Pros:

The hotel location and lobby are very nice and give a luxurious first impression, and the reception staff are welcoming.

Cons:

The comfort of the room is very poor. The room design is not practical, and there are constant noises coming from the ceiling, which makes it difficult to relax. In addition, the air conditioning unit produces a loud and disturbing noise when turned on, which further affects comfort. The view from the windows is also disappointing and forces you to keep the curtains closed, leaving the room feeling like a closed box with no natural light.

The minibar was empty, and basic amenities were lacking. There were not enough towels in the bathroom and insufficient toilet paper.

In addition, the room does not provide a proper desk or chair, which makes it unsuitable for anyone who needs to work during their stay. Overall, the room experience is very disappointing. It may be acceptable if you spend most of your time outside and only return for sleeping and showering, but it is not suitable for guests planning to spend extended time in the room, especially for work purposes.

Regarding the breakfast, given the value paid, rating it 1/10 is louder than any feedback!

Moreover, and although the hotel location and lobby are very nice and give a luxurious first impression, and the reception staff are welcoming, but once inside, the overall atmosphere feels more like a furnished apartment building than a hotel, lacking a true hotel ambiance.

Pros:

The staff was great, Ghala was such a sweetheart as well as the other ladies, but I didn't remember their names.

Cons:

The room was a bit small, and I paid the same price for the actual suite. When i landed in Saudi and checked booking.com for the same night, the suite's price was exactly the same as I paid for the single room 2 beds. I could have gotten an upgrade for the same price.
