Cons:

It was during graduation days, I think they were a little overwhelmed (missing items in bathroom, room prepared unevenly depending on the days).

تجربة جيده
Pros:

الغرفة مساحتها ممتازه ، النظافه كذلك ممتازه
والموقع اكثر من رائع

Cons:

الموظفه التي في الاستقبال (من اصول شرق اسيويه)عندما طلبت تأخير تسجيل الخروج بعد الساعه ١٢
لم يكن اسلوبها جيد في الرفض علما ان زملاءي تعاملو مع شخص اخر بعدي و اعطاهم الى الساعه ١ الظهر و اعتذر بطريقه لبقه جدا لان الفندق كان محجوز تقريبا كل الغرف
ولكن اللباقه و محاولة المساعده لم اجدها مع الموظفه
خاصة اني عضو هيلتون (اعتقد اني احتاج اراجع ولائي لفنادق هيلتون)

Pros:

The place is very convenient.

Cons:

We asked for a big taxi for 6 persons, and the hotel reception sent a very small taxi which confused us. We had to wait for another one which made us almost miss the train.

Very good
Pros:

Breakfast and location

Cons:

I didn’t like that the windows in the room could not be opened to allow fresh air in, especially since it’s a room where guests sleep.

Uitstekend hotel, midden in het centrum
Pros:

Valetservice! We kwamen voor met de auto en ze parkeren de auto voor je. We hadden een kamer met 4 personen en dat kan als je de hele dag buiten bent. Personeel is internationaal en heel behulpzaam. Mooie lobby, uitstekend ontbijt.

Cons:

Onze familiekamer lag aan het einde van de gang, vlakbij de goederenlift en de ruimtes voor housekeeping. Dat gaf ‘s avonds laat en in de ochtend veel lawaai.
