City Residence

A good place for a quick overnight stay with the family, as always.

The staff were friendly and let us check in early, which was a nice touch. There’s private parking as well as convenient street parking, though some of the furnishings are worn and could do with an update. We booked a day ahead and paid 435 SAR for a two-room apartment with a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a dining area. It suited a family or group well. The rooms were neat and clean, and the indoor pool is great. Just be aware that each booking gets only one key card, and it has to be returned at checkout. Comfortable overall, with room for improvement.

Everything was close by, from restaurants and the mall to a gas station. Our peaceful, relaxing stay was in a suite with two rooms, two T&B, two balconies, a sala, and a working kitchen with utensils, a microwave, and a mini fridge. Amazing, thank you!

The room was huge and clean, but a lot of things made the stay frustrating. The beds sagged in the middle and weren’t comfortable, the bathrooms looked very old and weren’t clean, and the carpet made my skin itch. There weren’t any parking spots when we arrived late at night. We also had no room cards, so we had to call reception to send someone to open the doors. That was inconvenient and impractical. I asked reception about the Wi-Fi and was told it was open with no password, but when I searched in the room it required one. I couldn’t go out and back in because I didn’t have a key card. Very annoying.
