Bram Hotel Suites

It’s about 15 minutes from Jeddah Airport, and the clean rooms and good service make it fine for a quick overnight stay. But the facilities need serious attention. The gym felt unsafe, with broken cables and torn seats, and kids from the pool were playing on the equipment. The pool water wasn’t clean, Wi-Fi was weak on the 6th floor, and the shower was rusted and leaking. The buffet had no fruit. The food itself was okay, but small details were missing. With some effort, this place could reach star-level standards. I wouldn’t expect much from the amenities.

Bram Hotel is a 4-star aparthotel in Jeddah’s Al-Safa district, not too far from King Abdul Aziz International Airport (KAIA). It offers an outdoor pool, a gym, and rooms with fully equipped kitchens.

The location worked well, close to fast food places and grocery stores. Staff were very helpful and did their best to meet our requests. The continental breakfast had some variety and was about the quality you’d expect. Our room was spacious and had enough amenities, but there weren’t many towels. You have to ask for the room to be cleaned and the beds remade. A washing machine and dryer would have been useful.

We enjoyed our overnight stay in the royal double room. It was big and cozy, with a fully equipped kitchen, and there was enough room for 10 pax. The pool was disappointing, though. The water looked stagnant and seemed not to have been replaced for quite some time. Nobody else was using it when we went, so we had more privacy. In general, the stay was fun and fulfilling.
