Hotel berhampiran Salama center, Jeddah

I stayed here for two nights and found it to be good value, especially considering how expensive Saudi Arabia can be. Jeddah is a sprawling city that kind of lacks a centre, with everywhere only being accessible by car, therefore the location is as good as it can be really. There was a street with some restaurants and a small supermarket about a 15 minute walk away, although it was sometimes a bit tricky to cross the busy highway. The staff at check-in were very friendly and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable, shower hot and powerful and wifi strong. Only critiques would be that there is a lack of plug sockets by the bed and the plug in the bathroom didn’t fit properly, meaning the water drained out easily, both very minor issues. Overall I’d recommend this hotel and would stay again if I were to return to Jeddah.

Very friendly, welcomeing, helpful and professional staff. This hotel has got great potential to be a good 4* hotel. I like that there was a Sauidi coffee to try for free when you enter the hotel with some delicious dates. Room was big and clean. Breakfast OK. Swimming pool and Gym OK- there are separate days for men and other days for women. Location is a bit far from centre 15 min by car. Afew things should be looked at: I have booked a nonsmoking room. Check-in was quick but I was given a smoking room with no working telephone nor working air-conditioning. I went down stairs and receptionist did her best to find a nonsmoking one. But, I had to check in too late and around 16:10 I managed to get into my room. There were no towels in room and I had again to chase this. Telephone did not work again and this didn't bother me. Cleaning room: cleaner did not come during my three nights stay but this was a big deal for me.

The Aluya Hotel is situated in the Al Hamra area of Jeddah and a perfect position for getting around both in a taxi or walking. The location is very close to Palestine Street which is full of shops, cafes and restaurants and leads to the middle corniche. As soon as I entered the hotel I was impressed. There was a beautiful aroma in the air and the entrance way and ground floor area well presented. I have to say that a stand out for me about this hotel is definitely the staff. They are all delightful, welcoming and eager to make your stay the best it can be. I would like to thank all the staff but in particular Naif, Nadia, Samar and Ahmed Bin Afif (the owner). They are clearly all working hard to make this hotel the best it can be. The facilities of the hotel are superb. I reserved a deluxe king room and on arrival for one night I was upgraded to the executive suite. What a wonderful treat that was. The hotel thoughtfully provides all the traveller may need. There are nice toiletries, a hairdryer, tea/coffee and water, good air conditioning, entertainment and if required an iron on request. The rooms are exactly like the pictures on the hotel website. The king sized bed was wonderfully comfortable and I was afforded a nice view from the room. My room was at the front of the hotel. Breakfast was included and was served on the 6th floor. The choice was very good. They have traditional breakfast items and then also continental breakfast items. There is plenty of tea and coffee and juice to accompany the breakfast and the restaurant is really pleasant and provides a fantastic view. They also encourage guests to visit this area of the hotel at other times of the day to enjoy tea or coffee. While I was there I was served Saudi Arabian coffee by Hamid. He took the time to explain to me how the coffee was made and it tasted delicious. All in all I cannot recommend this hotel enough. If you are looking for a hotel in a great area, with really nice facilities, at a very reasonable price and that is staffed by wonderful people, look no further than The Aluya.

If you are allergic to smoke or a non smoker don't come near this hotel. In fact the rooms smell is very bad as it seems the sanitary system may be faulty. This may be why they keep spraying freshners which makes it even worse for allergic people. And when I asked to change the room Abdulrahman said he doesn't have vacant rooms although another guest came later and was given choice of rooms

I spent a weekend there during the month Of March. Hotel is nicely located - quiet district although it is hard sometimes to find a suitable car parking - hotel parking is full and same goes for the surrounding Room is spacious - I have booked an executive suite 2 bedrooms- it is perfectly suitable for a family of 4 Cozy Restaurant - matching with hotel size- breakfast buffet was included in the price. Variety is OK Lobby is a bit small, they have a fitness with a covered swimming pool - tiny one - Building apparently is old… furniture in rooms , lobby & restaurants are exhausted and need to be changed Overall the hotel with its prices & services is worth to stay I do recommend it for families I’ll come back again

Overall hotel is very good and location is excellent as everything is nearby as convenient store - hyper market - laundry and bank as well But they need to improve on room service as there is bit language problem Overall stay -- 4/5 Thanks

1. I had european devices. No converters were available . This was my 3rd hotel in ksa and the onlz one that didnt have converter. The reception tried to work the problem out, sent me a technician who made a temp solition for one device but honesyly this was so bad . Not having converter 2. While being out i tried to contact the reception many times as i needed to ask about atms around . It was after midnight, 5 times i called and nobodz replied 3. The hotel is very far away from jeddah center 4. Room is cold even though weather is hot and ac i turned off. 5. I went to 3 hotels as said in 10 days in ksa, this is the least i enjoyed. 6. I honestly wouldnt consider coming ti this hotel again although the staff are so friendly but i had the impression that when i needed support , nothing happened . But the people's attitude was friendly to be honest but at the end of the day i wouldnt come again
