This is a good choice just about 15 minutes by cab from airport(10€/42 riyals). Dramatic lobby with soaring roof and panoramic elevator. Nice spacious room, high ceilings, easy-to-control air conditioning. Super comfortable mattress and pillows. Hot water boiler for free tea+instant coffee (no pod-coffee machine), two free bottled waters. We had to call down to get them to open the minibar and it took half an hour for someone to come up. (Sodas almost 6 €, beers over 10€). Huge shower over 1 meter wide! Points off for confusing internet logon instructions (don't choose "free login" choose "hotel guest". Then choose the free package.) and TV intro promising free breakfast, free welcome drink, newspapers, shuttle(actually 20 riyals for us, per person- 4.5€) none of which we were entitled to. The neighborhood is pretty much unwalkable due to lack of crosswalks, sidewalks, construction, but taxis are cheap and you could walk 10 minutes to Pizza Hut etc. Also the hotel has dining options. There's a great grocery store Al Safeer a 15-minute walk away. Staff was very pleasant and easy check-in/check-out.Highly recommended, although I hope they look at their TV presentation and wifi login from a guest's perspective and make the appropriate clarifications.
