Red Sea Palace

One of the weirdest hotel I have ever been to. The decoration and set up is so strange.. the left was covered with unusually strange looking wall paper. No air con in it. We booked. a double room we got stuff for a single occupancy. No toilet paper, no one came to clean my room while I was away. The room condition was so poor. Curtain and blind were broken and to close the curtain I used my hair clips. The wall were mouldy, one of the strange things is the toilet door doesn’t close and this impossible to six as it hitting a wall when closing. The communal area have unusually strange furniture. The bed and the mattress are very taller and you have to jump in it and jump of it as it it might cause an accident. The only good thing is the reception lady who met me on arrival was nice. But the overall experience was not good at all. I was visiting Ed by a couple of friend and relatives and they also said it’s a weird hotel. I don’t understand how Expedia consider this good. I booked this as I trusted Expedia as I always have good experiences but sadly not this time .. cheers

Average hotel

Complete rip off, extremely expensive, no cafe or restaurant, closed for 1 y for renovation but looks worse than before. Had hole on the ceiling, only the shell of the smoke detector on the ceiling, no cafe or restaurant, shockingly not much available in the area anymore. It is close to the Historical Center but a lot of boards raised signing restaurations ( yet nothing done after 1 y since I visited last ) . So location is not an advantage anymore. Poor customer care, no remote control in the room, the tv wasn’t even set, no brochure or numbers list for contact in the room. If you needed anything, you had to go downstairs. The only thing that change , it smells nice , before you could feel a musky and tobacco smell when you return into your room after few hours AC been off. Bed was nice , but pillows to hard and bulky so the neck was very uncomfortable.

Excellent location by the Al-Balad district
