Prime Almina

This hotel needs a good renovation. Many things are unavailable or not working - the television did not work. Just not a lot of accomodations. Lacking were many of the items in your room that you expect from a nice hotel - laundry bag, extra towels. The rooms were unkept and room service trays were left in the hall for 2 days. The odor from the sewer rises through the toilet and creates a terrible smell in the bathroom. Worst of all, on my floor it was very noisy and people yelling at 1 and 2 AM. On the plus side, the staff is friendly enough and willing to try to make it better. I had higher expectations for the owners of this property.

For 2 nights we had to stay in Jeddah, not too far from the university and we chose this new hotel. We decided to take our chance and book the room right at the reception of the hotel. The receptionist was not in a good mood, was unhelpful, couldn't give any discount (which is okay), but was rude with his remark that 'if we didn't like it, we could look for another hotel'... REALLY? (As if we didn't know it). Luckily for him that I didn't hear that, so we decided to check the room, and it was fantastic. Amenities were good, location good, view okay. Anyway, the price was good, so we decided to stay. Breakfast was great, they prepare something for you on demand, enough choice; check-out was fine too with another receptionist.

Wir haben ein sehr komfortables Zimmer bekommen, modern eingerichtet, mit Sitzecke und Küchenzeile. Leider ist der Rest des Hotels weniger gepflegt. Der Fitnessraum ist geschlossen, dass Schwimmbad ungepflegt auf dem Dach. Richtig gestört hat uns der Zimmerservice: jeden Tag mussten wir nachhaken, dass beispielsweise die Handtücher ersetzt werden, die Teller abgeräumt werden, …. Das Frühstück ist richtig gut. Das Hotel liegt an ein sehr starkt befahrenen Straße und es ist sehr laut.

L'hotel è confortevole con ampie camere, pulite e dotate dei confort necessari. Il personale è molto cordiale e disponibile. Colazione in camera abbastanza buona. Prezzo corretto. L'unica nota negativa è che i torno non c'è veramente nulla e bisogna per forza muoversi con il taxi o Uber
