My bottom line for this hotel is that they have skyscraper construction just next to them. Even numbered rooms are adjacent to the construction site. Construction seems to be continued for at least a year more. They are digging the deep foundation now. Summer time for humidity and temperature as i understand that the construction happens on the night time which is a nightmare for guests. Orher vise hotels location is nice but some the staff specially front desk people seems overwhelmed and acting not hospitable. We booked for 2 adults and 1 kid but they said they have only baby bed not a folding bed even though we mentioned his age of 7 before booking. Overall avoid summer time which construction might happen at night. Winter time if you wake up late 9-10 bear with the noise. Management hiked up prices on booking websites not to ruin their rating on those website but on hotels website it is much cheaper . Until this anomally normalize means construction is still ongoing! Overall location is good , hotel clean, breakfast is ok. Managemenet specially front desk poeple needs to be improved.

Good points - 1. Good location. Walking distance to Kingdom Centre/mall. 2. Good breakfast selection 3. Comfortable pillow/bed 4. Clean. Bad points - 1. On check in, no instructions were given for breakfast time/location and WiFi connection. 2. Room phone just for show. Tried to call reception to ask for WiFi login instructions. No dial tone at all. Had to go down to reception to ask in person. 3. Room aircon temp fluctuating. Does not keep to thermostat temp that you set. Totally failed to ON on 3rd day. Ask to repair and got working again. But fluctuations. 4. Construction site right beside hotel. Noisy. On Saturday night the hacking continued until 4am! Was awoken every hour.
