Great location”

My room, 204, was very spacious with a good view of Al Faisaliah Tower. Dining room staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with different choices of cereal, continental or Saudi cuisine. A good space downstairs, next to reception where you can sit and relax. The area also felt very safe to walk around alone at night as a solo, female traveller. Would definitely return.

Misconstruction”

price, service, fitness-center

I like´d staying at the Obaer, 'cause it's central and quiet. While my first two stays were very satisfactory the last one was less thrilling. The bath-room reminded me much of my caravan - the toilet being only 30cm away from the shower which does not have neither door nor curtain isolating it against the room. Hence taking a shower always ended up in a deluge, wet toilet seats etc...

Thry have 28sqm and 42sqm rooms and suites. I liked the 42sqm room but the AC is very noisy because it is not central. The whole hotel is smoking either in areas or rooms except 3rd floor. Staff specially thr Saudis are so good. The location is good but you need a car to buy some food or go to grocery or pharmacy. The price is high but it is cheaper online. Enjoy the stay.
