After reading the TA reviews I was extremely pleasantly surprised - this is a great hotel, and cannot understand the negative reviews. Admittedly the hotel is not a cosy, traditional type - but it is a very comfortable place with probably the biggest standard rooms I have stayed in. Great sleep quality, good bathroom with plenty of hot water, great... More

For this Eid al-Adha we stayed at Abha Palace hotel for three days. The hotel is situated in a picturesque location surrounded by rolling hills and winding roads. The hotel's glass and steel facade is very enchanting and a welcome departure from usual brick and mortar structure that we see in most hotels. Hotel's staff are very friendly and always... More

This is disappointed hotel made me count minutes to leave ... poor service, low quality, no good transportation. Abha City has wonderful nature and this hotel is located in a very nice location in the city with a fantastic view with mountain landscape, while temperature in most of Saudi Cities are +50 in summer , it' wouldn't exceed 30" there...

Not somewhere I would go unless someone else was paying. Everthing is on an industrial scale. Can't believe hotels charge for internet use in this day and age. More

The design of the hotel obviously focused on creating a feeling of spaciousness, the reception area and waiting lounges are absolutely huge! Executive Bedrooms are very comfortable. Food in the hotel is very good and the staff in the Restaurant are especially friendly and willing to help. The only downside is the charge for broadband, I don't know why hotels... More

Poor verging on rude service from significant number of employees. No tea/coffee etc facilities in rooms but room service the most expensive in Kingdom. Limited maintenance on rooms. Missing plugs, burnt/scorched lampshades. Breakfast very average - stale bread products, nasty coffee. Overall, very disappointing. Would have checked out early but Intercon not available. Look elsewhere! More

This hotel really is a must if you stay in Abha. Quite cheap especially if you compare value for money. Large rooms, all equiment/facilities are good maintained, excellent restaurant. Lobby is a lively place, no cold ambience as often in Saudi hotels. More

Hotel is typical Arabic style, so extremely huge lobby, big rooms, some arabic touches like lamps etc. Rooms are really huge, pretty OK in terms of the furniture with reasonable wear. Probably bathroom could be renovated as here the signs of aging are visible. Service in the hotel is reasonably good & quick. Breakfast OK, I would expect it might... More
