Guest Reviews
Location
The hotel's design, reflecting the southern part of Saudi Arabia, alongside its cleanliness and comfort, receives high praise from visitors. Many highlight the unique room décor and tranquil atmosphere, which contribute to a peaceful stay. The hotel's facilities, including free parking and an easy walk to the beach, add to its appeal. Accessibility is a notable feature with easy access to major highways and essential services nearby.
Overall, Shada Hotel's combination of a prime location, pleasing design and excellent amenities makes it a highly recommended choice for anyone visiting Jeddah.
Breakfast
However, many guests felt that the breakfast options were limited and could benefit from more variety. Several reviews pointed out that the buffet, though satisfactory in quality, became repetitive and could improve in both diversity and quality. There were also mentions of the breakfast being delayed at times and some guests were disappointed that breakfast was not included or was priced rather high for what was offered.
Guests staying during Ramadan shared mixed feelings with some appreciating the simple but well-arranged Ramadan breakfast, while others wished for more variety.
Overall, while the breakfast at Shada Hotel is often described as good or delicious, it appears there is room for improvement in options and consistency to better meet the expectations of all guests.
Dinner
Rooms
However, the size of the rooms is a recurrent issue. Many guests found the rooms to be narrow, cramped and suitable for short stays only. The lack of soundproofing is another common concern with noise from hallways and adjacent rooms easily permeating. Some rooms also suffer from poor sound isolation, leading to a noisy environment not ideal for restful sleep. Another downside mentioned is the limited storage space with several rooms lacking wardrobes or closets.
In some cases, additional amenities like heating are missing and there were reports of poor room maintenance in terms of cleaning and upkeep. The bathrooms are another point of contention as they are often described as narrow with improper drainage and leaking issues causing slippery floors.
For travelers planning a short stay, the executive rooms stand out as they offer more comfort and better space compared to the standard and single rooms. Overall, while Shada Hotel impresses with its design and cleanliness, it faces challenges in room size and soundproofing that potential guests should consider.
Beds
Cleanliness
While some guests noted occasional shortcomings in room and pool cleaning, these instances appear to be exceptions rather than the norm. On the whole, the hotel receives commendations for its meticulous upkeep, including clean corridors, tidy common spaces and a thoroughly maintained facade.
Beyond cleanliness, Shada Hotel impresses with its unique decor that reflects the charm of southern Saudi Arabia, creating a distinct and relaxing environment. The combination of high cleanliness standards and beautiful, culturally inspired design makes it a noteworthy choice for travelers seeking a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing stay.
Staff
Housekeeping staff also receive praise for their promptness, friendliness and skill. The staff's cooperative and respectful attitude contributes to the overall positive experience with several guests noting the exceptional and human-centered approach of the employees. The collaborative team spirit among the staff further enhances the welcoming atmosphere of the hotel.
Though a few reviews mention areas for improvement, such as noise disturbances and occasional lapses in reception service, the overwhelming majority of feedback highlights the staff's dedication to providing a high level of service. Many guests express gratitude for the employees' professionalism, kindness and attention to detail, which significantly contribute to the hotel's warm and welcoming environment.
Wi-Fi
Though the WiFi generally works well, there are occasional inconsistencies in coverage, particularly within some rooms. Additionally, guests noted that access to popular streaming services like Netflix and Shahid is not supported on hotel screens. Despite these minor shortcomings, the overall sentiment about the WiFi at Shada Hotel is positive, making it a reliable choice for travelers needing internet access during their stay.
Gym
Pool
Despite these positives, several reviews pointed out areas for improvement. On occasion, the pool was reported to have too much chlorine and some guests noted that it could be cleaner. Additionally, there were mentions of the pool being kept rather cold and lacking services such as fresh towels. At times, the pool and associated facilities were under maintenance, leading to closures that disappointed some visitors.
Nonetheless, guests generally appreciated the beautiful design and family-friendly nature of the pools, describing them as a wonderful addition to their stay at Shada Hotel.
Family
Guests have also pointed out that the family suite descriptions can be misleading and there have been complaints about rooms not being provided as booked – for instance, a double bed instead of a more appropriate family room set-up. Moreover, noise from other guests with children has also been a concern for some.
Overall, while the Shada Hotel exudes a distinctive identity and is mentally comforting for many, it seems more appropriate for short stays or families without young children. For those traveling with kids, the issues with connected rooms, cramped spaces and some stained amenities may detract from the overall experience.
3 Star
Despite these strengths, there have been some complaints regarding the WiFi reception, which has been described as weak and inconsistent. Some guests found the room sizes on the smaller side, but still satisfactory for short stays.
Pricing has been a point of contention; while some feel that the rates are somewhat high for a three-star hotel, others believe that the quality and service justify a higher classification. The tranquility of the hotel is noted, making it a suitable choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
Overall, Shada Hotel manages to exceed expectations of a typical three-star establishment, though potential guests should be prepared for the higher cost relative to similar-rated hotels.
Business
The hotel is noted for its good WiFi reception, although there have been occasional mentions of spotty connectivity in certain areas and limitations on streaming services. Despite these minor issues, the ability to access streaming services remains a useful feature for guests.
For those conducting meetings, the hotel offers well-maintained and convenient meeting rooms, adding to the business-friendly appeal. The distinctive identity of the hotel, combined with its value for money, peaceful rooms and great location, makes it suitable for brief business trips. While the absence of sound insulation between rooms and corridors was noted, this does not overshadow the hotel's standing as a favored choice among business travelers looking for a mix of professional services and comfort.
