Ruinen Vacations from SAR3,649

Conveniently located within walking distance of the historic city centre. Second floor apartment within a traditional narrow canal-front townhouse. It is accessed up communal steep staircase from a main front door and is annexed to the main hotel next door. The apartment overlooks a very picturesque canal, which is the best feature together with the sizeable open plan living / dining / kitchen area. It has a comfortable double bedroom and a wet room. The kitchen area could use some minor repairs to drawer fronts, handles etc, but this didn’t affect our enjoyment. The hotel staff next door were very accommodating with check-in, check-out and leaving luggage. The rear bedroom overlooks an internal courtyard which is also overlooked by bedroom windows from the adjacent hotel. No particular issues, but meant some conversations from neighbouring accommodation could be heard clearly in the evening / night-time if windows were open. Overall would recommend.

Room was roomy and nice, wall finishes beautiful and upgraded bathroom but limited small towels and bath accessories. Need to let people know at booking that stairs are exceedingly steep!!

Historic hotel that was very unique. I was upgraded to a suite, which was amazingly big and beautiful. The bed itself was extremely comfortable and I found the room very quiet. Restaurant on premises offered a varied menu. Food was excellent and service was spectacular. Check-in staff were extremely accommodating, I got assistance up to my room along with a little tour. Check-out was not as accommodating. I checked out at 6:30am so the 2 staff tucked away in the office could have been tired, but neither offered to help me get my very large checked bag and 2 carry ons down to the street. Which leads me to the last comment, there are a number of stairs to the main entrance so if you arrive with large, heavy bags be prepared for a workout 😉.

The lifts kept breaking and made it hard to get to the lobby. It was very annoying.

Very nice staff and a good location. Walls are thin so it's noisy at times. Overall, I would go back in a second!
