I had a very disrespectful and bad experience in this hotel and would never ever recommend anyone staying there.
I reserved the hotel on my name and paid my credit card for it. I came to check in with my husband, which immediately started enjoying Arabic coffee and moved a meter or so from me while I was checking in. I gave my passport to the receptionist, gave her a clear understanding that I am the guest, I am THE PAYER, the room is mine. In a minute, the receptionist, without telling me anything, just literally walked away tossing an absolute ignore on me, went to my husband and gave him the documents to sign, room keys and explained the information being a few meters from me, that i did not even hear it.
THIS IS EXTREMELY PRIMITIVE AND DISRESPECTFUL. If not the dinner reservation that was approaching, I would've picked up my bags and canceled the payment, claiming that I HAVE NEVER CHECKED IN THE HOTEL, as i NEVER signed the papers nor got he keys. This unprofessional receptionist has not even checked a document of a man with me, therefore she has no idea whom she handled a room key to, or who signed the papers. I should've left the room for her to pay.
Just because your husband doesn't allow you to talk to strangers, doesn't mean you have to jump on mine. IF the room is booked on MY NAME and I AM PAYING for it, it means I AM CHECKING IN. How can it not be anymore clearer?..
Secondly, I left my diamond earrings on the bedside table, not in the safe and remembered it only after the check out. OFCOURSE THE HOTEL did not find it:))))
Then, the extra issue is that our room was on the first floor, we could hear lots of noise from the street and it was impossible to sleep.
Thanks god we had a short stay at...
Read moreI recently stayed at the Joudyan Hotel and had a mixed experience. While some aspects were comfortable, others fell short. Here's a breakdown of my stay: Pros: Rooms: The rooms were well-appointed with necessary amenities, including a wide TV, fast Wi-Fi, two landline phones, safety locker, tea amenities, and bottled water. Fresh Room Amenities: The fresh rooms provided an excellent selection of towels, toiletries, and amenities, such as bath robes, body lotion, conditioner, shampoo, and more. Housekeeping Staff: The housekeeping team was polite, professional, and honest in their work. Areas for Improvement: Front Office Staff: While polite, the front office staff could benefit from additional training to enhance their knowledge of hotel amenities and services. Food & Beverage Service Staff: The staff were competent, but lacked coordination with each other and the kitchen department. They often forgot to ask about accompaniments and seemed unfamiliar with menu items. Menu Availability: Some menu items were not available, which was disappointing. Highlights: Food Quality: The kitchen staff prepared excellent and delicious food, despite some limitations. Overall Experience: Despite some issues, I definitely want to visit again and look forward to seeing improvements. Rating: 5-star rating, primarily due to the exceptional housekeeping team. They're the...
