Al Hayatt Jeddah Hotel is a straightforward, good-value hotel in the Al Sharafeyah area of central Jeddah, with 78 rooms and a short walk to Palestine Street. Rooms are offered as deluxe doubles of about 377 square feet and junior suites of about 538 square feet, both with city views and space for up to three guests with a king bed or twin beds. On site you will find a restaurant called Sultana serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a coffee shop, a snack bar and deli, a gym and a business centre, with free WiFi and free self parking. It suits travellers who plan to spend their days on the Corniche, in Al-Balad and on day trips and want a simple, comfortable bed at a modest price.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands at a street intersection in the middle of the city, about a three-minute walk from Palestine Street, which has cafes, shops and restaurants. Tahlia Street is a short drive away, Jeddah Mall is around seven minutes by car and the Corniche about twelve minutes. Red Sea Mall is farther north, and King Abdulaziz International Airport is around half an hour by road, so allow time for traffic.
A 24-hour airport shuttle is available for a fee per person, and a taxi or ride-hailing app is usually easier and cheaper for groups. Al-Balad is reachable by car in a reasonable time, which suits a morning in the old town.
Rooms and who it suits
Both room types have city views and can sleep three, which suits small families and friends sharing. The junior suite gives more space for longer stays. The gym is useful for keeping a routine, and the restaurant, coffee shop and snack bar mean you can eat without going out when you are tired.
Laundry and dry cleaning, an elevator and a business centre complete the practical offer. There is no pool, spa or beach, so this is a hotel for sleeping and eating, with the sea and the sights covered by day trips. It is not a hotel for nightlife or luxury, but it is a sensible base for a tight budget.
Good to know
Breakfast is available for a fee, so compare rates that include it. Check-in starts at two in the afternoon and runs until late evening, and check-out is before two. Children are welcome, rollaway beds and cribs carry a charge, and pets are not accepted. Alcohol is not served or permitted, and the hotel does not accept group events or parties.
Couples sharing a room may be asked for proof of marriage, and a government-issued photo ID and a deposit may be required at check-in, so read the policy before you travel. Free cancellation is offered on selected rates. Jeddah is most comfortable from roughly November to March, so book early for that season, and check recent guest comments for the details that matter to you.
