“Comfortable feel-good place to stay in Abha”

My family and I got the hotel booked at the last moment as the best available option at the moment of booking. The entire city was almost sold out because of the Eid holidays.

My family and I got the hotel booked at the last moment as the best available option at the moment of booking. The entire city was almost sold out because of the Eid holidays. I was happy to get a 'five star' (according to booking.com) at 600 SAR per night, I was quite skeptical though. The ratings and reviews made me confident while I had to cancel Mercure at the same destination because of atrocious reviews. Blue Inn turned out to be a Four-Star property, one of the first things I checked with them during check-in. Check-in was smooth and Fast. Mr. Ramadan was gracious and pleasant and considered my request to place us on the top floors. Though I had inadvertently booked twin rooms, they were so pleased to change the room with a king bed without any inhibition although it's a very high-demand season. One of the perks of arriving early for check-in, I do this all the time whenever I'm on a pleasure trip. The lobby is compact, however, the reception looked a little congested with the way they arranged the lobby. No welcome drink. Untrained non-hospitality-friendly guards. The sleep quality was very good. AC was smooth, although I felt a bit of a hiccup towards the end of the night, perhaps, humidity does it. Nothing worth complaining about. The carpet in the corridor and rooms are well maintained. The washroom is neat, a little improvement could have been done with a closed shower cubicle so that we could enjoy a dry washroom throughout. The towels were fresh and smooth. The quality of the toiletries could have been better with the same pricing if a cheaper packaging is considered, after all, it's disposable. Their restaurant, The Roof, seemed notable in the mountain city with an amazing view. The food was surprisingly good, I must say very good considering the averaging pricing. It indeed is a very good strategy rather than spiking the price unprecedentedly like in most Saudi hotels where people ended up not even considering going to the restaurant. The chef knows what he's doing, however, a little attention to the minute details viz salt and spices would render the best. Also, the captains who take the order should have been more attentive to the details which would improve the experience very much. It was very courteous of them to offer us a complimentary cheesecake and Arabic coffee after the dinner when I gave them my feedback. The pool in the basement is adequate with lockers, changing rooms, a steam bath, and showers. However, the cold pool was a turn-off considering the mostly-cold weather conditions, it should have been a warm pool. The pool towels had an excruciating stench of chlorine and they were quite run-down. The lifeguard was seen one day as all. The hotel has adequate gated private parking that is easily accessible, unlike some hotels where the basement parking is an exhausting affair. The hotel's location is excellent, and many tourist spots viz Art Street is within walkable distance. 'Tolie' - a Turkish Restaurant within half a mile from the restaurant is a great place to enjoy your dinner with a beautiful view. Considering the ascents and curvy roads, and scarce parking it may be better to take a walk than take your car to the nearby attractions.

“Less than what I expected.”

I found this hotel to be less than what I expected, the main entrance is not convenient and the lobby is small, the seating areas at the lobby are limited, the staff at reception were nice, the room was clean and comfortable, the service was good, the food was reasonable, car park was available.
