Aerotel Jeddah - Transit Hotel in Terminal 1

A comfortable and very clean hotel easy to find....but.....no windows.its claustrophobic

The main point to keep in mind is that the hotel is airside. To be fair they do highlight this in their description. My flight was at 8 am and I wanted to use the hotel before the flight and would have paid a little more for 8 hours instead of 6 if allowed. However once at the airport, I was told that I could not cross the barriers where you scan your boarding pass before 6 hours prior to the flight (this varies from airport to airport. This is for Jeddah). I was however able to scan in around 12:45, i.e a bit over 7 hours. So I managed to get immigration and security done and make use of the 6 hours I had paid for. Just about. It helped that I had a boarding pass from online check in and no checked in luggage. If you are having to check in at the counter it could be more complicated. If you are already in transit in the airside area, it is not a problem. The hotel itself is sparkling, just beside terminal 1 gates and very well maintained. It is pretty big and in the early morning, I did get a bit lost as I got out of my room and couldn't remember which side I came in from! A bit more of signage towards the stairs/lifts would have helped. In the night a member of staff accompanied me to the room, so I admittedly did not pay so much attention to the directions from the desk. It was convenient to get solid sleep just before the flight. Going straight into a landside hotel but getting up 3 hours early versus waiting to get in through gates and then sleeping, your choice.

Ok

Amazing hotel which was very convenient during our stop over. We rested very well. No issues at all. Rooms were exceptionally well sound proofed. Very clean with all the amenities. Highly recommended.
