Saudi Arabia11 Reviews“never again & don’t recommend.”- the door between our room and the neighbors. so annoying, as it’s not sound proof, we heard them talking and I believe they can hear us too. - loose and wiggly faucet in the toilet, drain clogging constantly with water only, and gunk here and there around the bathroom.
convenient location.

Australia46 Reviews21 helpful votes“The hotel is not a 4-star establishment, but the staff in general were very helpful and friendly.”If the Zara intends to attract international travellers, it is going to need to employ many more English speakers, as it was difficult communicating simple requests relating to house cleaning, information about Dhahran in general, and in the dining room. That said, however, the friendliness and willingness to assist by all staff members with whom I interracted was first class. During Covid it became almost mandatory to change all menu-ordering at all food outlets to online digital usage. However, the system at Zara did not work well, as I had a phone only with Turkish and Australian SIM cards and couldn't scan the menus, and the waiter's phone, when he showed it to me, wouldn't expand as was far too small to read. You really must have decent-sized menu books, as I believe most people prefer to order from them, and Covid is no longer the urgent threat it was a couple of years ago.
For a reputed 4-star hotel, the breakfast was not impressive. Cold boiled eggs, poor choices for western palates, a weak toaster and instant coffee...about 2.5 stars. The waiter went down to the coffee shop and brought me back an Americano, so 5 stars for service. There were very few people in the hotel who spoke English, except for the lovely little receptionist, Anhal (Annie), who was friendly and helpful. She got me into my room much earlier than usual, as I had arrived on an early flight.
