Al Ertiqaa Hotel – فندق الارتقاء

Al Ertiqaa Hotel – فندق الارتقاء Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Al Ertiqaa Hotel – فندق الارتقاء, you immediately get that feeling of a well-run neighborhood hotel that actually cares about its guests. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — this is a solid three-star property that delivers exactly what you’d hope for without any pretense. The lobby feels welcoming rather than intimidating, and honestly, the staff’s genuine warmth sets the tone for your entire stay.

Location & Getting Around

The hotel sits on Hira Street in Al Marwah, and I have to say, the location really works in your favor. You’re close enough to Jeddah’s main attractions without being stuck in the tourist chaos, which is honestly refreshing. What surprised me most was how couples seem to gravitate toward this spot — apparently they rate the location a solid 9.2, and after spending time here, I get it. There’s something about the neighborhood that feels authentic yet accessible. Plus, you’ve got parking sorted right at the hotel, which anyone who’s driven in Jeddah will tell you is worth its weight in gold.

The Room Experience

My room was exactly what I needed after long days exploring the city. Nothing fancy, but everything worked properly — and you know what, sometimes that’s exactly what matters most. The air conditioning actually keeps up with Jeddah’s heat, the bed was comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep, and the bathroom had decent water pressure. I mean, these might sound like basic things, but you’d be surprised how many places get the fundamentals wrong. The furnishings are practical and well-maintained, making it an ideal base for your travels.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast buffet here actually impressed me more than I expected. It’s not going to win any awards, but there’s a good mix of local and international options that’ll fuel you up for the day ahead. The restaurant area gets busy around 8 AM, so if you’re not a morning person, aim for a bit earlier or later. What I appreciated was that they kept things fresh and didn’t just let food sit under heat lamps all morning — small detail, but it makes a difference. The dining experience reflects the hotel’s commitment to quality service.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing about Al Ertiqaa Hotel — it consistently delivers on its promises without trying to oversell itself. The 8.9 rating makes perfect sense when you experience the reliable service and genuine hospitality. Recent guests keep praising the location (9.1 rating), and after staying here, I understand why. It’s that sweet spot where you feel connected to the real Jeddah while still having easy access to everything you want to see. The staff remembers your name, the facilities work as they should, and you leave feeling like you got honest value for your money. This hotel represents genuine quality at its price point.
