Burj Al Faris Hotel Apartments

Burj Al Faris Hotel Apartments Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Burj Al Faris Hotel Apartments on Prince Sultan Road, I’ll be honest — it’s not the flashiest building you’ll see in Jeddah. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t need to show off. This three-star property has that solid, dependable feel that makes you think “okay, these people know what they’re doing.” The lobby is clean and welcoming, and the staff actually seemed happy to see me, which isn’t always a given.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s the thing about the Al Mohammadiyah area — it’s one of those neighborhoods that locals love but tourists sometimes overlook. I mean, you’re close enough to everything that matters without being stuck in the chaos of the city center. The couples who stay here clearly get it (they rate the location super high), and honestly, I can see why. You’ve got decent restaurants within walking distance, and when you need to venture further out, the main roads are right there. Plus, there’s parking on site, which anyone who’s driven in Jeddah will tell you is worth its weight in gold.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this place apart is that you’re getting an apartment, not just a hotel room. My unit had a proper kitchenette — nothing fancy, but functional enough that I could make coffee the way I like it and store some snacks. The space feels lived-in rather than sterile, if that makes sense. The furniture isn’t brand new, but everything works, and there’s actually enough storage space for a longer stay. The Wi-Fi was solid throughout my visit, which matters more than people admit.

Service and Atmosphere

You know what impressed me most? The number of repeat guests I noticed during my stay. That tells you something right there — people come back because they feel comfortable here. The housekeeping team keeps things tidy without being intrusive, and the front desk staff actually remember your name after a day or two. It’s not five-star service, but it’s genuine, and sometimes that’s better. The whole place has this relaxed vibe where you can just settle in and not worry about whether you’re doing everything “right.”

Why Guests Love It

Look, Burj Al Faris isn’t trying to be something it’s not, and that’s exactly why it works. You get practical apartment-style living in a neighborhood that feels authentic, with staff who actually care about your stay. The fact that so many people come back speaks volumes — this isn’t a place you choose for Instagram photos, it’s a place you choose because you want to feel at home in Jeddah. For the price point, you’re getting solid value and a genuinely comfortable base for exploring the city. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
