This is an ancient hotel that hasn't been renovated. I stayed here on business because I had to, but it was a very pleasant experience. The service was good, the food excellent, and the room good (but very very old). It's located pretty much inside a military base, so it's a safe area. It's not perfect, but I like it. More

I have been to this hotel many times as this is the one provided by my company and I have no choice, The hotel is located far from the main town and has a very poor accessiblity even by a private taxi, It's facade is old and the rooms are also in the old style(70's-80's). Still the rooms are warm,... More

I first visited this hotel over 25 years ago when the the main airport was just across the road. When the airport relocated and became less busy before becoming famous as the CNN conference centre during the Gulf War. A few years ago it could be described as tired and jaded and the five stars seemed to be optimistic. The... More

The hotel was chosen for me by my client in Saudi. Its location near the old international airport (now a restricted airbase) implies that it was once the premier accommodation when flying into Dhahran. That is not the case any more. If you read my other posts, you'll know that I am not generally a complainer. Pro: My client paid... More

There's not much to say about this one - I've had to work for a bit more than a year in Saudi and I've been to this Hotel many times during that period... Let's start by the best : The food. everyday, there's a buffet and it's awesome !!! Of course, no alcoholic drinks (we're in Saudi :s) The building... More

This hotel is calm, old, and clean. The breakfast and room service were above average. The rooms are partially renovated. The only really bad thing about this hotel is the location. This hotel is located near the old Dhahran airport which is now a military air base. Other than this it is fine. More

Very nice hotel. Great service. See them doing some refurbishing here and there. Rooms are good size, suites are huge. Convenient to Saudi Aramco, and Khobar. They also can arrange for a taxi across the causeway to Bahrain, if you are on an extended stay and want to get away for the weekend. More

The Hotel is located next to the old Dhahran Airport. Although a new Dammam International Airport about 50 km away serves the area now, the location of Dhahran International Hotel is convenient for people coming for business with Saudi Aramco, which is only five kilometers from the hotel. The rooms are in general ok and the hotel provides courtesy shuttles... More

This hotel is next to the old Dhahran Airport, now used solely as a military airbase since the new King Fahad Airport at Dammam was opened, and it's nowhere near as busy as it used to be. This is unfortunate for the hotel, as it is one of the best in the area for friendly staff, excellent food, and is... More
