Chinese apartment in Jeddah Red Sea Fountain

Staying at Jeddah Heju Huaren Homestay was an absolute delight. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, and while the bathroom is shared, there’s a small private one right next to our unit—so it felt almost like having our own. What stood out most was that meals were included in the booking. The homestay’s caretaker prepares delicious, authentic Chinese dishes with great variety and balance between meat and vegetables—something truly special when you're far from home. Fresh fruits and drinks are available in the fridge for guests to enjoy anytime. After dinner, we gathered in the cozy living area to chat and share tea—it felt warm and welcoming, like being part of a family. Just a short walk from the property brings you straight to the Red Sea, where the nighttime views are breathtakingly serene. There's also a nearby Chinese grocery store and several authentic Chinese restaurants, making daily needs super convenient. Everything about this place—from hospitality to location—makes it a top choice for travelers seeking comfort, culture, and value. Highly recommended!

The Apartments

The property is absolutely stunning. I stayed in one of the apartments, which was spacious and immaculately clean—truly exceeded my expectations. Everything I needed was just a short Uber ride away, making exploration effortless. The staff were consistently attentive and professional, adding to the excellent experience. The only minor hiccup was the name confusion: on the booking platform, it’s listed as "The Apartments," but it’s actually part of the Intercontinental Jeddah complex—just one building within a larger development. This caused some issues with the taxi driver who struggled to locate us, costing us extra time. Despite that, the overall stay was fantastic. The location, comfort, and service are top-notch. I’d still give this place a solid 5-star rating without hesitation.

Narcissus Boutique Hotel Al Hamra

Staying at Narcissus Boutique Hotel Al Hamra in Jeddah was a genuinely pleasant experience. Located just about 3 km from the city center, it’s very convenient to get around—especially if you’re using public transit. The hotel is immaculately clean, which aligns with the high standards seen throughout Saudi Arabia. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, featuring smart home technology and various advanced systems that really elevate the comfort level. The spa area is on the smaller side—just one hot whirlpool, a cold hydrotherapy jet, and a traditional Turkish bath—but it’s perfectly adequate for a quick relaxation session. Breakfast was generous in quantity but didn’t quite hit the mark for our European tastes. That said, the front desk staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, making the stay much smoother. The price point is on the higher end, but considering it’s a boutique-style property with such a great location, it’s not unreasonable. If budget allows, this could be a solid choice. However, if you're looking for better value, there might be slightly more competitive options available.
