Le Bosphorus Hotel - Waqf Safi

This hotel is poor. The thing which is good is the location. That's all. The BEDROOM is ok as well. The TOILET IS stuck in the years 1978 The BATHROOM is not suitable for kids and even adults. Water splash outside THE BREAKFAST is 89SAR. I do nkt eat that much for a week in LONDON. THE CORRIDORS are poorly lit. 3 nights there 4 days no Wifi. Saudi 2030 WAQF SAFI 1970

We came here for two days stay. The place is in front of the haram just five minutes walk to pray all five prayers alhmudlillah and this a good bonus. When you reserve be aware that they will not withdraw the until you arrive to the hotel and they will add tax to the price you paid. The room is clean and it had a big window that overlook the harmattan.What catch my intention is that all the staff in the reception and administration are female. All and all I am satisfied with the stay .

Overall, this is a decent hotel, generally the staff are good in the restaurant but, the staff in the ground floor lounge and bell boys need specific customer training how to be polite, as well as front desk staff. Location - For me in my late fifties, I would say to get to Haram it is a 20min walk to get to gate 22, for ladies the haram gates are fairly nearby but, still a good walk. If your in your 20's, 30's 40's it probably will be a "walk in the park" and you will not notice it. Restaurant Breakfast and Evening Meal - Staff are great, not a great variety, I felt it was very congested with the amount of people that were in the restaurant as there is only one restaurant to accommodate a lot of people. Food is of fairly good standard quality but, certain things can run out. They do have an omelette station and overall I would say the staff tend to look after you and if you want anything specific they will do their utmost best, to help. Rooms - We booked a triple room and it was a good size triple standard room for 3 people and in fact, we had 4 beds in our room. Cleaned daily and I have no complaints about the room whatsoever. Atmosphere - It is a busy hotel with people from all over the world but, felt there were more europeans which was great and in general, a pleasant atmosphere with cold water and Arabic coffee/dates available in the seating area daily which is a nice touch. The hotel itself was very clean and they have 4 lifts so, there was no congestion here. One thing I would say if you have a disabled person with you, they do NOT provide designated wheelchairs, it's whatever there is available at the time. Hence, ensure you bring one with you. For me, it's a decent budget hotel but, in future god willing I would prefer to book nearer to Haram as I felt it was quite a distant for me personally to walk. Not that I mind walking but, in the 40 degree heat it was very hot. I feel it was good value for money and a decent budget hotel.
