This hotel is excellent. The only reason why we gave 3 star for ”Overall rating” and “Staff & service” is one person (we wanted to give one star but it would be unfair to other staff). The lady at the front desk during check in was by far the most disrespectful person we have ever dealt with in any hotel. It was very sad that just one person negatively affected our experience in such a beautiful hotel. Despite that, we enjoyed our stay and we look forward to visiting this hotel in the presence of respectful welcoming human beings.

Not recommended
My stay at Sofitel Al Khobar was subpar. Not only did I not receive the hard pillow I requested, but there was also no toothbrush in the room, which is a basic amenity. The view from my room was dismal, possibly the worst I've encountered in any hotel. Additionally, the hotel feels outdated and in need of renovation. To top it off, my Accor loyalty points were not added, which further added to my disappointment. Overall, my experience fell short of expectations.
