I stayed in the hotel for four nights whilst running an event at the Karan. The suite I stayed in had a generous amount of space and was very comfortable. The gym is well equipped with an enthusiastic manager, Mike. The combination of few distractions, a good gym and non fermented grape juice meant I had a remarkably healthy stay ;)
Amazing hospitality Very good service
Friendly staff 'Good restaurant 'competitive rates ' I recommended it as a first choice at jubail city
Good location

This easily is the best hotel in Jobail for those who don't mind paying a premium for their stay. You can get beautiful sea view from 2 bedrooms, the rooms are very spacious, properly air conditioned with climate control, clean and tidy. You have iron facility, good wardrobe along with the suite. Though I was not satisfied with the internet speed, but it is manageable. The food is amazing - but really expensive. You can spend some good time in there, they have showcased some old cars. They provide free juice (mango and grape) and put them in refrigerator every day. On the whole, happy with the stay.
Great hotel in Arabic style. Take a rest from your day and lay down in the arabic style cuchions just when you enter the hotel and take a cup of tea or coffee for free. This every day! Friendly staff. spacious rooms - in fact you get a little flat with microwave, fridge, stove, kettle dishes etc. a fully equiped kitchen, living room bed room bath room. They will supply fresh fruit juices into your fridge every day for free.
Free end fast ! Internet wireless in the whole hotel. Great breakfast buffet.
The hotel gives you insight in early days in the Kingdom with many many photograps, displayed in the hotel. Old cars and radios, like a museum. Shopping malls and restaurants close by. For Snorkeling and Scuba diving, also a shop with PADI doing trips. There is a hotel swimmingpool, but I have not had the time to see it. It is the best hotel in town.
I was at the Karan Hotel for three weeks last year and I'm back again for a week. Staying here and teaching Environmental courses. The hotel is well run and the staff have always proved very helpful. The room on both passions has been clean and of a good size with a reasonably equipped kitchen. There is a small shop outside the hotel where it's possible to buy bread and other items with a larger supermarket a few minutes walk away at Fanateer Mall. When I was here for three weeks I did most of my own cooking for evening meals and breakfast which was really nice. The restaurants are good though it gets a bit boring after three weeks.
I'm always happy to return to the Karan and there is a dive shop close by that I hope to go diving with if I get some spare time.
