Best Western Plus Jeddah Hotel Madinah Road
A rooftop pool and sauna deck off Madinah Road
About this hotel
The pool sits on the roof, a short lift ride above the traffic on Madinah Road, and it is the deck most guests head for once check-in is done. Loungers face the sauna entrance, so a lap swim and a sweat can happen back to back without changing floors. Rooms below keep things practical: bathrobes, a minibar, a work desk, and several interconnected options for families travelling together. Breakfast runs to warm dishes, fresh pastries and halal choices, served in a restaurant that also covers dinner with African and British plates. Mall of Arabia is a short drive for an evening out, and the Floating Mosque and Corniche are both reachable without committing the whole day to getting there.
- Rooftop swimming pool
- Sauna on the same deck
- Interconnected family rooms
- Free WiFi throughout
Our take
This suits a family or small group who wants a rooftop pool without paying resort prices, and who will use the sauna as much as the water. The interconnected rooms are the reason to book here over a plainer city-centre option. It is less convincing for a couple chasing a quiet adults-only pool deck, since the loungers fill with families most afternoons.
- ✓Head up to the pool before midday, the rooftop gets warm fast once the sun is high over Madinah Road.
- ✓Ask for an interconnected room if you are travelling with kids, they book out first on weekends.
- ✓Walk the short distance to Mall of Arabia for dinner options beyond the hotel restaurant.
Why we love it
- Rooftop pool shares a deck with the sauna
- Interconnected family rooms, a rare layout here
- Halal breakfast with African and British dishes
- Short drive to Mall of Arabia and the Corniche
Why guests love itFamilies staying here gravitate to the rooftop deck within the first hour, usually before the midday sun turns the tiles hot underfoot. The pool is compact rather than a resort-length lane, so it works best as a wind-down after a day out. The sauna next door gets steady use once the light fades, and the interconnected rooms downstairs mean nobody is shuttling kids between separate doors at bedtime. Breakfast is the other daily fixture, with the halal spread covering enough ground for pickier eaters.
