Dana Rayhaan by Rotana

Disappointing Experience at Dana Rayhaan and No Support from Expedia I traveled with my family from Qatar to Dammam on November 20. While on the road, I booked two rooms at Dana Rayhaan through Expedia. When we arrived, the reception informed us that the booking was mistakenly set for November 26–27 instead of November 20–21. I immediately paid cash for that night and contacted Expedia the same evening. They confirmed they would handle the issue within 24–48 hours. During this waiting period, I stayed in the same hotel for three nights, paying for each night separately through cash, Agoda, and Expedia, spending over $1,200 USD with the hotel. Despite my immediate complaint — before the original date even arrived — and despite being an active paying guest in the same hotel, neither the hotel nor Expedia allowed a basic date change for an unused night. I did not ask for a refund. I only asked to modify the date of a night I never used. After days of waiting, both the hotel and Expedia responded by saying the booking was “non-refundable and non-changeable” due to “strict policies.” Policies exist to prevent abuse, not to punish honest guests who are already staying and paying at the hotel. If a hotel guest spending over $1,200 USD is denied a simple modification, then: • Policies are prioritized over customer loyalty • Mistakes are treated as an opportunity to profit • Guests’ trust has no value I am sharing this experience so travelers can be aware. I still hope management will review this case fairly. A hotel is not judged by its building, but by how it supports its guests when they truly need assistance.

This is my first time, i liked the place the service is good new hotel. The reception staff so polite and at the breakfast as well they were so friendly.

This property in Dammam is one of the best. All staffs are very friendly. The hospitality is superb. This property is very new. Most if the things like super market, mall are very close to this property. The restaurant is very beautiful, well designed and decorated. You will get lots of option to choose from. Stating from check-in, room service and food were very good. The team and management's are very polite and helpful. Thank you all. It was great stay at this property.

Excellent service that truly set the tone for a comfortable stay.

Great value for money ! Situated at the heart of Dammam - all is easy accessible. The hotel restaurants are a bit quiet but the food is nonetheless just excellent ! Wifi is available throughout the entire hotel perfect. Perfect hideaway for business travel!

Very awesome location and nice facilities, and the staff are very nice, specially Mr. Sultan, the GC manager It was a great trip.

Our stay at Dana Rayhaan by Rotana was exceptional! We spent 4 nights in rooms 1516 and 1510, both of which were impeccably clean and offered stunning sea views that made our trip unforgettable. The daily breakfast at Elements restaurant was a highlight, featuring a wide variety of tasty options. The pool area was pleasant and well-maintained, providing a great spot to unwind. The check-in was quite slow, especially during the busy Eid holiday time, which was a bit of a drawback. The hotel's location was very convenient, with easy access to Dammam Corniche (5–10 mins. by Uber), the airport (30 mins.), and Al-Khobar (20 mins.). Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, excellent amenities, and a prime location! Special thanks to Mr. Sultan Zainuddin.
