In-Depth Review
Habitat Hotel All Suites Jeddah is an all-suite hotel where every room comes with a separate living room next to the bedroom. It sits in the Al Hamra district, 1km from Heraa International Mall. Scores split by audience — Booking.com gives it 8.3/10 and Agoda 9.2/10 — and that gap says a lot about which guests value what.
Rooms and decor
Every room is a suite, with a separate living room set apart from the bedroom — sofa, TV and a dining corner included. That layout is ideal for families who want shared living space beyond a single bedroom, and reviewers mention the room size as the high point more than anything else. The catch is age: the building has been open for nearly 20 years, and the furniture and TVs in some rooms are dated and not yet refreshed. Reviewers suggest asking for a recently refurbished room when you book, and a few flag a musty smell. Rooms start around $114 a night.
Food and amenities
The rooftop pool is the highlight — city views in every direction and a good atmosphere, especially in the late afternoon. There is a fitness center, but reviewers say the equipment is old and some treadmills do not work. Breakfast is served international-style. Staff are friendly in most reviews, though some note they could use more training. All food is halal and no alcohol is served.
Location and getting there
Al Hamra is a central business and residential district of Jeddah. It is just 1km from Heraa International Mall and around 3km from the Jeddah Corniche. The airport, King Abdulaziz International (JED), is about 25km away — roughly a 30-minute drive.
Things to know before booking
This is a place to book for space, not for a brand-new finish. The building is around 20 years old and it shows in places — aging furniture and TVs in some rooms, and a gym with dated equipment and a few broken treadmills. Room condition varies, so ask for a refurbished unit. The score gap between Agoda's 9.2 and Booking.com's 8.3 mostly tracks Western guests being harder on the building's age.
Our take
Habitat works best for families and groups who want plenty of room, plus business travelers after a proper suite. You get a separate living room and a rooftop pool at a reasonable rate. It is not the pick if you need spotless, brand-new rooms or current gym kit — the building's age is clear in spots — but for space and value in Al Hamra, it earns its 8.3.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- Every room is a suite, with a separate living room beside the bedroom — sofa, TV and a dining corner. It is genuinely roomy and works well for families who want shared living space rather than a single bedroom.
- The rooftop pool is the standout feature. It looks out over the city in every direction and reviewers flag it as the best thing about the stay, especially in the cooler late afternoon.
- Location is handy — just 1km from Heraa International Mall and around 3km from the Jeddah Corniche, putting shopping and the waterfront both within easy reach.
- Agoda guests rate it 9.2/10, with Arab travelers in particular praising the space and the rooftop pool. It is one of the higher-scored all-suite options in the area.
- All food is halal and no alcohol is served, breakfast runs international-style, and staff are friendly in most reviews — a comfortable, family-friendly base for the district.
- The building is roughly 20 years old and it shows. Furniture and TVs in some rooms are aging and have not been refurbished yet, so room condition varies noticeably from one unit to the next.
- The gym is dated. Reviewers note the equipment is old and some treadmills do not work, so don't count on a full workout setup.
- A few reviews mention a musty smell in some rooms, and the score gap between Agoda (9.2) and Booking.com (8.3) reflects Western guests being tougher on the building's condition.

Insider Tips
- Ask for a recently refurbished room when you book — the difference in condition between units is obvious.
- Hit the rooftop pool in the late afternoon, just before sunset, when the heat eases off.
- If a full workout matters to you, bring a backup plan — reviewers report the gym equipment is dated and some treadmills are out of order.
