Apparently the Al Fursan lounge costs 126 SAR for Saudia Y pax.
As lounges go, it's a pretty decent facility, with plenty variety of buffet food and refreshments. There are comfortable seats, some at the back good for curling up on. There's a snooze room, but its definitely not a bedroom. Theres also a snooker/ games room. Internet is, well, patchy.
whether all that is enough to keep you occupied and rested is something only you can answer. But at £50+ for a couple, I'd probably opt for spending a bit more on proper room, bed and shower in the airside hotel. It's all a question of priorities, willingness to accept inconveniences .... and the depth of pockets.
At the other end of the scale, the terminal has comfortable places to sit in gate areas there are are cafes and fastfood outets - si the overnight can be done cheaoly.
