I was actually prepared for a hard night in Al Sawfa because i am arriving at midnight and the chances of geting a room are close to zereo.
Now i am looking forward to 8,5h in the Garden Hotel which i have never been before.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the concern for the late night arrivals in Al Sawfa are only a concern if you have a heir connection. I've found you always get a room within 3/4 hours even at peak time.
