This is an excellent hotel that combines value, cleanliness, comfort, great breakfast, and good staff. But to be clear, this is not the 5 start luxury hotel. Riyadh is a bustling city with either very fancy and expensive hotels or lower cost non-brand hotels. This makes it tough for travellers to choose value / lower cost options. This hotel is very recommend.

فندق مميز بتجهيزات مريحة

كانت تجربة مريحة الفندق موقعه مميز والعاملين في الفندق لطيفين وتعاملهم راقي خاصة موظفي الاستقبال. الغرفة كانت نظيفة ومريحة سواء الأثاث والتجهيزات وحتى عزل الأصوات الخارجية ممتاز. محتويات الفطور عادية لكن المطعم نظيف وتجهيزاته جيدة جداً وكذلك العاملين فيه. تقييمي للفندق مقابل القيمة المدفوعة ١٠/١٠

Very bad checkout experience despite a pleasant stay While the room itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and I’d like to highlight the exceptional kindness of the young man who helped carry my luggage and assisted with deliveries — my overall experience was unfortunately overshadowed by what happened during checkout. Despite having fully paid for my stay, I was not allowed to leave the hotel when I returned the room key. I explained that I was running late for a flight, but the staff insisted they had to “check the room” before letting me go, even though there was no minibar, and they already had all my personal information — my phone number, ID, and payment details. They literally told me “you cannot leave,” which was disturbing and inappropriate, and honestly felt like detention. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. This caused be an immense amount of stress, my taxi driver cancelled my trip as I didn’t show up on time. Additionally, I’d like to note that the gym was uncomfortably hot, despite the A/C being on. The equipment was decent, but the layout was strange and unsafe — the floor is uneven, with multiple levels and hidden steps. I nearly tripped several times. For guest safety, I strongly recommend adding brighter visual markers to the steps. I would not stay here again, and I do not recommend this hotel to anyone who values speedy checkout.

Location of hotel is good. But pathetic service. Reception people do not understand English. House keeping very poor. Rooms don’t get cleaned until we remind the housekeeping. Breakfast is good.
