Norah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Manageable

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.
JINESH, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Business trip Riyadh

The hotel is easily accessible and is short walk away from shops and local eateries. The check was quick and straight forward and the room itself offered plenty of space as well as a jacuzzi bath which unfortunately I did not have opportunity to use. The room was comfortable and offered the nice touches expected of this category of hotel. The only drawback from my stay was the noise outside at night which can keep you awake if you are attempting to go to bed early. An enjoyable stay and would recommend for a business trip stay, although be aware of heavy traffic during peak time during morning.
David Martin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This was my second visit. It was disappointing to see that the room was not cleaned properly for the 3 nights I stayed there. The service was extremely poor and unprofessional

Um-Royal Suite

Stayed in room 307 (Royal Suite) but you don’t get what you expect by the name. Window blinds - can’t open, bed is defect but ok if you’re solo, TV in bedroom not working. Gym bike missing pedals, one of the treadmills is run through… Overall the hotel needs an overhaul. On the positive side: people are friendly and the breakfast is satisfying.
Stefan, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

This stay in this hotel was a very bad experience. Power outage from 5:30 am till 9 am. Not even internet and basic services. The staff made it even worse by not facilitating help when they were able to.

I was assigned a Smoking room when I booked a non -smoking . When I requested a room change I was told the room is non-smoking when I could smell the strong stench of smoke in the room . The elliptical in the gym is broken with no gym attendant !
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst experience! No room available at check in.

Horrible experience. Reached the hotel at 1am. The receptionist says that there is no room available. He says that you have to check in before 9pm or the reservation will be cancelled. Absolutely zero customer service or support. I would have understood if he said that they were oversold for some reason and if he helped me find an alternate hotel. But he just blatantly told me that there is no room available and turned off the lights in the lobby to make me leave the hotel. They haven’t ever processed a refund. They are telling hotels.com staff that I didn’t reach the hotel. Liars!

4/10 Fair

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.
Nina, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

L'accueil au demeurant est très bonne, le room servie très aimable et la chambre est assez propre. Cependant il est compliqué de commander un diner par téléphone, les instructions ne sont pas claires et le menu pas à jour. Malgré que la clim soit bruyante, elle était très efficaces et la literie très confortables!

It was a nice hotel in a decent location. 10 min walk to the brand new metro and lots of shopping. As for the hotel, the room was nice, breakfast was decent enough, and the staff was very friendly.

Not a great experience

I arrived early and was charged an additional half day, i requested a cab to travel to leap 2025 they provided the hotel car which i was charged 300 pounds, on the first day, the porter give the driver the wrong address. When checking out the bell boy Accused me of stealing a towel. Which left me so annoyed, i opend all my Luggage in the middle of the street and showed him.I'd never stole a towel, all he could say was sorry sir Repeatedly which annoyed me even further. I AM NO THIEF. AFTER all the personal time and money i spent to go to Riyadh, my first experience was very bad. This hotel experience was the worst ever. Also the breakfast was poor, next time i will pay more and stay at the double tree or four seasons, going to a hotel like this not worth the stress and being treated like that. Its not 4 star, 2 max !!
