I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, mainly due to its excellent location near business districts and the quick access to King Fahad Rd. The rooms were very clean, which I appreciated, making my stay quite comfortable. However, the service could use some improvement as it wasn't very professional, and the parking options were limited. Overall, it's a good choice for business travelers, and I would definitely consider staying here again.

This hotel has a really great location that made it easy to navigate around the city, especially with the ongoing construction. The rooms exceeded my expectations in terms of decor and comfort, but it wasn't completely quiet due to some outside noise. The staff was very friendly, although I felt that the check-in process could have been smoother. Overall, it's a solid choice, but just be aware of the noise factor and the busy surroundings.

I stayed at a hotel with a fantastic location, right in the heart of a bustling business and shopping district in Riyadh. The rooms were supposed to be non-smoking, but mine had an unpleasant smell and were not fully isolated, making it hard to relax. The service was generally helpful, but I had some issues with billing that made things a bit stressful. While the dining options were decent, they could certainly use some improvement compared to similar hotels. Overall, it was a mixed experience with both great advantages and some frustrating downsides.
