Aloft Riad

Great spot to stay at specially if you have some business meetings to attend to downtown Riyadh Great stuff ? ?

Hi there, I have used this hotel For over 7 days and will stay a total of 14. The booking was managed via my HR Department. It is to be noted that I am an existing Bon Voy application holder and would highly recommend that if you are travelling for business you book through the app. This would also recommended for personal users, of course, what better to collect your points? So Check in was slick, with highly accommodating staff, be prepared for staff who are multi lingual. If you are using the courtesy pick up from the airport if will cost, circa 200 SAR. There is no doubt it’s a good service however an Uber is so much cheaper. The quality of the rooms is as expected through this International Group. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. For potential UK customers please be advised that 3 Pin Plugs are used. Room amenities are excellent and include a high quality Ironing Board and Steam Iron. All the little fancies are there from sewing kits through to toothbrushes and razors. There is a small fridge in the room and complimentary tea and coffee. I would have preferred more than a 2 cup option for powdered milk but it is what it is. If you want real milk a Supermarket is literally within a 5 minute walk. Daily supply of water bottles is very generous and we should all remember to hydrate!!! So far, I have only eaten 2 Room Service meals and a Breakfast every morning. The Breakfast caters for all tastes and the quality is high. I must recommend the Club Sandwich from Room Service as it is a Beast which may require a further planned attack to finish it off. The Laundry Service, although priced highly, is highly proficient, with items returned the same day. This is based on a morning pick up and it will be ready at your room by the evening. With regard to travelling, you have to account for the local traffic and be prepared for lengthy car or taxi journeys. With regard to staff, I can only say how professional they are. I have a special mention to Mohammed, the Reception Manager, who is the exact guy you need to speak too……………for any issues. I only have a couple of very small negative comments, in fact they are more of an observation…….. The internet has been unreachable or has intermittently disconnected over the last 3 nights, it has been a little frustrating but it’s not the end of the world. I am assuming that the occupancy is at max and everybody is on Netflix, YouTube etc. The final observation is my Bon Voy points, there seem to be an issue with collected them, which I hope will be rectified before I leave. So An overall Summary Nice Hotel Good Staff Good Food Really Comfortable Beds Would I stay here again? Yes, if I could afford it ?

Really nice hotel from Marriott, I totally recommend it if you come to Riyadh: - Rooms: Clean, comfortable beds, AC working properly, nice views, and with all the details expected. No noise to sleep, this is a plus! - Fitness area and pool: Machines and gym weights to do all the workout that you needs; with views to the city. Gym was clean, with towels and water. The pool is clean and I felt really fresh after using it, so relaxing. Take into account the time that you can use the facilities. - Service: The reception was so kind with me, explaining to me every single detail. They help me to bring my luggage to the room, also the maintenance guy gave me an adapter (as I’m Spanish)for my PC and phone. 100% good work from everyone here. - Connections: Was really easy to come from airport, 35$ aprox. with uber. Around 30 minutes with not so much traffic. Even i’m foreign, I felt like at home. Thank you.

Aloft is one of the best hotels in Riyadh, it has an amazing pool also,, a very big thanks to Fakhr al eslam for his amazing hospitality ❤️❤️

The lobby service is the worst , I came for the pool but one operator said it was closed and another operator is letting people in the pool I didn’t understand what’s going on it but it was a very disrespectful behavior from both operators and the price to go to the pool just got a lot more expensive than it used to be and i didn’t see any additional services that was added to the new high price , this is a poorly recommended place.
