We stayed here 5 days, 4 nights.
The entrance is on the side of the building and I would give parking access a 5/10 score. It is situated on the main road from Riyadh so expect some traffic noise, but the heavy curtains do tune some of it out.
The location was good as we could access the main routes fast and could reach our destinations in good time. I would have loved some information facility at the reception where one could find information on interesting sites with times and details in the area that could be visited. We wasted our first day pitching up at numerous museums that were closed etc.
The staff were courteous, gracious, friendly, helpful and we were attended to immediately. The Breakfast was great with many local offerings and a selection of bread, cereals, grains, greens, vegetables, eggs, chicken, and salads that we would have needed a month to sample all of them. The dining room area was well-maintained and large enough with comfortable chairs and breakfast is served from 6:00-10:00.
The rooms are adequate with everything you need for a short stay. They come equipped with daily tea/coffee packets, a bar fridge, microwave, kettle, 2 sets of cutlery and crockery, a small 2 plate induction stove, pots, cooking utensils and a wash basin. I would, however, have loved to get some dishwashing liquid and cloths for washing and drying dishes included as well as a pair of scisors. There is a TV with couches and a 4-seater breakfast table. The bed and cushions were very comfortable with ample closet and dresser space that included a safe. I would have loved to see some artwork on the walls. There are numerous local artists that can easily depict traditional scenes out of daily Saudia life that would add some atmosphere to the hotel.
The bathroom had a shower/small combo bath and soap, shower gel and hand cream is included. We used 2 units during our visit and the first unit only had a shower. The floor was very slippery, and the outlet was built in such a way that the whole bathroom floor was full of water after a shower despite our best efforts. This could be improved. We could also not reach the bathroom window to open it. The heating for the bathroom water is obviously far away and the water had to run for many minutes before one could take a medium-hot shower. This seems wasteful to me in a water-scarce country.
Both the lounge and bedroom are equipped with central air conditioning that worked very well.
Free Wi-fi is included.
I would absolutely recommend a stay at this hotel.
