Very good

Room: Old room is fine if their maintenance is good . However, their maintenance was not so good …
Bathtub : Excellent with jetbath.However, again its maintenance is not good . Volume of hot water is limited , so it is not enough to enjoy jet bath…
Amenity is good .
Wifi is ok .
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.
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.

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.

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.
