The hotel has improved since i first visited 3 years ago - reception has now relocated and they provide a car to collect and take you to and from the airport. The rooms are unchanged, in need of an fittings update and smell of smoke - goes with the territory though. The marble floors do not help when people in... More

I used this hotel as a stopover hotel on my way out of Saudi Arabia. It is the only hotel anywhere near the airport, and although a bit pricey, if setting off for an early flight it is very useful. I found the hotel to be a little tired in terms of fittings but to be perfectly honest I have... More

This hotel is located at the bottom of the runway at Riyadh airport. There is nothing to do in the area as it is surrounded by desert. On the plus side, the hotel was empty and I was able to take a swim in the pool without anyone disturbing me. If this wasn't Saudi, I would have certainly considered taking... More

Had to stay here for a 2-day all-day workshop at the hotel. Rooms are not bad, but not sure about the Five star rating. Food was average, nothing stands-out but you can swallow your bites. I think its overpriced when compared to similar hotels. Overall, it should be 3-3.5 star hotel. Wouldn't stay here again unless i had too.

I got stranded at Riyadh airport due to a mix-up with flights. This was quite expensive but better than going all the way back into Riyadh city - where these is nothing to do anyway. The hotel itself is out dated and the food is poor. It is full of air hotesses and crew passing through Saudi. Staff was also... More

This is the closest hotel to King Khaled International Airport, Riyadh. Nothing spectacular. They call themselves 5 star but highly doubt it. This hotel is basically a refurbished place. Rooms are alright for a quick transit. Food is just about alright. Stay here if you re transiting through KIA Airport.

The newly refurbished rooms have a major flaw in the showers; you can not not take a shower without holding the shower head in your hand. The shower is misaligned. Great service by bellboys, room service and the front desk. The gym is nice and the pool is great. Quiet rooms are away from the elevators

Nice and spacious restaurant on the top floor with a good buffett dinner for SAR 130. Other hotels have different prices for the soup and salad buffett or the full buffett, not this one. It is full price only. The... More
