For what its offering, for its location, for its price, The Holiday inn Olaya Riyadh is a decent place to stay at. I won't be very rude or negative about it since its my chosen place to stay whenever I am in town but I feel sad knowing that it might improve a lot. During my last stay, I had... More

I stayed here because the price offered by the hotel I usually stay in was ridiculous. The Holiday Inn isn't cheap, but nowhere in Riyadh is. And it's a Holiday Inn, so you're not expecting 5 star luxury. That said, and although breakfast was disappointing, it's fine. I found the staff friendly and welcoming, the room was clean and comfortable,... More

Spent 4 nights at this hotel 2 weeks ago. As per some of the other reviews, the hotel staff are a bit slow at getting things done. Check-in took a while (the room card machine stopped working temporarily), but I think this is why I got a Suite room instead of a standard one. The room I stayed in (315)... More

Average Holiday Inn, with average Holiday Inn'y stuff, the rooms are the same no matter where on the planet you are. Few niggles - the food is over priced, the selection is not great. The AC in the room is stuck on 19.5 - i set it to 30 but its not moving and hasn't for 3 days. House keeping... More

The hotel is worth what you are spending there. Good service and food. The location is really good and you have Kingdom tower and a very good computer market on walkable distance. I would definitely recommend this to people travelling specificaly from India More

After 3 stays at this hotel, nothing has changed. Very slow check-in. Total confusion at the front desk. Most importantly for me was the fitness facilities.... The gym equipment was antiquated and several machines broken. Cardio stuff like treadmills and stairclimber in serious need of maintenance. The weight training machines very poor and barely useable, old and antiquated. More importantly,... More

I stayed in the new tower for a few days, the room was clean and spacious, but couldn't find any tv channels to watch English soccer on. Internet access was reliable but a bit slow. Staff were very friendly. Airport pickup was in a car which stalled once or twice on the way to the hotel, about 20 minutes drive.... More

Stayed there a couple of times. Nothing worth mentioning except for a fairly nice breakfast. Still very expensive for a Holiday Inn. More
