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.

The hotel has issues with the fire alarm going off at the most random times. I stayed there for 5 nights and had issues each day. During three nights it went off at 3 or 4am, resulting in a sleepless night. The point of booking a hotel is to have a place to sleep so I asked for a refund. The best they could offer was usd 25 which is an insult.
