The hotel had a great central location in Riyadh, making it convenient for business trips. The rooms were modern and quite spacious, plus the staff was friendly and genuinely helpful. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, especially for those seeking variety. Also, while the service was quick, it wasn’t always easily accessible as I had to call a few times to get through. Overall, the value for money was decent considering the amenities offered.
