2-Star Hotels in Riyadh

"The good: 1. The room looks clean, and attitude of staff was okay. 2. Location wise is good with quite a few restaurants and supermarkets.  The bad: 1. Booked a room with windows but there is no window or rather it was a ventilation window.  2. Room card doesnt work every day and I had to get the receptionist to renew the room card every day. 3. WiFi is very unstable and slow.  4. Sound proofing is bad, I could literally hear kids shouting in the room at 2-3am.  5. Breakfast is just okay, don’t expect too much."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Great hostel right in the center of Riyadh, which makes everything super accessible to shops, restaurants, and transportation are all just a short walk away. The common kitchen is really convenient, and I love that they offer free drinking water, coffee, and tea anytime. One thing that could be improved is the bed mattresses, as they’re starting to look a bit old. Replacing them would make the stay even more comfortable. Special mention to Paul, the supervisor - extremely friendly, professional, and genuinely smart. I even dreaming about hiring him someday to help me build a hostel empire in Europe and the Philippines because he’s really that good at what he does! Overall, a great experience with just a few things that could be improved. Would definitely stay again!"

"All Good and nice , clean and comfortable"

"The hotel's location is excellent, just across the street from Kingdom Tower. The room amenities were complete, though a bit dated. Unfortunately, there were people drag racing late at night, which disturbed my sleep. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious and nutritious options. However, as Ramadan began on February 18th, non-Muslim guests had their breakfast relocated to a different area with fewer choices."

"Excellent and fast service Welcome reception Excellent and clear location Easy parking and car pickup and drop-off"

"The place is great, but the rooms are small, and the lower floor corridors smell of sewage."

"Very nice and neat place, near to metro train and others."

"Clean apartments, excellent workers, confused reception, especially Sudanese, who hangs in the morning, but their problem never provides a bed for kids for three days."

"Review: 5-Star Comfort with a Small Location Caveat Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently stayed at Centro Olaya Riyadh and had a wonderful experience. The hotel itself is impeccable—the rooms are modern, sleek, and exceptionally clean, offering a perfect urban retreat in the middle of a busy city. What I loved: Service: The staff were professional and went out of their way to ensure a smooth check-in and comfortable stay. Facilities: The rooftop pool and gym are highlights of the property, offering great views and a chance to relax. Vibe: It has a very chic, lifestyle-focused atmosphere that is perfect for both business travelers and couples. The only downside: The only thing to be aware of is that there aren’t many shops or convenience stores within immediate walking distance of the hotel entrance. If you need snacks, pharmacy items, or a quick retail fix, you’ll likely need to take a short Uber or drive to one of the nearby malls or commercial strips. Verdict: Despite the lack of immediate shops nearby, the quality of the hotel and the service make it a 5-star stay for me. I would definitely stay here again, just with a little more preparation for my personal supplies!"

"This is an apartment-style hotel, and the room is quite spacious with a long sofa chair. The bathroom is a bit small, without a separate wet and dry area or glass partition, so water splashes onto the toilet and toilet paper when showering. Also, breakfast is delivered to the room and mainly consists of pancakes with sauce."
