Hidden Gem
Actually this property outshined my expectations. Booked 3 rooms on short notice with 2 colleagues. Had low expectations due to the excellent prices.
Arrived at 10am planning to just drop our bags in the lobby due to the early arrival before going out for meetings. The gentleman at the reception immediately contacted housekeeping and arranged 3 rooms. Rooms are very modern and incredibly clean. Grest restaurant and also a cafe in the lobby. Really cant say enough positive things about this property. Everyone we interacted with were extremely friendly. Will definitely be staying in this hotel on all my future Riyahd trips.

Clean, but dated and run down and nothing worked!
The Hotel and staff were ok but nothing worked properly! I checked in and no internet. They spent half an hour trying to get me online. Then it dropped out again and didn't come back. The moved me to another room where it worked (although not great). There was no TV remote. They brought me one but that only worked intermittently. The coffee machine was broken. The ironing board and the iron were broken. The second ironing board they brought me was broken too. I ironed on the floor! I went upstairs to the restaurant for dinner. No-one there except me. I asked for a sprite and waited 20 mins and then gave up and went to the downstairs restaurant. On the way down I met the waiter coming with my drink - a Pepsi because they ran out of sprite. The shower door has a big gap at the bottom and water escaped flooding the bathroom floor. No towels etc available up at the pool. Staff were nice enough and bed was comfortable. Just frustrating that nothing worked!

TOP Hotel jedoch mit der Instandhaltung ist man hintendran! Schlecht behobene Wasserschäden und Silikon sollte viel helfen. Frühstücksbüffet für fast 20€ pro Person war uns zu teuer, nachdem täglich 80€ pro Person fürs Zimmer verlangt wurden. Supermarkt ist praktisch 2 Gebäude weiter. Wir wollten eigentlich nrt aufs Ronaldo-Fussballspiel und das wurde über 2 Tage später verlegt und da waren wir leider schon abgereist. Wir fragten unzählige Leute, ob man wenigstens eine Trainingsveranstaltung besuchen kann und wurden nur VERARSCHT!

It’s okay I like the room but no extras..
Room is modern, spacious and clean. My only complaint is the available extras I didn’t have. No toiletries in the bathroom no drinks or snacks in the room I would expect that in a less expensive room but I paid for the most expensive room. I called house keeping and asked for a comb and extra blanket and they told me they don’t have any. None of the TVs had remotes which isn’t a big deal but still.

Poor Service and Poor Food
Not-so-good:
- The breakfast menu was very limited and not too good.
- The batteries on the bathroom scales and TV remote were dead so Im asked for them to be replaced. They weren't.
- The coffee and milk in my room were not replaced.
This is supposed to be a 4-star hotel. I've had better experiences in 2 and 3-star hotels.

Better name than service
The service of the hotel lagged ambition. Emails were ignored and even someone calling the hotel was given the answer yes, yes, of course and notihng happened.
They are slow to comply and for me the name set way to high expectations.
