The hotel was normal , The gym is small , But the rooms are a bit bigger .

Quiet laid back Hotel. Big room. Relatively new bedding and towels. Nice design. There was a Microwave in the room which was surprising. Still a bit pricy for what is actually offered. Breakfast was good. 
The Wifi connection in the room was horrible which was really annoying , and they don't seem to be bothered about fixing it as they just send a worker to reset the router. 
Propably because it's not an issue for the mostly Saudi guests who already have their Data service, but if you are a visitor you will struggle with this.

Beautiful and quiet. 
It's a special location.
Reexperience him again.

For business travelers, the Ewaa Express Hotel AI Olaya in Riyadh perfectly meets the core needs of ”efficiency, convenience, and high cost-effectiveness,” making it a practical choice for business trips in the area.

Location and Transportation: A Convenient Landmark in the Business Hub

Located in the heart of Riyadh's business district, AI Olaya, the hotel is within a 5-minute walk of multiple bus stops. Business landmarks such as the King's Building and the Riyadh Convention Center are just a 10-15 minute drive away, with taxis and ride-hailing services offering extremely fast response times, eliminating any anxiety about commuting time. Within 300 meters, there are numerous 24-hour convenience stores and chain restaurants (such as Starbucks and local fast-food brands), making it incredibly convenient to quickly solve dining and last-minute shopping needs before returning home late or attending meetings early in the morning, significantly saving business time.

Guest Rooms and Amenities: A Practical ”Business Space”

The guest rooms follow a minimalist and practical design, free of unnecessary decorations, but prioritizing core needs: the beds are comfortably firm, paired with blackout curtains to quickly alleviate the fatigue of long business trips; high-speed free Wi-Fi is provided, and in our tests, uploading and downloading large files and conducting online meetings were smooth without any lag, demonstrating network stability far exceeding that of hotels in the same price range; the work area features a spacious desk with an adjustable-brightness lamp, making it highly efficient for handling work documents. In addition, some room types include a mini-fridge for storing bottled water, snacks, etc., a thoughtful touch; and a stable 24-hour hot water supply with consistently optimal water pressure and temperature demonstrates meticulous attention to detail for business comfort.

Services and Dining: Efficient and Hassle-Free Business Amenities

The services are perfectly tailored to the fast-paced needs of business travelers: Check-in/check-out procedures are simplified, with staff fluent in English, and the process from registration to receiving room keys typically takes no more than 3 minutes. For early morning flights or meetings, informing the front desk in advance allows for a ”quick packed breakfast” service (including sandwiches, fruit, and coffee), preventing delays. While breakfast is simple, it offers a variety of nutritious options, including bread, eggs, oatmeal, and local specialty porridge. The flexible 7:00-9:30 service time accommodates different commuting schedules. In addition, the hotel provides free luggage storage and printing/copying (basic business center services), eliminating the need to search for extra work space when needed.

Overall, this hotel doesn't pursue luxury, but it excels in meeting the essential needs of business travelers. From convenient transportation and office support to efficient service, it effectively reduces the hassle of business trips, making it a suitable choice for business professionals who prioritize cost-effectiveness and efficient work.

Excellent hotel for the price. The staff were extremely respectful, especially the workers and receptionists. We arrived around 11 AM, yet they still gave us our room. I recommend it.

Convenient Location, Comfortable Stay with a Few Lighting Quirks
I stayed at EWAA Express Khurais in Riyadh and overall had a pleasant experience. The location is convenient—about a 15-minute walk to a shopping area with plenty of food options like Starbucks, KFC, Wendy’s, Al Baik, and a Panda hypermarket. 
The hotel is simple but functional. Rooms are clean and spacious, with a large, comfortable bed. Initially, I was assigned a room on the 4th floor, which felt quite dark due to having no outside view. The staff were kind enough to switch me to a room on the 2nd floor, which had a full-height window facing the highway. The difference: the 4th floor room was quieter but darker, while the 2nd floor room was brighter with a view, though some traffic noise was noticeable. I chose the 2nd floor in the end as I prefer natural light.
One unique point is the corridor lighting. The hotel doesn’t use ceiling lights in the hallways, relying instead on small wall-mounted lights. This makes the corridors feel quite dim. It seems to be a design choice across the EWAA hotel group, not just this location. If you're sensitive to low lighting or feel uneasy in darker spaces, this might be something to consider.
Breakfast was decent—not a feast, but enough to fill up. No egg station, but the basics are covered. Also worth noting: the hotel offers bicycles for guests to borrow, which is a nice touch, although I didn’t try it myself.
Overall, a good value stay if you’re looking for a clean, well-located hotel with friendly staff and don’t mind a few quirks in lighting and noise.

This was my first time visiting Abha, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The hotel was excellent, with only a few minor issues, such as the soundproofing of the rooms, where all sounds were audible, and the room service not changing the towels during my stay. I highly recommend this hotel, and if I were to visit again, I would definitely choose the same hotel. I would also like to thank all the respectful and helpful staff.
