"This is the best hotel I've stayed at in Riyadh so far, and the price was very reasonable. I hope they don't raise their prices in the future and instead offer promotions. I also hope the hotel doesn't mess with the prices when I visit and offers discounts. ♥️👍🏼"

The Ewaa Express Hotel - Al Olaya is an ideal spot for travelers wanting to discover the city. Visitors to Riyadh will find that the Ewaa Express Hotel - Al Olaya is a fantastic accommodation choice. The hotel is conveniently located just 13km from Riyadh Station and 39km from King Khalid International Airport. Being just minutes away from Bank Albilad Metro Station allows guests to explore the city with ease. Seeing Riyadh's sights from this hotel is easy with Al - Mallouhi Mosque, Al Gawza Park and Mosque of Abdulmohsen Al Abdulmohsen Alswailem all close by. This hotel makes a great place to kick back and relax after a long day of sightseeing.
"The room was nicely decorated, the size was decent, and overall, everything felt reasonably good.
However, there were quite a few downsides that made me unsure about the overall experience.
Room service was very limited, and the air conditioner had a slight odor (not too strong, but noticeable).
There was a small gap in the window, so the room heated up quickly once the AC was turned off.
Unfortunately, the breakfast was very disappointing and lacked flavor."

9.2/10
Great
GGuest UserWe were just staying overnight as we had a long layover for our flight but the accommodation was perfect for our needs. We'd initially planned to take advantage of the gym and pool but in the end we were too tired so didn't even look at them. The receptionist sorted out our room quickly and we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room - more a small suite, with a kitchen-diner-lounge, and separate shower room and large bedroom.
Two small bottles of water were provided, so I could make tea without touching the brown water in the taps. We ordered food from Deliveroo - which took ages to arrive but filled the hole. And I was able to log on to my Netflix on the large TV in the lounge to watch a film before bed. The bed was very comfortable and even with the air con switched off the room was a pleasant temperature all night. We were woken at 4am by the call to prayer, which was a very musical if rather earlier than we intended to wake up.
Good shower and ordered breakfast, which was delivered to the room. Breakfast was great, and very substantial only thing missing was some fresh coffee (tea was provided) but I expect that would have been included if I'd thought to ask for it.
All in all great value for a comfortable stay.

GGuest UserConvenient 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.

GGuest UserI visited during the off-season, so the room rate was quite reasonable. The room itself was spacious, and being street-facing, it offered a bit of a view. However, the windows were quite dirty; when the sun shone in, all you could see were the dirt spots on the glass.

MMFH Bin HamoodahI stayed for two nights at Nova Rotana Hotel in Riyadh, and overall, it was an excellent experience.
The King room was clean and comfortable. Reception staff were very professional and fast, and they kindly gave us the room earlier than the official check-in time.
The location is outstanding — in the quiet and convenient Al Olaya area.
Services like cleanliness, internet, and hospitality were excellent. Breakfast was good and standard.
A couple of minor notes: the A/C was a bit loud even at the lowest fan setting, and the gym/spa/pool hours for women were limited (morning 8–10 AM, and evening 8–10 PM). A bit more flexibility would be appreciated.
Overall, I highly recommend the hotel for its great value and prime location.

GGuest UserThe facilities is located in the middle of a building site so extremely noisy so very difficult to sleep as the work to late at night and start around 4.30am.

EErtiaohuleThe room is quite big and the environment and sanitation are OK. There is free parking. There are some food and drinks available for purchase in the lobby downstairs, and there is also a pool table. What's interesting is that the sign for cleaning or do not disturb is actually a small blackboard, and it is equipped with chalk to write it yourself.

BB-Great hotel, great location, great staff.
To be honest the staff were very catering, I even checked out later than I was allowed to which I really appreciate from them and they let me leave my luggage in the hotel when I was leaving for a short while, would definitely recommend.
7.5/10
GGuest UserThe room is quite big. You don't need to order breakfast, as it may not be available anyway. It is close to the exhibition and not far from the airport.

PPranav Patil PTowlan Suits 1 Hotel, Riyadh
Location & Transportation:
The hotel is located approximately 36km from RUH Terminal 5, with no public transport options available. You must take a taxi, costing between 85-100 SAR.
Be careful when booking—Towlan Group has around 12 hotels in Riyadh, and selecting the wrong one on apps like Careem, Uber, or InDrive can lead to extra costs. Many listings are in Arabic, which caused confusion for us.
This is outside of city, to visit main city it takes 40-60 SAR cost each way for cab.
Parking: Outside parking is available for guests.
Room: Rooms are very big, spacious, and well-equipped, featuring a separate hall, kitchen, and bedroom. However, no tea or coffee is provided—you’ll need to bring your own if needed.
The hotel has 3 floors, with roughly 20 large rooms on each floor. Wi-Fi is available, but there is no breakfast or food service on-site.
A key point to note: traveling from the hotel into central Riyadh costs an additional 40-60 SAR each way on ride-hailing apps. This significantly adds to your trip's cost and inconvenience.
If you need a spacious suite-style room and don’t mind the remote location or lack of dining options, the hotel offers reasonable value.
A decent choice for travelers seeking spacious accommodations with kitchen facilities, but not ideal for those reliant on public transport or expecting on-site dining. Double-check the address carefully before booking to avoid taxi.
