The room was quiet big and spacious. The location was great. Breakfast needs alot of attention needs improvement, not much choice to choose from and the quality of food was not even up to the mark. The amenities in the room were of poor quality, the iron in the room was a simple one (no steam iron available) the shampoo n stuff was of very poor quality, the tv in the room was not working properly. I requested the reception to arrange a taxi/ cab to the airport which he simply denied thank GOD i had the cream app other wise i would have struggled to get a ride towards the airport.
The hotel room was clean and comfortable, and the environment was elegant! The hotel breakfast was rich and varied, and the front desk staff had a great attitude. It's very close to Kingdom Centre, just a 10-minute walk. There's also a Chinese restaurant, Jin Xiu Dong Fang (錦繡東方), right across from Kingdom Centre, offering authentic Chinese cuisine.
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!
Saudi has many local hotel which are clean and tide. However this hotel is not only clean tidy but the facilities are also very nice including the pool and gym. I recommend this hotel for families and individuals. thanks
I stayed 3 nights in a King standard and had their breakfast buffet - both room and food was very good. The staff were exceptional - friendly, polite and quick to make sure my stay was enjoyable. The business lounge was a great place to do some work. And I was very happy to use their gym which was available for both women and men all times. Their lobby lounge was also a nice space to relax. They hosted a cultural event for the Founder’s Day holiday which was nice to feel like we were part of the celebration. The neighbourhood also had many options for good eating. I would stay here again if I come back to Riyadh.
The room was quite small, in the typical Ibis style, which was fine. However, there wasn't enough space for luggage.
I was disappointed with the service at the front desk. The female staff member on duty did not seem welcoming or willing to assist. She asked me to wait during check-in without explaining the reason, and her facial expression appeared unhappy throughout the interaction. In my opinion, she would be better suited for a back-office role rather than front-of-house, as she does not represent the level of service expected at the reception.

I have no words to describe how good this hotel is
Itreally feels like a five star hotel
I am a retired physician and I am from Honolulu Hawaii so know hotels. and traveling through Scandinavia in much of the rest Europe and the UK of the last four years I’ve stayed in more than two dozen four star hotels. 
And this one is easily is in the top 10%
The service is the best of any hotel I’ve ever been in. from the reception desk to the restaurant staff, to the cheerful people who efficiently run the coffee shop in the lobby etc.
The buffet is beyond belief and à la cart menu is extensive and available late into the night
 i’ve been to several well-known Middle Eastern restaurants in London in Oxford UK the buffet here is better than any of them
The end hotel has the grandest lobby of all two dozen that I’ve seen for the last four years
And the location cannot be beat
I intended to only stay four days, but extended to three times that one reason was, I wanted to try all the dishes in the buffet at least twice. I was planning to try some of the recommended restaurants in town, but decided that it is unlikely that there will be any better than the this hotels restaurant.
I was trying hard to think of anything negative to say just to show some balance, but I cannot think of anything
This is the place to stay if you are in Riyadh
Everything is great about this hotel. Cleanliness, staff very helpful, food was good. Maybe a lower mark on its location.
Bardzo dobry

Amazing
GGuest UserAll facilities are very good, the sanitary environment is very comfortable, the view is very good, and the night view is beautiful. There is a luxurious and colorful shopping mall next to it. The whole hotel is also very luxurious, modern and elegant with gold glittering. The gym is great, and the view is very wide when you get up in the morning to exercise. The swimming pool is also beautiful.
GGuest UserThe breakfast was very rich. The room is not particularly big, but it is ok. The location is good, there is a subway station downstairs, McDonald's and some other local restaurants and small supermarkets not far away, and it is not far from the city center.
RRafalMHotel Aloft Riyadh gwarantuje udany pobyt w Rijadzie - kilka minut spaceru od stacji metra, niedaleko również dostępne bary szybkiej obsługi. Pokoje są duże, czyste i przestronne, do dyspozycji są wygodne łóżka oraz sieć WiFi. Pobyt przedłużyłem o jedną noc i nie było problemu z pozostaniem w tym samym pokoju, mimo oddzielnych, korzystniejszych rezerwacji. Rekomenduję i chętnie wrócę!
GGuest UserFantastic and clean hotel. The staff are incredibly polite, especially Chef Ahmed, who provides excellent customer service. I'd like to thank the hotel management for their excellent choice of employees. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to book a 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 UserThe hotel is very close to the city center. Although the decoration is very old, it is very cost-effective. The room we stayed in did not have a bathtub, but I personally felt it was very comfortable. The transportation nearby is very convenient and it is close to the bus station
GGuest UserArrived at the hotel late, i found my room ready!
The room is clean, the staff are friendly and I loved the room design. Good choice for families.
TTONGThe hotel is located in the north of Riyadh, the new district, like the development zones of some cities in China. There will be a king's financial district and many high-rise buildings under construction in the urban area. It only takes 15 minutes to get to the airport. But it is a bit far from the old town. The facilities of the hotel are very good, especially with a bathtub. There are no bathtubs in many international brand hotels in this desert city. The hotel's restaurant is also very good, the food and taste are very much like, the buffet has a lot of precious fruits, value for money.
GGuest UserDuring our stay, both Butler Kim and Butler Hani were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. They made everything feel easy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Kim, in particular, truly stood out. She was cheerful, warm, and very thoughtful, and even took the initiative to help my husband and me take beautiful photos, which meant so much to us. Her genuine care and positive energy made our experience feel personal rather than routine.
MMarsyahaimiIt was located in the mid city.So,expectation with traffic should be there. Luxurius design. Moderate service. We encounter with toilet flush mulfunctional multiple times and need to ask for maintanence to fix it. Other than that,the valet parking was available,for the guest to park their vehicle during the stay.
