Although some reviews mentioned that the hotel is far from certain shopping and tourist sites, it's considered well-placed for easy access around the city, especially with affordable Uber options. The area is noted for its tranquility, providing a calm stay amidst the bustling city.
Other commendable aspects include cleanliness, friendly staff and good value for money. Some guests appreciated its proximity to government offices and embassies, which is particularly beneficial for business visitors. With excellent breakfast offerings and a well-maintained environment, the location enhances the overall positive experience at the hotel.
Minor downsides included narrow parking spaces and construction work nearby. However, overall, the hotel's central location in Riyadh's heart with many facilities nearby proves advantageous for many types of travelers.
Breakfast
Several guests highlighted the exceptional quality and the freshness of certain items, such as the fresh omelette station and pastries. There are also mentions of particular attention to detail, like having breakfast served in rooms and being open to feedback regarding the breakfast spread.
Despite these positive remarks, there are notable criticisms. Some guests found the breakfast to be repetitive with limited daily variation, which was a disappointment for others expecting a more dynamic menu. Issues such as stale pastries, dry bread and some overcooked items were mentioned, although these seem to be less common. A few reviews indicate dissatisfaction with the location of the breakfast area, describing it as too small and improperly situated, which could affect the overall dining experience.
In summary, while Hayat Al Riyadh Hotel's breakfast generally receives commendation for its variety, taste and inclusivity, consistency and occasional execution issues appear to detract from the experience for some guests.
Dinner
The restaurant staff were commended for their responsiveness and willingness to replace dishes quickly when issues, such as overly salty pasta, were reported. However, some reviews indicated areas for improvement, particularly in menu availability. There were several mentions of items not being available, leading some guests to feel that the menu was more decorative than functional. Despite these limitations, the quality of food and the variety of dishes for dinner were generally well-received. Pricing was mentioned to be reasonable and late-night cooking service was appreciated for being affordable compared to outside options.
Overall, while there are some hiccups regarding menu availability, the dinner experience at Hayat Al Riyadh Hotel is generally positive, driven by good food quality, excellent service and diverse options.
Rooms
Cleanliness generally received positive feedback. However, some reviews pointed out occasional lapses in housekeeping services and preparation before guests' arrival. It seems that room service and maintenance could be improved, as guests have experienced delays and issues like small showers, bathroom maintenance problems and soundproofing concerns.
Despite these minor setbacks, the hotel's rooms are often praised for their comfort, cleanliness and ample space. The decor and facilities contribute to a pleasant stay, making it a suitable choice for travelers seeking a spacious and comfortable environment in Riyadh.
Beds
While the general consensus on the beds themselves leans toward comfort and quality, opinions on the pillows were more mixed. Some guests found the pillows to be uncomfortable, citing issues such as neck pain and poor quality. Despite these occasional critiques, the overall sentiment suggests that the hotel maintains a standard of comfort and cleanliness that many guests appreciate with the rooms being both spacious and well-kept.

Parking
The basement parking, while offering free spaces, has a steep and narrow entrance and exit that can be particularly difficult for larger vehicles. Many guests have mentioned this as a challenging aspect, noting the entrance is sharp and hazardous. The parking slots themselves are narrow and often crowded, leading to congestion and limited availability. External parking spaces along the road outside the hotel provide some relief, though these too are often crowded.
The car entrance control can cause delays if not well-managed and the overall design of the parking area has room for improvement. Despite these setbacks, the fact that there is parking available at all, especially in a bustling area, is a plus for many visitors. Nonetheless, potential guests with larger vehicles or those uncomfortable with tight parking should be aware of these issues.
Family
However, there are some concerns to be mindful of. Several families reported issues such as a bad smell in the suite, insufficient parking spaces for family cars and a bathroom door that doesn’t lock, a significant concern when traveling with children. Additionally, the absence of cribs for younger children and noise disturbances from other children in the hallways may affect the stay for those seeking a quieter environment.
The surroundings of the hotel lack nearby restaurants, cafes and shops, which could be limiting for families looking for dining options close by. Furthermore, the hotel faces some logistical issues, such as the challenge of going outdoors during the hot summer months. Families expressed a desire for more flexible checkout timings to better accommodate the extreme temperatures of the region.
Overall, while the hotel provides good family accommodations and excellent service, there are some areas that might benefit from improvements to better cater to families with children.
3 Star
Some visitors found that the hotel exceeded their expectations, even suggesting it had elements that matched a four-star or even five-star level. However, there was a recurring sentiment that the cost of the rooms and breakfast did not align with the value provided with many feeling that the price was higher compared to other hotels in the same category. Despite varying opinions on value for money, the Hayat Al Riyadh Hotel is still considered worth considering for accommodation due to its solid three-star features and service.
