Rooms are very old fashioned with seems 2nd Generation TV of 80s. Not enough ventilation in room to let natural light and air to come. There was a small window facing other rooms making it almost of no use. Renovation was going on, so may be one can hope that rooms will get improved. It is highly advised that one... More

Paying a $300 for a bed only room i should get something better than this very old room ..... a 20 years old TV 20" !!! cannot imagine Room is dark all the day as it only had a very small window facing some chiller fans .... nothing worth money

Riyadh is not the most exciting place to visit, and the Marriott reflects that. The hotel is under renovation (probably built in the 70s). The new rooms are ok, though quite small and noisy - the hotel is on a main road. The lobby and conference rooms are still "old"; restaurant is new (and serves good food), but not exactly... More

Good, clean rooms, but slightly small, no balcony. Good breakfast buffet. Aircon inside hotel a bit too cold. Nice spa area with pool, jaccuzzi, steam room, sauna, gym; no extra cost. A nicer outside sitting area would have been nice. Not much to do in the area of the hotel. Good restaurant on site.

I stayed in the Marriott for a business stay in Riyadh. The hotel you stay in in Riyadh is important as there isn't a great deal to do outside of the hotel, so you will spend quite a bit of time there. The hotel rooms are undergoing renovation, I got one of the newer ones on the first floor which... More

A brief (thankfully) two night stay at the Marriott in Riyadh. I last stayed in this property fifteen years ago and I can honestly say that apart from the lobby being refurbished the place seems exactly the same. Rooms are tired and not conductive to business travel. Despite the Saudi sunlight my room seemed dark all day - there is... More

Marriott's tend to have a certain standard to which they abide, yet this one seemed to be very different. The service was exceptional, which overall, I found no lack of in the Middle East. The condition of the rooms was somewhat subpar for Marriotts' standards. In my experience, people stay at Marriotts because of they are pretty much the same... More

I stayed at this hotel for my first visit to Saudi Arabia and indeed the Middle East. Like many first time Westerners I had no really objective expectations so was intrigued by the explosives sniffer used on the hotel car we booked to take us from the airport to the hotel (a service which was extremely efficient and reasonably priced,...

1980's style, needs an update badly. It's in a really dull area with small windows curtains that are for show and no use, overlooking nothing. The bed is comfortable, trade mark Marriott, has the best beds.
