I must have stayed in the new tower, judging by the other reviews. I had a great experience: large, spacious, comfortable room, comfortable bed and pillows, spacious bathroom that was very modern, and reasonably modern decorations. Room service was excellent - both the food and the service. I didn't eat in the buffet, but the Arabian coffee in the lobby... More

The Hotel is well located, however all cabs are confused between holiday inn Olaya and Holiday Inn Al Qasr. Very Welcoming Staff on Check-in and very helpful. The Rooms are well maintained and clean, checked in into the New tower. The Lobby is smoking area. The Buffet restaurant however need to be upgraded. More

I spent four nights there while on business trip to Riyadh. I stayed in the old part of the hotel (hotel has 2 towers, one old one, and one brand new). I got a room on somewhat called an Executive floor. The room was spacious and neat, with a little bit out dated design. Except the room product, there are... More

I spent one night here while on a business trip to Riyadh. My room was somewhat dated and beat up but quiet. There was wired Internet access only in the room and wireless in the lobby was not free. Typically, you find either wireless in the room or free wireless in the lobby so that was a disappointment. The breakfast... More

Very conveniently located hotel in Riyadh city center. Bit away from busy street, so you can enjoy your sleep. Swift check-in, very pleasantly designed room, comfortable bed and super clean. I wouldnt mind few extra bathroom amenitiet. For one night business trip sleep over this is this place perfect solution. Will be back for sure. More

Holiday Inn Olaya is probably the best of the three Holiday Inn's in Riyadh. Location wise it's close to the centre of the city. It's confusing in that it's in two separate buildings so try to find out what one your room is in prior to your stay. I arranged a transfer via the hotel reception team, and the driver... More

I stayed on March 2012 for a business trip. I had to stay some days at the hotel, so the quality and service the hotel offered was important for me. The check-in (at night time) was smooth and I was upgraded to executive floor. That was very good because then I was able to use 5th floor executive lounge (6-22... More

I was unfortunate enough to have to stay at this hotel only bcs my usual hotel the Sheraton was full! It was a complete disaster from the moment we walked in, starting with being ignored by two morons on reception for a couple of minutes, when no one was infront of us! Then there was confusion over our booking as... More

For what its offering, for its location, for its price, The Holiday inn Olaya Riyadh is a decent place to stay at. I won't be very rude or negative about it since its my chosen place to stay whenever I am in town but I feel sad knowing that it might improve a lot. During my last stay, I had... More
