Hilton Riyadh Olaya

Hilton Riyadh Olaya

2/10 Terrible
"Avoid this hotel. The rooms are old-fashioned, poorly maintained, and have a constant and overwhelming stale cigarette odor that doesn’t go away. Fixtures are worn, cleanliness is inconsistent, and the overall condition feels neglected rather than “premium” as advertised. This is not a minor inconvenience — it directly affects your comfort and basic hygiene during your stay. For the price being charged, the standard is completely unacceptable and does not match what is being promised. If you value a clean, comfortable place to stay, book elsewhere. There are significantly better options available for less money. I was moved rooms twice, with no improvement. I decided to cancel my three night booking and stayed at a different hotel nearby, where the difference was immediate: clean, fresh, and properly maintained (Mercure Riyadh Al Anoud). Despite not using the rooms and checking out the same day, I was refused a refund, losing nearly 2,500 SAR. Their refusal to hear the customer, and robotic referral back to ‘terms & conditions’ fails to take into account the negligence, and made it clear just how low quality this hotel is. Do not risk it — choose another hotel."
