We choose this hotel for its proximity to Riyadh Metropolitano Stadium and its price. When I looked on Google, I thought that it might be possible to walk from the stadium, as were going to a concert and anticipating a surge in people using the Metro afterward. Now that we have been, I can say that it is not a walk I would want to do at night. It's not like central Madrid where lots of people are out until the early morning hours. At 2330 in the area of the hotel, there were not many people out and only a couple of restaurants open, which made it feel dark (this was on a Wednesday). The area itself is in more of an industrial area that is in the process of building more hotels. During the day, the area is great. Walk about a half mile to the Metro station and there are many restaurants, etc. but at night, even the area around the Metro felt very isolated. The hotel itself was good for the price. They offered a breakfast that looked reasonable. We had checked out (even though it wasn't noon yet) and had asked if they could hold onto our luggage for about an hour while we went across the street to get breakfast, since we missed theirs and were told that we could rent a locker from them for a minimum time period of 4 hours. That was a bit off putting. Otherwise, decent for what you pay in terms of amenities.
