Holiday Inn Olaya, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Holiday Inn Olaya, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

“The most beautiful in the world is, of course, the world itself.”

Wallace Stevens H

I had stayed in this hotel for around 60 days (split across 6 months, as a part of business visit) in 2014.

Very cooperative staff.

Good location, very near to computer market and malls like AL-Faisaliah.

Lot of taxi options available outside the hotel.

It’s a big property with 2 different blocks, We used to have breakfast at one block and for the dinner we had to walk to the next block. Rooms can be changed on request basis.

The chefs here were very cooperative. Considering our request, they used to serve some Indian dishes like Dal curry for dinner(probably since we were staying for a longer period).Overall, the food served was really tasty and lot of options as well.

Has a decent pool outside the building, cleaned on a regular basis.

Well Equipped Gym and a nice spa is available.

They used to arrange Bar-B-Que nights near the pool side, which was really nice.

They have a good and spacious lock room where u can keep your luggage in safe custody.

A mosque is situated quite nearby.

Lot of Indian Hotels near the property.

Special thanks to Medhat, Front Office Manager for all the support he had given us during our stay.

I am a Platinum holder of IHG Rewards Club. Till now, Holiday Inn group of hotels has never failed to meet my expectations, even the Olaya property is no different.
