AL Masem serviced apartments – Exit 9

AL Masem serviced apartments – Exit 9 Overview

You know what, when I first stumbled across AL Masem serviced apartments – Exit 9, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect – the name itself is pretty straightforward, almost utilitarian, which honestly turned out to be exactly what this place is about. It’s one of those spots that doesn’t try to wow you with fancy lobbies or over-the-top amenities, but instead just focuses on getting the basics really, really right.

The thing that struck me most during my stay was how genuinely livable these apartments feel. I mean, you walk in and there’s actually proper counter space in the kitchenette (not just some sad mini-fridge situation), decent-sized closets that can handle more than three days’ worth of clothes, and – this might sound small but it matters – the Wi-Fi actually works consistently throughout the unit. The furniture isn’t Instagram-perfect, but it’s comfortable and sturdy, the kind of stuff you’d actually want to live with for a few weeks. The beds are surprisingly good too, not too soft, not too firm, and the blackout curtains actually block out light, which is honestly rarer than it should be in serviced apartments. I stayed on the fourth floor and barely heard any street noise, though I can’t speak for the lower floors.

What really won me over, though, was the practical side of things. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no drawn-out presentations about facilities I’ll never use, just keys and the information I actually needed. The staff seems to understand that people staying here are often in transition, maybe relocating for work or staying somewhere temporarily, and they handle things with a kind of low-key efficiency that’s actually pretty rare. Parking was never an issue when I was there (though I was visiting during what seemed like a quieter period), and there’s a decent little market within walking distance where you can grab essentials without having to plan a whole expedition. The laundry setup works well too – shared machines but never seemed overcrowded, and they’re actually maintained properly. Look, it’s not going to be the highlight of your trip or anything, but sometimes what you need is just a solid, reliable place that doesn’t create any additional stress in your life, and AL Masem really delivers on that front. The 3-star rating feels about right – it’s not luxury, but it’s definitely a step above basic, and for the kind of stay this place is designed for, that’s exactly the sweet spot you want.

Best hotels in Riyadh range from luxurious properties in the historic Diriyah district to ultra-modern hotels with stunning views of the Kingdom Centre Tower and contemporary architecture.
