Al Muhaidb Al Diwan – Al Olaya

Al Muhaidb Al Diwan – Al Olaya Overview

I’ll be honest, when I first pulled up to Al Muhaidb Al Diwan – Al Olaya, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from a 3-star spot in this part of town. But you know what? Sometimes these mid-range places surprise you in the best ways, and this one actually delivers on the basics without trying too hard to be something it’s not.

The location is what really sold me on this place – you’re right in the heart of Riyadh‘s business district, which means everything feels accessible without that touristy bubble effect you get at some hotels. I mean, you can actually walk to decent restaurants and cafes, and there’s this authentic energy around the neighborhood that I really appreciated. The staff genuinely seemed to care about making sure guests were comfortable, not just going through the motions. Check-in was surprisingly smooth (no long waits, which honestly can be hit or miss at hotels in this price range), and the front desk guy actually gave me some solid recommendations for local spots that weren’t just the obvious tourist traps.

The rooms are clean and functional – nothing fancy, but they’ve got everything you actually need. The beds are comfortable enough that I slept well, and the air conditioning works properly, which is honestly half the battle in this climate. What I liked most was how quiet it stays at night despite being in such a central area. You get some street noise during the day, but it dies down after evening prayers, and by 10 PM it’s actually pretty peaceful. The wifi is decent throughout the building, though it gets a bit slower during peak hours when everyone’s streaming or video calling. Housekeeping was consistent too – fresh towels daily and they didn’t mess with my stuff scattered around the room, which I always appreciate. The bathroom setup is straightforward, good water pressure, and they keep it stocked with the essentials. Honestly, for a 3-star property, they’ve got the fundamentals down solid, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you’re spending most of your time exploring the city anyway. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re getting fair value – not luxury, but definitely not cutting corners on the things that actually matter for a good stay.

• Al-dhaferi from Yemen (8/10)

  The place has an amazing location right between Alfaisaliah tower and the Kingdom center. In addition to that you have multiple grocery stores, coffee shops, and dry cleaning right next to the location. The staff are also very friendly and kind. Finally, the price is really good for what you’re getting here.

• Alhagie from Gambia (6/10)

  The breakfast was not good as it seems customers don't have a choice. It is an imposed breakfast- take ir or leave. There is no coffee but tea only.

• Stewart from Belgium (6/10)

  The hotel was centrally located and the room/apartment was a good size and reasonably clean. Staff were generally helpful. Very good and keenly price laundry services were availabe next door and the hotel sorted it out accordingly.
