Al-Shurfah Loft Al Riyadh – الشرفه لوفت الرياض

Al-Shurfah Loft Al Riyadh – الشرفه لوفت الرياض Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Al-Shurfah Loft Al Riyadh? The name translates to “The Balcony Loft,” and honestly, that’s exactly what it feels like – this elevated hideaway that gives you a different perspective on the city. I stayed here last spring when Riyadh was in that sweet spot between the cooler months and the brutal summer heat, and the whole experience felt refreshingly authentic compared to the usual international chain hotels you see everywhere.

The loft concept really works here – these aren’t your typical cramped hotel rooms with that weird carpet-meets-bathroom-tile combo. The spaces actually breathe, with high ceilings that make you forget you’re in a desert city where everyone’s usually battling for AC. What I loved most was how they’ve managed to blend modern comfort with subtle nods to local architecture. The balconies (and yes, most rooms have them) aren’t just decorative – you’ll actually want to sit out there in the evening when the temperature drops and the city starts to come alive. The view isn’t necessarily Instagram-perfect, but it’s real Riyadh, which I actually prefer to those sterile city panoramas.

The staff here gets it – they’re not overly formal but they know their stuff. Check-in was smooth, parking was straightforward (which, let me tell you, matters in this city), and when I mentioned I was looking for good local food, the front desk guy gave me directions to this hole-in-the-wall mandi place that ended up being one of my best meals. That 8.3 rating makes sense to me – it’s not trying to be the flashiest place in town, but it delivers on the fundamentals really well. The 4-star rating feels about right too; you’re getting solid comfort and service without the stuffiness that sometimes comes with higher-end places. I mean, the WiFi was fast, the bed was actually comfortable (not too soft, not like sleeping on concrete), and the bathroom had proper water pressure – honestly, that’s winning in my book. If you’re coming to Riyadh for business or just want a base that feels more like staying at a friend’s well-appointed apartment than a corporate hotel, this place hits that sweet spot perfectly.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Riyadh through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best districts for experiencing the city’s traditional atmosphere and modern developments.
