Dar Hashim Hotel Suites – Al Sahafa

Dar Hashim Hotel Suites – Al Sahafa Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Dar Hashim Hotel Suites – Al Sahafa, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in modest packages, and this little gem in the Al Sahafa district really grew on me during my stay.

The suites here are actually proper suites, not just hotel rooms with a fancy name slapped on them. I mean, you’ve got separate living areas that don’t feel cramped, and the kitchenette situation is surprisingly well thought out – they even stock it with decent coffee, which honestly made my mornings so much better. The whole vibe feels more like staying in someone’s well-appointed apartment than a typical hotel room. What really impressed me was how quiet it stays, even though you’re in a pretty active part of Riyadh. I was expecting city noise all night, but the windows do a solid job of keeping things peaceful. The staff runs a tight ship too – check-in was smooth, and when I had a minor issue with the AC (nothing dramatic, just needed a quick adjustment), they sorted it out within the hour.

Here’s the thing about the location that took me a bit to figure out – Al Sahafa might not be the flashiest district, but it’s actually pretty strategic if you know your way around the city. You’re close enough to the business areas without being stuck in all that traffic, and there are some genuinely good local restaurants within walking distance that most tourists never discover. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free, which anyone who’s driven in Riyadh will appreciate. I noticed the place tends to fill up with business travelers during the week (makes sense given the area), but weekends have a more relaxed feel. The 8.2 rating makes perfect sense to me – it’s not trying to be the Ritz, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home base rather than just somewhere to crash, and you don’t need all the bells and whistles of a luxury hotel, this spot really hits the sweet spot between comfort and value.
