Elegant Stay Riyadh Overview

You know what struck me first about Elegant Stay Riyadh? It’s one of those places that actually lives up to its name without trying too hard. I mean, when you see “elegant” in a hotel name, you sort of brace yourself for either complete disappointment or over-the-top marble everywhere – but this 4-star spot gets the balance just right.

The thing about staying in Riyadh is that you really want a place where you can unwind after dealing with the city’s intensity, and honestly, this hotel delivers on that front. The lobby has this warm, understated vibe – think rich wood tones and soft lighting rather than flashy chandeliers. Check-in was surprisingly smooth when I stayed there last spring, even though I arrived during what seemed like a busy conference week. The staff actually remembered my name by the second day, which doesn’t happen everywhere.

What I really appreciated were the little details that show someone’s paying attention. The rooms are well-appointed without being cluttered – decent workspace if you need to catch up on emails, blackout curtains that actually work (trust me, you’ll want those for afternoon naps), and the AC that doesn’t sound like a jet engine. The beds are genuinely comfortable, not just hotel-marketing comfortable. I slept better there than I expected, considering I’m usually pretty picky about pillows. The bathrooms are clean and modern, with good water pressure – honestly, after a long day exploring the city, that hot shower felt amazing. Parking was straightforward too, which isn’t always a given in busy areas. The hotel maintains that 8.0 rating for good reason – it’s the kind of place where things just work without drama, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you’re traveling.

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.

    The Kindest home owner

    What could be improved: All good

  • M from United Kingdom – 17 February 2025 (8/10)

    Location, communication, cleanliness and overall experience was good. Airport offer was offered and managed well. Extra blanket was offered when asked.

    What could be improved: Some noise from neighbourhood, some drilling work was being done during one night which disturbed a bit. Generally quiet.
    Toilets are not attached and there is another room – did not face any privacy issue however it is a two bedroom apartment and one room is rented out.
    No Kitchen! However, kettle and tea/coffee are available in the room. Bring your own towels.
