Ewaa Express Hotel – Gaber Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Ewaa Express Hotel – Gaber, you immediately get the sense that this is a place that knows its audience. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — this three-star property focuses on getting the fundamentals right rather than overwhelming you with unnecessary frills. The lobby feels clean and welcoming, and honestly, after dealing with Riyadh traffic, the fact that there’s parking right here is already a win in my book.
Location & Neighborhood
The hotel sits in the Al Khalij district of Riyadh, and I have to say, the location really works. You’re close enough to the action without being stuck in the chaos of the city center — which, if you’ve spent any time in Riyadh, you know can be pretty intense. What surprised me is how much couples seem to love this spot (they rate it nearly 9 out of 10), and after staying here, I get it. The neighborhood has that sweet spot feeling where you can actually walk around a bit without feeling like you’re constantly dodging construction or traffic.
The Room Experience
My room was exactly what I expected from a solid three-star — clean, comfortable, and functional. The air conditioning works well (crucial in Saudi Arabia, obviously), and the bed was actually pretty comfortable. You’re not getting marble bathrooms or designer furniture, but everything feels well-maintained. I mean, sometimes you just want a place where the WiFi works, the shower has good pressure, and you can get a decent night’s sleep — this delivers on all those fronts.
What Sets It Apart
Here’s something interesting — this place has way more repeat guests than most hotels in its category, and after staying here, I totally understand why. The staff genuinely seems to remember people, and there’s this low-key efficiency to how everything runs. It’s not flashy service, but it’s reliable. Also, that free private parking I mentioned? In Riyadh, that’s honestly worth its weight in gold. You don’t realize how stressful hotel parking can be until you don’t have to worry about it.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t a spa resort or a business hotel trying to impress corporate travelers with fancy meeting rooms. What Ewaa Express does well is provide a solid, no-nonsense stay in a genuinely good location. The 8.6 rating makes sense when you consider that people aren’t expecting miracles — they want clean, comfortable, and well-located, and that’s exactly what they get. If you’re the type of traveler who spends most of your time exploring the city anyway, this place gives you a reliable home base without breaking the bank. Plus, knowing that so many people come back here repeatedly tells you something about the consistency of the experience.
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.

Reviews of Ewaa Express Hotel – Gaber
Mustafa from United Kingdom (9/10)
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The service was exceptional, especially from Mr. Islam and his colleague at the reception, who were both incredibly professional and welcoming. The staff at the restaurant and concierge were also attentive and provided excellent service throughout our stay. We had two very clean rooms, each equipped with a sitting area and a kitchen. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the necessary utensils, cutlery, cups, and even a flask, which made it feel like a home away from home. The hotel’s laundry room was another useful feature.
The breakfast offered a good variety, with plenty of options to suit different tastes, although some items could have been kept hotter. The location was perfect for us, with a large mosque just a 2-minute walk away, which also hosted Friday prayers—a wonderful convenience for our family. Highly recommended!Faisal from Saudi Arabia (9/10)
