Gloria Inn Riyadh

Gloria Inn Riyadh Overview

You know what? Gloria Inn Riyadh is one of those places that doesn’t try to be something it’s not – and honestly, that’s exactly what I liked about it. When I first walked into the lobby, I wasn’t blown away by marble floors or crystal chandeliers, but there was something refreshingly straightforward about the whole setup. The staff actually seemed to care about getting you settled in properly, not just checking boxes on some corporate hospitality checklist.

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 3-star spot – clean, comfortable, and everything works like it should. I mean, the air conditioning was a godsend during those brutal Riyadh afternoons when stepping outside feels like opening an oven door. The beds are surprisingly decent (I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathrooms are modern enough that you’re not dealing with ancient plumbing or sketchy water pressure. What I really appreciated was the attention to small details – like having enough outlets near the bed for your devices and blackout curtains that actually block out the early morning sun. The WiFi was reliable too, which honestly can’t be said for every hotel in the city.

Location-wise, you’re not in the flashiest part of town, but that works in your favor if you want to experience the real rhythm of the city without paying premium prices. I found myself walking to some great local restaurants that I probably wouldn’t have discovered if I’d stayed in one of those big international chains in the business district. The area gets busy during evening hours – lots of families out and about, which gives you a genuine feel for daily life here. Parking was never an issue, which is more important than it sounds when you’re navigating Riyadh’s streets. The 7.6 rating makes perfect sense to me – it’s not trying to compete with luxury hotels, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. If you’re looking for a place that feels more like a comfortable base than a destination itself, and you want your money to go toward experiences rather than fancy lobby art, this spot hits the mark pretty well.

Apartments in Riyadh provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Saudi markets and experience daily life in historic Arabian neighborhoods.
