Novotel Suites Riyadh Centre Overview

You know what surprised me about Novotel Suites Riyadh Centre? It actually feels like staying in a well-designed apartment rather than a typical hotel room. I mean, when you first walk into one of their suites, there’s this immediate sense of space that you don’t usually get with most places in Riyadh – especially at this price point. The living area flows naturally into a separate bedroom, and honestly, after spending long days exploring the city or stuck in meetings, having that extra room to spread out makes a huge difference.

The location is pretty solid too, though you’ll want to factor in some traffic time if you’re heading to the old souks during rush hour (which, let’s be real, seems to be most of the day in this city). But here’s the thing – you’re close enough to King Fahd Road that getting around isn’t a nightmare, and there are actually some decent local restaurants within walking distance if you know where to look. The hotel restaurant is fine, but I’d honestly recommend venturing out at least once to try some of the smaller places nearby. The staff at the front desk can point you toward a few gems that don’t show up in guidebooks.

What I really appreciated was how quiet the rooms stay despite being in a busy part of town. The windows do a good job blocking out the constant hum of traffic, which – trust me – is not something you can take for granted around here. The beds are comfortable enough, though the pillows lean a bit too soft for my taste (you can always ask for firmer ones). Check-in was smooth when I stayed, no lengthy waits or complicated procedures. The Wi-Fi actually works well throughout the building, which seems obvious but you’d be surprised how many places still struggle with that basic necessity. Parking is straightforward too – there’s a garage attached, so you don’t have to worry about circling blocks looking for a spot or dealing with street parking in the heat.

The rating of 7.8 feels about right to me. It’s not going to blow you away with luxury touches, but it delivers on the practical stuff that matters when you’re traveling. The housekeeping is thorough, the air conditioning keeps things comfortable (crucial during summer months when stepping outside feels like opening an oven), and the overall maintenance feels current. If you’re looking for a place where you can actually relax and have some space to work or unwind, rather than just crash for the night, this works well. It’s particularly good for longer stays since you’ve got that suite setup with a kitchenette – nothing fancy, but enough to handle basic meal prep or keep drinks cold.
