شقق العارض 1 Overview
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to شقق العارض 1, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages. This apartment hotel sits quietly in Al Arid neighborhood, and there’s something refreshingly straightforward about it. The building itself is clean and well-maintained, with that practical Saudi architecture that prioritizes comfort over flash. What immediately caught my attention was how easy it was to find parking — they’ve got free private spots, which honestly is a godsend in Riyadh.
The Neighborhood Feel
Al Arid is one of those residential areas that gives you a real taste of how locals actually live. You’re not stuck in some touristy bubble here — instead, you’ll find yourself walking past family homes and small shops that have been serving the community for years. The location on Mohammed bin Khalid Street puts you close enough to central Riyadh that you can reach the main attractions without too much hassle, but far enough out that you escape the constant buzz of the city center. I mean, couples seem to really get this balance — they’ve rated the location over 9 out of 10, and I can see why.
Living Space Reality
The room setup here is actually more like having your own little apartment, which makes a huge difference if you’re staying for more than just a night or two. Each unit comes with a proper kitchenette — not just a mini-fridge and microwave, but actual cooking space where you can prepare real meals. The furnishings are simple but functional, and everything feels clean and well-cared-for. What I appreciated most was the attention to practical details: good water pressure in the shower, reliable air conditioning (crucial in Saudi summers), and enough storage space that you can actually unpack your suitcase.
Daily Conveniences
Here’s where شقق العارض 1 really shows its value — it’s the little things that add up. Having that kitchenette means you can grab groceries from the local markets and save money on meals, plus there’s something nice about making your morning coffee exactly how you like it. The free parking situation is actually a bigger deal than you might think — in many parts of Riyadh, you’ll end up circling blocks looking for a spot or paying premium rates. The staff keeps things running smoothly without being overly formal, and honestly, the 9.4 guest rating starts to make perfect sense once you’ve been there a few days.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel like a temporary home rather than just another hotel room. The combination of practical amenities, solid location, and reasonable pricing creates this sweet spot that’s hard to find elsewhere. You’re getting the independence of an apartment with the reliability of a hotel, all in a neighborhood that feels authentically Saudi. Recent guests have consistently rated the location highly, and after spending time there, I get it — sometimes the best travel experiences happen when you can settle into a place and live like a local, even if it’s just for a few days.
