利雅得大廣場飯店-塔哈索西

Good evaroment

I booked 1 night before as I arrived the night before. I asked if I could not change rooms the next day when my roommate arrived so was give 2 singe beds. All good. Then after using the key card for 5 minutes, it went into darkness, each time crawling on the floor to find the door. This went on 4 times, I finally went back downstairs. Gave me another card. The moment I used the sink, it filled with dirty water and would not empty. Now I tried to have a shower, didn’t work. Rang downstairs and a repair man came later. Said it would get fixed at 9am tomorrow. I’m in nothing but a gown and after 24 hours of travelling I needed a shower now. So, they changed my room. Late at night I was running back and forth to a new room. New room, there was this loud noise like in a horror movie non-stop. It was the elevators going up and down. It was soooo loud in this room. Probably a room they never use but I finally had a shower. Next day phone didn’t work. Kettle didn’t work. We took it downstairs, handed it in and asked for another one. Then asked again and again 4 times. Asked for another pillow 5 times. Every time we came back to the room the key cards never worked. Was so sick of going up and down to the reception to try to get in. This hotel was a disaster and I paid $250 Australian for the extra night. Probably worth $60 at best. Intrepid should NOT use this hotel.

Stayed there for a few nights on a short notice business trip. Upon check in I was given a room that had a strong paint smell and when I asked to change, the front desk agent was not very accommodating! Rooms are outdated, horrible mattress, and I didn't bother to even check breakfast. I had a very interesting incident when I woke up at 2:15 am on a noise coming from the corridor and when I opened the door, I found housekeeping cleaning an adjacent room! At 2:15am! Of course I couldn't have a proper conversation with the attendant, no English and no Arabic, and not sure he understood what he was doing or what I was saying.. And if you have to stay, bring your own internet as it was so bad that I spent my stay connected to my mobile data on hotspot!

90 minutes wait at the check-in was the worst check-in experience ever. And the hotel was prepaid! Breakfast is below average, not even a 3* standard. Rooms are not well maintained, furniture is falling apart. Wi-fi in the room does not work most of the time. On the good side, hotel is located in a quiet area, bed was pretty comfty, and room was spacious. Parking is free of charge. Great arab grill joint around the corner.
