Golden Tulip Hotels in Riyadh

Best 5-star hotel in Riyadh. The amazing team and business+leisure location - all time favourite in Riyadh. The view from the rooms are breathtaking and the food is truly sumptuous. You can be sure to see some genuine smile at people at the this place who truly care for you to be best!

I came to Riyadh for a few days only out of curiosity as flights from Budapest were so cheap I thought 'why not?. Not really knowing what to expect. I wanted to be in the downtown Olaya area but hotels there were in the £200 - £300 +++ range. Other than the IBIS which came in at £80 a night. The IBIS room was better than standard IBIS fare I have seen in the UK and Europe - ie larger, and better equipped with safe and tea & coffee making facilities. But what makes this hotel really stand out was the helpfulness and welcome of front of house staff. Nothing was too much trouble - and they were patient and courteous dealing with my various queries and requests, writing out place names in Arabic, explaining how to get to places, nearest places to buy water and snacks etc. The hotel's guests were overwhelmingly people on business rather than tourists. However, I can unreservedly recommend this hotel to visitors to Saudi Arabia travelling for tourism. I say this as a solo female traveller. Top tips: - there is an Asian run convenience store round the corner five minutes walk away that does not involve crossing roads!! - have tbe hotel breakfast as there's not much around by way of cafes etc (unless you go to a mall) - download the Kareem app (= Saudi Uber) for safe, convenient and cheap taxis - if you have a choice, avoid Room 122 as it was on the first floor and overlooked two air conditioning units and tbe wall 😉 - not that matters in the scheme of things. However, a room on a high floor with views of Kingdom Tower must be pretty awesome

Riyadh hotels are generally not cost-effective, this is already very good, room facilities are general, bathroom is small, convenient transportation, and you can see the Kingdom Tower when you go out.

This is an absolute ran down place. I wonder why Novotel are not ashamed to manage such a property. It should be either taken from the market or revamped but surely not offered for hotel guests. Dirty bathrooms, stained carpet and damaged furniture. No hangers for clothes in the wardrobes. No whatsoever service, empty minibar, no facilities to sit and enjoy time. I will never ever return to this place and I cannot suggest booking a room there. The staff is also very lazy and impolite.

Among the hotels I have stayed in during this trip to Saudi Arabia, this one is generally cost-effective. The attitude of the hotel service staff is quite good. I feel that Saudi Arabia has hired many foreigners to serve them. In the hotel, I saw employees wiping the railings and floors bit by bit with rags.

The service of the four seasons is as always, the room has been renovated, it is highly recommended. The location is also very good. It is located in the city center and is within walking distance from Dongfanghong Chinese Restaurant. There are no disadvantages except that it is a bit expensive.

Big size room with comfy bed , number of choice for breakfast in arabic style, front desk staff is very polite and helpful , neat and clean property ,there is no any convenient store surrounding hotel that is drawback

The hotel is very friendly from the front desk to the room attendants. There was a Pakistani guy in the restaurant. I can’t remember his name, but he greeted us warmly every time.

My son and I attended the WWE Crown Jewel. The hotel was easy to get to from the airport and is in an ideal location to all major tourist attractions on the Boulevard such as Boulevard City, Park Mall, museums and the Arena Threatre to name a few. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone including families or groups traveling to Riyadh for a fun weekend or short break. The staff were amazing so friendly and helpful at all times. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Overall experience for us was 10 out of 10. Definately worth a visit if going to Riyadh.
