This hotel is masquerading behind what it probably used to be. Everything appears great but there are multiple elements that make up into not a very satisfying stay. The air conditioning in the room was very old and not reliable. The pillows were not for us and collapsed under your head. No other option was available. Breakfast was plentiful but not really at four star quality, for us. The pool loungers had seen better days many years ago. Positives were its excellent location to the metro which made getting around very easy and the decent shower and tea facilities in the room. They were some really lovely coffee shops to both the left and right of there hotel.

I was given a smoking room without any choice. It stank of cigarettes. I could barely sleep in such a room. i was told the hotel was fully booked, but the smoking room being the only choice was not something I was told in advance. I tried to pre-book a taxui for an important work meeting, the service was dire, noone confirmed out booking and we took an uber instead.

This used to be my go to hotel in Riyadh for its exceptional value for money. One of the rooms had annoying air conditioning sound, and they were housekeeping a room late night (noisy vacuuming). We booked two same rooms and there is inconsistency between both. One had more bathroom items than the other and a dead spider, and one had an inconvenient small closet while the other had a good sized closet. Location of hotel is very convenient and in close proximity to many key places but sleep could get disrupted from rude drivers showing off the sound of their exhaust.

First time at Joudyan.

Really impressive hotel for what may be a local brand. Buffet on the ground floor is good as well for 89 SAR for dinner and also plenty of options for break fast. Will repeat.

Excessive industrial fan noise directly outside the window, making it difficult to sleep.

A leaking bidet in the bathroom.

General lack of cleanliness in the room.

A very limited and underwhelming breakfast compared to what was advertised.

Good stay first half second half room availability

I had two stays the first was fantastic, the second stay was dissapointing as booked back for a final night and only had a smoking room availible. It stank as a non smoker it was really acrid. Very disappointing. I understand availability problems but there was no mention of smoking room on hotels.com

Issues with check in

Unfortunately I was told on 3 out of our 7 bookings that they didn’t have the booking.

Not really sure how their system works but it seemed a bit unorganised.

All bookings were made a while ago so it wasn’t because it was last minute.


I like the hotel in general, nice rooms, good gym and pool and also nice food.

But I have stayed there a couple of times now and every time there seems to be some issues finding the bookings.

I might start calling the hotel in advance to confirm that they got all bookings that were made.

The real gem of this place is the staff, a shout out to Mr Faisal and Ms Asmaa who dealt with my concerns and turned my stay to a really good experience.

The location is very convenient but this area gets really busy, so make sure you are ok with some unavoidable noise especially during rush hours.
