My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were big and nice with a clean pool view, but some areas had mess and dust. The service was very friendly and cooperative, although there were concerns about understanding preferences. The location offered a pleasant quietness but lacked nearby services. Dining was average, not meeting the expectations of a 5-star hotel. Overall, a comfortable stay with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but they were not as clean as I would have liked, with many dirty spots in the bathroom and on the room floor. The service was a mix of very accommodating and friendly staff, but also encountered some rude and extremely unprofessional behavior which was unexpected from a 5-star hotel. The location was quite good overall, with some areas needing improvement for better services. The dining experience had its flaws with some inconsistencies, but the fresh, made-from-scratch pizza at the 'Desert Restaurant' was a highlight. The facilities, while generally good, had some issues worth noting. The price and value for money offered a fair deal, with some room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a very big bathroom and balcony, featuring a beautiful small fruit plate on the table. However, the service lacked basic knowledge and attention to guests' needs. The location, though beautifully crafted especially around the pool area, is far from entertainment options. The dining experience was disappointing, but the facilities were well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. The rooms weren't soundproofed, lacked any inviting atmosphere, and felt extremely bare. Booking through the website was a hassle. On the positive side, the dining options were diverse. However, the dining experience didn't meet the standards expected from a 5-star hotel. The location, though beautiful with a Saudi Arabian-like view, was far from downtown and lacked essential services. The service was rude and unprofessional, making the stay very unpleasant.

The hotel had a great location with good pools that I really enjoyed. The rooms were warm without a water heater, making it uncomfortable to adjust the temperature, but the service was spectacular. The hotel's dining was good for a vacation stay, and the facilities were top-notch. However, the location seemed too far from entertainment and supplies, and the management's rigid adherence to policies and procedures affected the overall experience negatively.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. Despite the unclean rooms with many dirty spots, the overall experience was saved by the quiet and cleanliness I found. The temperature control was a bit problematic, and the check-in process was frustratingly slow due to unprofessional service. However, the peaceful location away from the bustling city was a refreshing escape, leaving me torn between the beautifully crafted surroundings and the inaccurate daily rate discount. The dining experience had its flaws with alarming fire alarms causing stress, yet the variety and view made up for it.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was nice when I arrived, it was disappointing to find it with no make-up, not clean at all, and dirty towels and floor. Despite contacting the reception several times to resolve these issues and extend my stay, the service was not professional as they left us waiting for check-in for over 4 hours. On the bright side, the location is amazing, only about half an hour from the center of Riyadh, but the lack of clear signage and direction made it a bit scary to navigate. The dinner food variety was not attractive, but the view to the garden was nice.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although initially unclean and filled with hair, were eventually upgraded to a slightly better suite which was still quite basic. However, the available extra discount made the accommodations more appealing. The service left something to be desired, with staff not quite meeting expectations and giving unsatisfactory reasons for certain closures. On the bright side, Mish'al Al Ghannam at the reception stood out for being welcoming and helpful. The location was a mixed bag, offering an amazing view but being a bit far from the city center and lacking nearby amenities. Despite these shortcomings, the facilities were decent overall.
