From the time you arrive at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Riyadh, you will experience genuine hospitality which, happily will be a recurring theme during the stay. At Reception, Shahzan was respectful and courteous, effortlessly answering a multitude of questions in a multitude of languages, and all with a smile that resonates with the guests. The room was comfortable, and... More

Having stayed in a few hotels in Riyadh in the price category, the Radisson Blu has good size rooms, with good facilities, including wifi. The breakfast was equivalent to a std good hotel, and the room service menu looks varied and good. Although I did not try it.

My pre-booked hotel airport pick up at 5am didnt arrive, the hotel didn't deal with this very well and I ended up getting a taxi myself. If you're in this situation there is a firm in Riyadh called 'The London Taxi Company' right outside who offer an excellent fixed price service, ignore the touts in the arrivals hall. I later...

This Radisson is somewhat different from the other Radisson I have stayed at, it is not up to the standard they usually are. Five star it says, to me a low four would be more adequate. You don't feel very welcomed, it needs refurbishment and it lacks a cozy comfortable lounge. I had a huge room but the feeling was... More

I was really impressed with their spacious rooms with beautiful designs. Spacious corridors and classy restaurants. Perfect italian restaurant with great food and ambiance. Loved their terrace adjacent to this restaurant. Good variety of breakfast items too. Business or leisure they spacious gym and neat pool. A must stay while in Riyadh. Free wifi with good speed.

The rooms are remarkably large and clean. The decoration is nice and wi good taste. The Italian restaurant is not very good, the pizza was soggy and the risotto was done with normal rice. The gym is reserved for men and they have a disappointed facility for women, in a room without windows, with a bike, treadmill and some weights.... More

I requested limo service from the hotel to be picked up at the airport. I was greeted by a friendly driver and a very nice and clean Mercedes. Upon arrival to the hotel, the staff was very friendly and covered all of my needs. The room was exceptionally large, clean and very comfortable. The hotel had a wonderful Japanese restaurant....

I was mostly dissapointed by the Aircon, it was very harsh with no respite from it drying me out. I soaked towels and left them in the room over night, although this helped, it was only for several hours(having the AC off, meant the heat was 26deg in 4hrs) Mostly I got four hours sleep each night. I spent the... More
