Ewaa Express Hotel Olaya

Great value for the price! The hotel provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay at a very reasonable rate. The room was clean, the staff was friendly.For what I paid, I couldn’t ask for more. Definitely recommended

I had a pleasant stay at Ewaa Express Olaya Hotel. The location is excellent, with easy access to key areas in Riyadh. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was smooth from check-in to check-out. A special thanks to Mr. Mohamed, the hotel manager, for his cooperation and warm hospitality. His support made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again in the future.

Avoid EWAA AL OLAYA – Terrible Experience! I made the mistake of staying here for six days, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Here’s why: • WiFi is awful – There are multiple connections, but they constantly drop. Even when it says connected, it doesn’t work. • “Free” cycle bikes are unsafe – They’re completely unmaintained and a serious hazard. • Staff are unhelpful – Only one person speaks English. Most staff either ignore you or just look away, including the receptionist, who was incredibly rude. • Swimming pool is a joke – It’s tiny (3m x 3m), more like a freezing cold hot tub than an actual pool. • Gym is useless – No dumbbells, no weights, no machines except a basic chest press. Just an old treadmill and a bike. • No towels by the pool – Basic amenities are lacking. • Room barely cleaned – Only cleaned once, and that was after we specifically asked. • Breakfast is unreliable – They bring it whenever they feel like it—8 AM, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM—so we gave up and bought our own food from the supermarket. • Unbelievable noise at night – Workmen were literally knocking through walls just a few meters from my room. It was insanely loud. I respect that it was during Ramadan, but the level of service here is unacceptable. With the World Cup coming in 2034, I really hope things improve—but for now, do not stay here!
