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.
