I can easily say that staying at Novotel Sahafa was one of the nicest stays in Riyadh. I often travel to Riyadh for work and meetings, and although choices of hotels are vast, finding a place reasonably priced and offers comfort and a sense of high luxury is hard to find, and Novotel nailed it. In fact, it's considered expensive for a 4-star hotel, but it is an issue in Riyadh, especially during high seasons. I LOVED the drip coffee they offered complimentary at rooms, that was the cream on top of the cake, usually hotels either offer Nespresso machines or instant coffee, but Novotel offered this high quality, delicious drip coffee, which made waking up in the morning feels homey and nice. Hope the hotel will keep this exceptional level.

The breakfast could be better. During my stay, the place got overcrowded, and the area was very small for such a big hotel. The choices were sufficient; it's just the layout of the buffet.

The hotel is new and everything worked well. The check-in staff were courteous (reception looked too small for such a big hotel). Breakfast excellent. It was quite close to Boulevard City where I wanted to go. The staff offered to give me late check out too... on the whole nice stay. Their water bottle is trendy and sustainabile friendly. Lights and fixtures are easy to manage. Interesting coffee packets (not sure if it works) and all paper and wood toiletries... don't know if cutting wood to replace plastic is good idea...

Nothing actually... I didn't use gym and pool so I can't tell. Didn't find any restaurants or shops in the vicinity...

I would like to share my experience at the hotel which I highly recommend to all my friends and family. My best experience was at first once I checked in where I met three wonderful professional ladies [ Ann,Amera and Aeshea] who really encouraged me to come back again inshallah in the future Also my appreciation goes to John lary at the hotel coffee shop who show us the hospitality of the hotel. I really hope to come again.

Nothing

The staff were very kind and courteous, the breakfast was good, the room was spacious and comfortable and provided all the required amenities. The location of the hotel helped me avoid downtown traffic.

The selection of cheese and coffee at the breakfast could be improved. Occasionally the room service would come to clean up the room at around 16:30pm despite the fact that I had vacated the room at 08:00am to attend my business the whole day.

Aisha and Hamad Almaliki were outstanding and helpful but not only that the rest of staff were great two. There was an Indian serving on the terrace exceptional but Genetalkt speaking all outstanding .

The terrace closing at 12it should be around 2:00

I stayed for two weeks, and the staff is amazing, especially at reception. Ayesha and her colleagues were great help. Housekeeping manager Rikesh was excellent and always available in case you need anything.

I liked the location and bit overpriced

Clean property Very comfy Spacious Perfect location Honest staff.. left my jewelry in the safe and arrived in Bah but they were honest and reliable enough to keep them for me until collected Manager of reception was super sweet .. And Mesfer from the reception was so supportive

None

Amazing breakfast, professional staff, especially Ms Aisha who did a step ahead our expectations. A big thank to the GM, Hessa Almazroa for her kind welcoming words.

For the rooms, acoustic has to be better as we can hear construction noise around...but still not that bathering...

The entire experience and stay were amazing- location and access

Every detail, from reception to rooms - decor - cleanliness- tidiness- service - staff- food - overall the stay and experience were exceptional- Rashad was amazing at the reception- the servers and hostess in the restaurant was outstanding-

The hotel is new; breakfast buffet was wonderful. The staff was highly attentive.

The women exercise space was dismal and uninviting. Very different than the men gym. We were unsure about the pool swimming for co-ed or not and with all the construction it was too noisy to relax out there.
