I recently stayed at aloft and unfortunately, my experience was below expectations. The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, and the overall service fell short of what one would expect from a hotel, not to mention the struggle at parkings. From my perspective, improvements are needed in both areas to enhance the guest experience.

My favourite go to a hotel in Riyadh. It combines the perfect value for money compared to how modern and clean the hotel is. On average, hotels in Riyadh are old and expensive. However, Aloft is relatively new and offers a modern design for a reasonable price. The breakfast they offer is 5 stars, with many options and choices to pick and choose. Fruits, yogurts, cheeses, eggs, breads, and many other choices. The parking lots (in the basement) are designed weirdly. I feel they were not meant to be parking lots, but they ended up turning them into parking lots. The parking sizes and the turns within the parking lots are nonsense.
