5/5
I had a bad moment yesterday when in the street I got my ancle hurt an have today a lot of difficulty to walk added that I am by myself in Riyadh. Mr Anand appeared like a miracle this morning and helped me with the many things I had to do an that suddenly I could no longer do them myself, he even helped me to do my bag and prepare a present I had to leave to a friend and looking up mfor a person who was waiting for me in the lobby . I don’t know what would I have done without his support . And everything done perfectly well and with good mood! So I have to say that the hotel is very nice , confortable and clean and add that the service is outstanding! I’ll talk with the organization that has invited me and ask them to do the reservation for my next trip in February 2024 at this Marriott diplomatic Quarter. Thank you!' Will be back on February. Congratulations!

The huge advantage of the hotel is its location. The Diplomatic Quarter is a great neighborhood with space to take a walk, go for a run or spend time in one of the multiple green parks. It beats most of the other areas in Riyadh in that dimension. The hotel itself is top level, with great food, nice gym, saunas opened till midnight and a relaxing patio. However, I feel that the level of service in the hotel could be improved. I had multiple occasions when I felt I wasn't served appropriately, e.g., the staff forgot to put a bath towel in my room, twice when I was calling to order room service nobody picked up the phone, when I asked that someone fixes my coffee machine they didn't send anyone and I had to remind about it. Overall, I would still prefer staying in Marriott DQ vs Ritz-Carlton on the other side of the road.
