I absolutely loved this hotel!!! One of my favorites of all time. The location is SUPERB - we wanted posh, and we got posh! Street-noise was low despite being a fairly busy street and it was extremely easy to get around from the hotel. The staff were all lovely and the rooms were beautiful and luxurious. We were warmly welcomed back to the hotel every time with the door held open and the staff was warm, chatting with us about things they recommend checking out. The bed/pillows was one of my favorite aspects of the hotel - SO comfy and a delight to fall into after a long day of exploring. I also appreciated the little things they provided such as comfy robes, slippers, sturdy umbrellas, and some complementary mini-bar treats. We initially had an issue with the window not closing fully but the staff came INSTANTLY and fixed it right up. They were overall SO quick with any request we had (such as extra coffee pods, extra silverware) and the room was lovingly cleaned and linens replaced every day. Some things to note but not negatives: the infrastructure is a bit older than some modern hotels, but I found it very charming overall (i.e. the heat/AC controls were a little tricky, the lights were on a funny timer, the room was small-ish, and we could hear some upstairs noise). Nothing deal-breaking at all, just some quirks :) I found this hotel to be a very fair price for what it offers, it lives up to the expectations of a 5-star hotel, and I would absolutely stay here again given the chance. Missing it already!

We had a pleasant experience at the Athenaeum. We stayed there for 8 days we got an upgrade upon our arrival, and the location was great everything is a walking distance from you. Also my baby (9 months) got sick from the second day and the team tried their best to make him feel better, they were checking on him every day and the bedsheets where changed for us upon every request when my baby got sick on them some times twice a day. Also the team gave my baby toys to cheer him up. Very thankful to Dayana, the door men (all of them) and the concierge. Definitely not our last stay.

I stayed at The Athenaeum, next to Coya and Sheraton. The hotel itself was amazing —super clean, elegant, and in a great location. But be extremely careful with your deposit! They took a 7,000 SAR deposit, refunded it when I got back to Riyadh, then a few hours later charged me 4,500 SAR again. When I contacted them, they said it was a “tip for the staff” since I didn’t give any during my stay — which is completely wrong and unacceptable Even after I explained that tips should be my choice, not something they take without permission, their tone was a bit offensive and dismissive, as if it wasn’t a big deal or not my right to complain I eventually got my money back, but the experience was really disappointing. The hotel is great, but this behavior is unacceptable — always check your bank statements after your stay

Amazing and friendly welcome, including a huge welcome to our dog by everyone. Dog package is room is excellent: bowl, treats & gifts. All the staff were brilliant. However the only negative (this is why I have given 2 stars for service and not 5 stars) is that even before we arrived they put 5% service charge on for the staff!!! I asked them to remove it as we hadn’t even arrived and it should be completely up to us and based on the actual service. They said it would be removed. On checkout and as the service was fantastic we offered an additional 10% on everything. Unfortunately they still added the 5% at the end on the bill and I had to chase to get it back.
