Golden Ship Hotel

“Clean, friendly and convenient”

Rooms are clean with sufficient space, even its big… Foods are sufficient. Price/performance is satisfaying. Its next to Hilton and Granada mall, so no need to pay double to Hilton, If you come here for couple of days business trip. Also staff is quite friendly..

“Amazing staff”

Very helpful event staff Fazil benjie ervin and mavic who helps all through out the event. Also, I will never forget the two ladies Jenelyn and Karissa who’s in the lobby smiling and assisting all of the guest especially when i entered in the lobby its so great to see them in the lobby.

I stayed in this hotel for 1 nights and given the cost compared to other hotels was overall satisfied. I was staying in Riyadh for a single night for work and found hotel costs to be extortionate at the standard chains I would have used for a work trip (Marriott, Hilton etc were charging in the upwards of SAR 1500 for a single night) so looked at other options and came across the Golden Ship. The exterior nautical design of the hotel caught my eye and the cost of around SAR 600 for a night in a suite with breakfast seemed like a worthwhile gamble. The suite itself is more like a serviced apartment with a twin room, double bedroom with en-suite, separate toilet, kitchen, dining room and lounge area. Not what I had expected at all and larger than I needed. The room(s) were a little dark (I was staying on the first floor which doesn't benefit from large windows) however everything was clean and had all amenities you would expect with the addition of microwave, hotplate and coffee machine in the kitchen area. Whilst the styling is a little different, I had no complaints about the room(s) which had powerful air conditioning should it be necessary throughout. Overall, the staff were friendly throughout my stay and bar some minor communication issues were generally good. My stay included breakfast which was the most disappointing part of my stay. Whilst a variety of fruit, pastries and Arabic dishes were available, nothing particularly stood out and were not of the highest quality or freshness (some pastries seemed a little stale). The hotel is located within walking distance of a large mall which has a large variety of shops and some places to eat both in and around the mall. As it was only a very brief stay I cannot comment further on the location. I didn't use any of the spa, gym or swimming pool facilities however from what I saw the pool is of limited size. Overall, the hotel was good. I am not sure I would rush back but, if options are limited and when price is taken into account it is worth considering.
