By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Al Muhaidb Residence Al JAWAZAT 1 - Economic is worth booking if you want a well-rated, central Riyadh base for a fraction of the city's typical price. Skip it if breakfast matters to you, because that is where guests are least happy.

This is a strong fit for budget-conscious travellers, business visitors and families who want a reliable room in a central spot. Guests describe the staff as friendly, cooperative and professional, and they like being near a metro station and shopping centres. Family rooms and free parking are listed, as is a 24-hour front desk.
Skip it if you want a good hotel breakfast. Guests say the options are limited, simple and of poor quality. You will also find no pool, gym or restaurant in the listed facilities, so if those matter, look at our Luxury pick.
Location and getting around
The address is King Fahd Road, King Faisal st. The location score is 9.3 out of 10, and guests point to a nearby metro station and shopping centres.
The National Museum of Saudi Arabia is about 1.8 km away, roughly 23 minutes on foot. Al Faisaliah Tower and Al Masmak Palace are each about 3.6 km away, around 45 minutes on foot. Those two are far, so use the metro, a taxi or a car. All walking times are straight-line estimates, and real routes may be longer.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 901 guest reviews, a joint sixth place among 19 eligible properties in our sample. That is a high score for a budget choice, built on a large number of reviews.
Praise focuses on the staff and the location. The team is called friendly, cooperative and professional. The setting is described as central, close to the metro and shopping centres.
The clear complaint is breakfast: limited variety, simple options and poor quality. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 19 eligible hotels in Riyadh. Al Muhaidb was selected as our Budget choice because its €64.52 rate was the lowest eligible reference price after reserving the upscale slot. Its 9.0 score from 901 reviews and its central location make it more than just the cheapest option.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included and consider eating out instead, given the reviews. Confirm the cancellation terms, as they have not been assessed. If you are driving, check that parking is available for your dates. Use the exact address to plan metro or taxi trips to the sights that are too far to walk.
