voco Riyadh by IHG
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.
voco Riyadh by IHG is worth booking if you want the best-rated hotel in our Riyadh sample, with 5 stars, a spa, a pool and staff guests consistently praise. It is a poor match for walkers and for anyone counting costs, since the main sights need a car or taxi and guests call rooms, dining and laundry expensive.

Business travellers and couples who want a smooth, comfortable stay will get the most from it. Guests highlight a warm welcome and an efficient check-in, and the property lists a gym, a spa, a pool, family rooms and free parking.
Skip it if you plan to explore on foot or keep spending down. The nearest sights in our data are all more than 30 minutes away on foot, and guests say the hotel charges a lot for rooms, meals and laundry.
Location and getting around
The address is King Fahad Road, and the location score is 9.4.
The National Museum of Saudi Arabia is about 2.6 km away, roughly 33 minutes on foot. Al Faisaliah Tower is about 2.9 km, around 36 minutes. Al Masmak Palace is about 4.3 km, around 54 minutes. All three are far, so plan on a taxi or other transport.
These are straight-line estimates that have not been checked on the ground, so real walking routes would be longer. Free parking is listed if you have a car.
What guests say
The score is 9.4 out of 10 from 1,292 reviews, a strong result on a large sample.
Staff get most of the praise. Guests describe a professional, friendly and helpful team, and reception comes up separately for a smooth, efficient check-in.
The complaints are about cost. Guests mention high prices for the room itself, for dining and for laundry. If you plan to eat in or send clothes out, check the prices in advance.
Price and how it compares
The reference price was €359.69 per night, about €719.38 for 2 nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €210.12. Our Budget pick, Al Muhaidb Residence Al JAWAZAT 1 - Economic, cost €64.52 with a 9.0 score and 4 stars. Our Best Value pick, فندق روزز إس, cost €65.70 with a 9.0 score and 1 star.
Both alternatives scored 9.0 for under a fifth of the price. The extra €290 or so per night buys 5 stars, a spa and pool, and a slightly higher score of 9.4.
