“Palatial Riyadh looks, erratic service”
Narcissus the Royal Hotel is a super luxurious, uniquely charming Riyadh address near the metro — spacious rooms, a rich varied breakfast, a traditional Saudi coffee ritual in the lobby, and for one Dubai-hardened guest the best staycation ever. But service consistency collapses for others: unanswered requests, a delayed luggage arrival, a breakfast desk that couldn't find a listed booking, a wrongful checkout charge admitted only later, cold unmotivated reception, and a heater advertised but absent.
