“Sahafa business ease, rate debate”
Novotel Riyadh Sahafa is a clean, tidy, well-run Riyadh business pick — excellent location, friendly respectful staff (Nawaf Al-Budairi named), connecting rooms for families, a nicely organised national-day celebration, and a decent breakfast that may need adjusting for long stays. Repeat intent is strong. Two reservations: one guest asks management to review pricing as the rate runs high for the product — the hotel's reply appears in the list — and long-stay breakfasts may strain some palates.
