Beware of being charged twice for the same room.

Paid via Hotels.com/Expedia and then charged again on check-in having been told Expedia didn’t go through. Checked my statement and have indeed been charged twice. Today charged a third time for one night. Hotels.com promised a refund in 72 hours and still not forthcoming

Nice and convenient location

It was overall a good experience staying in Centro, Olaya. It is located at a convenient location from where metro is easily accessible, decent restaurants are located nearby and there is a shopping mall in close vicinity. I would specially like to mention about Hajar, who is very courteous and customer oriented

Nice place to stay. Swimming pool and the rest area on the 8th floor are good, and you can enjoy great views from there. Staff is very friendly. Housekeeping is very professional and attentive. Saudi coffee and flavored ice water at the reception every day. Walking distance to western fast food like KFC, local caffes, grocery stores and a shopping mall. Worked well for me.
