Last week I visited Kuwait to see old friends and return to a place I spent a portion of my life working. Instead of opting for Kuwait City and the mundane skyscraper landscape, I chose Boudl Fahaheel farther south and closer to the ocean.||I could not have been more delighted with my selection. The "studio" was in fact a lovely, well decorated designer suite complete with small kitchen, comfy bed, excellent noise and light filtering, excellent bathroom and wonderful all the way around.||My check in was expedient and friendly, the services provided by staff were beyond reproach in all facets.||Breakfast was free and served buffet style in the lobby, and while not as large as many I have experienced in luxury hotels worldwide, it was ample enough to sustain and please the palate.||The breakfast area, however, could use more seating opportunities at proper dining tables rather than so many couches and low tables, which, while popular in the Arab world, can be disconcerting for Western tourists.||I asked the desk for a tourist map, which was sadly not on hand, but the staff and General Manager immediately sprang into action and supplied me with several print outs from the internet which did the job.||The second day, I returned to my suite to find the added surprise of a fruit plate sent up by the friendly General Manager who is Tunesian and an excellent director in this hotel which truly deserves more visits from Western clientele as it exceed most expectations not only in what it offers, but also in terms of value for money.||The surrounding neighborhood is decidedly working class, but a block away is one of Kuwait's hidden gems, the fabulous Al Kout shopping mall complete with dancing fountains, a yacht basin, a multiplex cinema and more. From there, the coastal highway leads North past wonderful beaches and along the beautiful sea to Kuwait City. ||All in all, very enjoyable and definitely where I will stay again on my next...
Read moreDear Boudl Hotel Team, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to bring to your attention a slight issue we encountered upon our arrival at Boudl Hotel, which I believe is important for you to be aware of. When we arrived, we noticed that the room we had reserved did not quite match the pictures we had seen on the booking website. However, I must commend the exceptional service provided by Ahmed, the manager on duty. Ahmed's kindness and professionalism in swiftly addressing this matter made a significant difference in our overall experience. Ahmed went above and beyond to ensure that we were not only comfortable but also entirely satisfied with our accommodation. His prompt action and dedication to guest satisfaction truly left a positive impression. I would also like to acknowledge the commendable cleanliness of the hotel and the room, as well as the friendliness and helpfulness of the reception staff. These aspects contributed to a pleasant stay despite the initial discrepancy. Ahmed's handling of the situation reflects the high standards of service that Boudl Hotel is known for, and I believe it is important to express our gratitude for his exceptional customer care. Once again, thank you, Ahmed, and the entire Boudl Hotel team, for making our stay a memorable...
Read moreI went directly from the airport with luggage which was kept in my car for one night 12th June 2023 and did the booking from Agoda Studio apartment. The staff at the Front office and the bell boys especially there was one guy with a spectacles in front office starting name with “M” was very helpful . I was asked a 20kd deposit on check in and was returned while checked out . The kids were alone in the room at night but was very safe in all ways . The room in the rate i paid was ok a big room with enough accessories and furniture and 2 big TV in bedroom and living room . Would prefer if u can give add English Channel cartoon also. Area of little attention is to Maximize the usage of the limited car parking by providing a car behind a car parking in a slot and someone to see to it it’s parked in a proper way… Breakfast was buffet could give a little more option like to prepare a omelette or a sunnyside up along with this...
