Read moreThe hotel is wonderful and the room's view is overlooking Kuwait City. The lounge is quiet but limited in choices only drinks are available. The hotel's in room dining is perfect the selection of dishes and the quality of food is the highlight of our stay. The reception desk was very professional especially Faroug (chief concierge) and Samer (reception manager). However, the downside of our stay was housekeeping and the way our problem was dealt with. We ordered room service more than 12 plates were placed in the room's table. We finished eating and decided to leave the room. Before leaving, we called housekeeping at around 7 pm to arrange the room and to pass a message to dining to remove the plates. We came back to our room at around 1 am. To our surprise nothing was removed or arranged !!! We talked to the person in charge and he kindly stated you must've placed a do not disturb sign (which was not anywhere near the door) on the door and tried to further explain that they cannot remove anything if guests are not in the room !!! So if you leave the room, no one can clean it !! We had to stay in the lobby till 1:38 am because of the strong food odor till they graciously cleaned the room. Even last last night we encountered a problem with housekeeping but didn't want to overreact as they cleaned the room without replacing any used item so we had to call for towels and the super tiny...
Read moreA great Luxury Collection property! First of all, it appears that all rates include a shared airport transfer and breakfast. I contacted the hotel prior to my stay to arrange a pickup, and had somebody waiting for me outside of baggage claim with my name on a piece of paper. The ride from the airport in the hotel sedan was about 20 minutes. Upon check-in, I was greeted with a cold towel and drink. I was also upgraded to a junior suite as a Platinum.
The junior suite is actually more of a one bedroom suite. It has Hermes toiletries, an impressive fruit basket, dish of nuts and sweets, and also has a printer/fax/scanner, which came in handy.
The gym is large and well-equipped. Towels and bottled water is available. The breakfast buffet is solid. Has a good variety of Western and Middle Eastern dishes. Service was decent, although nobody bothered refilling my tea.
The concierge arranged to have a driver show me around town. I was quoted 5KD/hour. However, upon our return, I was quoted an extra 10KD due to going outside the city center. So you may want to clarify costs before you book.
As a plat, late check out was extended to 6pm. Anything later than that, you’ll need to pay for an extra night. All in all, this is an excellent property, and I’ll be staying here for sure...
