No frills, basically a bed and a shower.
This is a no frills hotel. I am not sure if it was a language issue or a cultural issue, but none of my requests were met. I asked for a wake up call. It never came. I asked for a taxi to be called, I ended up having to catch one on my own on the street. The hotel is a few blocks from an ATM and super market. Places to eat are a bit further away. Once I was shown how the television worked, it operated fine.

Hotel In residential Area
The Stay was terrible at this place. First it was written as Free Airport Shuttle. No shuttle provided. The rooms are very small and the Washroom is so small that a large person cannot fit.Two out of three days the Internet was not working. Two out of three days the Television was not working. The tap in the washroom was continuously leaking and they do not repair. Third Day the Air conditioning stopped working. After complaining they checked and changed the room. There there was no electricity for most part of the night. The Power DB for three rooms was in another room where a couple was staying. Later in the morning, almost for four hours, no body attended even to the calls that there was no power. Got checked out and cannot give me a Final Bill. They want to deduct the Expedia Commission and give me the final bill which I did not accept. How can I take a bill for less than what I paid? And no free shuttle to Airport also. They want to charge for that. There is no meaning in mentioning Free Airport Shuttle if it was not there. Totally disgusted with both Expedia and also the Hotel Stay.

Poor service and cleaniness
TV not working. It took 5 days to fix. When I arrive, still the soap used by previous passengers was there, with hair!
Internet not working. Four days latter, they gave me a GSM modem, but I had to pay for it!
In summary... bad experience!

Worst Experiance
On my arrival, there was no AC in the room, no toilet paper, no towels. The bathroom was still dirty from the previous person that stayed there with hair all over the floor. the bathroom basin was leaking, the stinja pipe was leaking and when you take a shower, the water rises up till it runs out of the shower and entire floor is wet. I slipt in the bathroom due to this. the room was very dirty and the exposed electrical cables was a hazard. the internet was more off than what it was on.
When they clean the room, i dont get new toilet paper and they only give 1 towel. After they cleaned the room, you cant see much difference.
Overall..... i would not recommend this place to anyone ever. WORST hotel experiance ever.

Stay somewhere else
The hotel refused to provide airport transfer in both cases I requested it, and the gym is under "reconstruction" (i.e. not available). Rooms are dirty and poorly maintained. Safety was a concern, as well: the deadbolt lock didn't work and I even came back to the room once to find my door open, as (presumably) the cleaning staff did not close it properly. Not a great location, but it could be worse.

For your own sake - find another hotel
I regret to say that this hotel is far below acceptable standard. Selection and presentation of the breakfast was very bad. Room and bathroom was run down and straight forward dirty. Common areas appeared dirty and smelly. Guys in the reception were ok, - but nothing more. I have over the years stayed in several hotels in Kuwait city and one should not always expect to much, - but this hotel is by far the worst.

Value for money
This is not a fancy hotel and is starting to show some age. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and helpful. The free Airport pick-up and drop-off, breakfast buffet and internet connection in the room are big positives that makes the hotel "value for money." The location is quite close to the business district. I think it is a good choice for a short business trip to Kuwait.

تجربة سيئة جداً لن تتكرر
التعامل سيء
والصور والمواصفات غير صحيحة وغير مطابقة
الموظفون بدل من إمتصاص غضب العميل من سوء الخدمة يضيفون لها سوء التعامل
الجاكوزي لايعمل في كل الفندق بحجة الإزعاج والشكاوى!!!!!!
وهذا العذرة أول مرة نسمع به في أي فندق بالعالم
ليس كل الصور واقعية وبناء على كلام الموظف لابد من ذكر أن المرفق يعمل
من يعوض ماتم دفعه والصدمة الحاصلة!!!!!!
الأثاث والدورات (كرمتم) تحتاج لصيانة
الإفطار منوع نوعاً هذا الشيء الوحيد المقبول
