Oasis Hotel

1. Персонал отеля был очень дружелюбным, профессиональным, добрым и готовым помочь с любым вопросом. Они даже помогли с багажом в машину, предоставив дополнительное время для выезда. Попросил дополнительную подушку и чтобы шторы были правильно закрыты; горничные позаботились об этом. Я благодарен. 2. Расположение не такое плохое, как может показаться из-за строительства. Легко дойти до большого супермаркета, рынка Мубаракия, Большой мечети и даже торгового центра Al Asima. 3. Кровать была удобной. 4. Они предоставляют большие бутылки воды в качестве комплимента, что очень приятно. С небольшой заботой этот отель мог бы стать намного лучше.

Don’t be put off by the older reviews – the hotel was completely renovated in 2021 and the rooms are quite nice now. While the hotel might not quite be an oasis, as the name suggests, it is a solid mid-range alternative in the very heart of Kuwait City, ideal for sightseeing and tourism. The souk, with numerous exchange offices, is just opposite the hotel and the main sights are within walking distance. There are several eateries and snack shops on the same block. Ranjit, who checked me in, was friendly and helpful. The room was of average size for a three-star city hotel. Not big, but not cramped, either. It came with a comfortable queen bed, a desk, a coffee table and a chair as well as a safe, a fridge, three 0.5 L water bottles (replenished daily) and efficient A/C. There are sockets by the bed and desk, so charging your devices was easy, but bring an adapter as Kuwait uses the UK standard. The room was clean and tidy, and as it was newly renovated, it was in very good condition. I had a nice view of the roundabout and souk, but street noise was a problem, so bring earplugs (and an eyemask as the curtains won’t keep the room fully dark). Wifi was easy to use, fast, free, unlimited and reliable. No password needed. The bathroom felt older, but water pressure in the shower was very good and hot water ample. No bathtub. Amenities consisted of small bars of soap as well as wall-mounted containers of soap and shampoo. The maid has additional amenities available on request, such as shaving kits etc. Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the 10th floor 7:30–10, but I did not try it. Apparently the restaurant is not open for lunch or dinner anymore. A taxi from the airport took about 25 minutes and cost 8 KD. The hotel arranges airport transfers for 6 KD. I paid 70 EUR/night, no breakfast included, and I believe the price was right for what I consider a good three-star hotel. I couldn’t have wished for more.
