킹 파드 팰리스

The location it’s verry nice

Très bon séjour je recommande

塞內最好的酒店了吧

Upon arrival one is met with a barricaded entrance and security people who yell at you that you must walk from the car park area. Doesn't matter how much luggage you have, the entrance cannot be entered and you must walk from the car park. By the way, the car park is dark and possibly not safe. When I asked at reception why they do this - it's for "security"... ??? Check in was as if they had never done it before. Rooms are OK, but coffee and water are not replenished. Toilet leaked. Food left me deathly ill. Meeting facilities are miles away. Gym is mostly closed - at least at times like early morning when someone would want to use it. Restaurant service was reasonably friendly but food was bad. Breakfast was completely inedible. No signage, so no idea how to get around the place. Banquet room had very little a/c. Overall the place and the staff are old and tired and clearly the management looks only at the cost and does nothing with customers or service in mind. It's a great location, but would need to be torn down and rebuilt and re-staffed before I'd consider staying again.

My expectations were low based on the reviews here but the experience was better than I had hoped for. I was on a business trip so didnt use the swimming pool (which was being repaired), and the children's play area was totally inaccessible. Room was comfortable. The gym was basic (no working airco, very cramped) but I have seen worse. Breakfast good. It may not live up to a 5* experience in other countries but in all not bad.
