Hotels near Sharq Market Waterfront in Kuwait

After a search lasting months, it was clear that my first ever trip to Kuwait would be at Ramada Encore by Wyndham Kuwait, where price and encouragement to book were concerned. Whilst the Hotel does not offer views of the Kuwait Towers, a short stroll left of the entrance, into the carpark and you may see Kuwait's Global Icon in all it's glory. The rooms are smart,clean and comfortable but be warned that the hotel offers smoking rooms. Please ensure you are aware of this. The Breakfast Buffet was very delicious and filling. The Staff are all lovely and friendly namely Mostafa,Gunneswaran,Mofeed,Jovelyn,Natalio,Wilmalyn,Rich Ann, Prateek,Arvic. Located in the financial district of Sharq, the views from the room include the massive Skyscrapers Al Hamra and NBK's Headquarters. The hotel has superfast WiFi, pleasant free toiletries and a team dedicated to making your stay great. I was fortunate to meet the owner Mr Fahad who made me feel very welcome. From Kuwait International, the hotel is a 15 minute drive by private car or Careem Taxi. The location itself is around the same distance/time from key attractions including the luxurious Avenues Mall. There is a small convenience store directly behind the hotel but note it is cash only. The Talabat (food delivery app) Driver on two occasions seemed to get the location wrong and ended up at the Swiss Bellin behind the hotel, so please ensure you are clear about your location. The Talabat Drivers do bring the food order direct to your room or leave it at reception for the hotel staff to bring upstairs. The Reception Staff don't seem to have a standard uniform but this does not deflect the great service and a public computer is in the lobby along with printing facilities. Free newspapers, in room tea/coffee/water bottles and a delightful rooftop bar ( non alcoholic in line with Kuwait being alcohol free ) complete the line up of features.

Good location, two steps away is a big mall, can solve the problem of eating, there is no Chinese food nearby. The air conditioner in the room was not heating, it was too cold.

The hotel is such a great place to stay, they have a nice and cozy rooms, my stay was excellent from the service and also front desk are always smiling, attentive whenever I have request they always ready to help, pool and gym are relaxing . Well suggested to all my family and friends

Overall a great stay. The room was a good size, clean and with a small view of the water. TV has youtube and netflix loaded on it which was a nice perk. Good tea selection in the room and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. The pool is locked for the winter. There is a beautiful park close by which is great for relaxing and also it is walkable distance to the beach.

I must thank you and all the team at Marriott Residence Inn for my comfortable short stay. Returning to Marriott is like returning to a second home for me as I am comfortable with the team and the setup (I really like the room side view of the football pitch on top of the opposite building). I want to provide a special recognition for Mounir (my Morocco friend) who helped me settle into the room by taking the weight off my shoulders on luggage allowing me to be at peace of mind for a relaxed short stay. I also wish to thank the evening shift team in guiding me to where the local convenience shops are (I went for an evening walk) and the morning shift team in booking transportation for me whether this was to Burj Alshaya or the Airport (a very smooth process). I also want to thank the breakfast restaurant team who made me feel like a prince serving my routine likes for breakfast. What a nice feeling that was. Finally I want to thank the Management Team in providing an incentive to register as a Member at Marriott Residence Inn (I did this with the help of Nita on the first evening) and in providing a special birthday cake in advance of my birthday - a very thoughtful and memorable appreciation for an important day given my hectic Business Travel commitments (my only regret was that I could not eat all of it given my tight check out commitment but I did take a photo - compliments to the Chef please!). The above demonstrates the family ethos the Marriott Residence Inn Team have with me and is the reason why I will continue to return as a guest. All the best.

Visited Kuwait for the second time and stayed at IBIS in Sharjah. The hotel is in the heart of Kuwait. The business hotel is very good, the room is suitable for one person, clean and tidy, and the city mattress is a little soft for me. The hotel's front desk service is enthusiastic and will take the initiative to give you a power converter. There are many small supermarkets around the hotel. There are many places to eat. It is easy and very convenient to take a taxi outside the hotel. Next time I go to Kuwait, I will definitely stay again.

Very good, service attitude is also very good, cost-effective. Suitable for business trips. But if you want to go around by yourself and go shopping, you have to take a taxi to AEVENUE Mall. There is nothing near the hotel, which looks like Dongguan Street in the 90s.

It’s great it inside the mall. The hotel staff was friendly.

The choice of breakfast is relatively small, the environment is OK, not far from the beach, the room can see the scenery of the beach. The price is OK, the room is not very big

Late review, but well deserved to a very nice hotel, I stayed at Al Hamra hotel for 3 months as a part of a 3 months business contract The place felt like home, staff is extra nice and helpful , the challenges of delivering a good hospitality services during Covid lockdown were exceedingly met, everyone had a face mask, sanitizers are all over the place, meals were delivered to rooms in boxes on time Limousine service led by Mr Mohamed khalaf is the best you can every find Room service was spectacular
