We have stayed at Claridges and The Peninsula Hong Kong so know a little bit about quality hotels. Given this hotel is not charging their prices what they deliver is excellent. Service was excellent, we had a mix up on room service and it was immediately deducted from the bill. Staff couldn't do enough for you and the two lady... More

This is an excellent hotel, very nice rooms, excellent service, very good food and accommodations, a beautiful swimming pool area and of course also access to beach and sea. Two small remarks though, it is what they call a "dry" hotel, meaning no alcohol available in the hotel and restaurant and the internet connection from the room did not work... More

Khalidiya Palace is a fair, nice 5 star hotel, but I would consider it a 4 star hotel. We came from Fairmont that was hundred times better, but also much more expensive. Rooms are fairly nice and we got a great room with view over the sea. To Fairmont: Our room, 517 was not able to lock the terrass door.... More

The hotel overall is quite nice - attractive, if rather generic, lobby areas and rooms. But the service is rather inconsistent and often quite muddled. Check in took quite a long time and room service was quite poor (service very muddled and food was just ok). The rooms have small kitchenettes (and my friends were staying in a 2 bdrm... More

It would have been cheaper to stay in a Hilton or Sheraton downtown but we wanted a hotel with a beach so we decided on khaldiya. When we first... More

Very high standard of service, alcohol free hotel so if you fancy a bevy get a taxi to the Hilton Beach Club - just £2 and a 5 min ride. Nice big rooms and well looked after, turn-down service as standard and they replaced towels halway through the day. Good breakfast set-up and friendly staff. More

I booked hotel via internet after consideration of comments on tripadvisor.com.The hotel is beautiful , the rooms are large and comfortable, the staff helpful. But bad comments about dirty beach were proved, because of water from the construction site next to the hotel, so the water is muddy and on the coast you can see the foam, garbage and even... More
