“Acceptable stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

I stayed at this hotel for three nights. The staff were courteous and helpful, the breakfast and meals at the hotel were fine. The room was clean...Free wifi in the bedroom. The hotel has a pool and a gym -I did not check them out. There is a "damp" smell coming from the A/C system. There were not enough non-smoking rooms, so I had to stay in a smoking room. The hotel is in early '90s decor mode.

I have no special complaints and as I said before the staff were all excellent. The hotel itself has a "dull" vibe and is missing something....But if you are just looking for a place to stay for the night and don't need frills, the Safir will be a good choice.

“Great location for transit and good rooms but cleanliness questionable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2011

The location of this hotel can't be beat and the rooms are well designed. My only complaint is that I found some hair in the showers.

“Good comfortable in a new city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2010

Very comfortable rooms, courteous staff, good food and free wi-fi. Whenever we have business in Kuwait, our staff always stays here. Never had any problems.
Good Indian restaurant Daawat across the road.

“Well Managed Property Given Age”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2010

This is an older hotel, and one which would benefit from cinsiderable investment in renovation and upgrades. Set gainst that the management obviously work hard to compensate via good service, a 'customer comes first" attitude and a very friendly welcome. Only one restaurant and few options nearby but selection on buffet available is wide. Included in room rate breakfast is good. Work needed on quality of TV reception and choice of channels plus the Wi-Fi connectivity (poor in many rooms).

“Great Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2009

I had an 8 hour lay over in Kuwait before i catch my connecting flight to Manila. Kuwait Airways has given me a room at Safir. My room was fantastic, it has 2 single beds beside a huge glass window, a WIFI access on my floor, a ref, a TV with English channels, and a well attended bathroom. The staff from the reception counter was polite and the Manager of the Main Dining was also as accommodating. The Manager, an Indian looking fellow had charged the battery of my mobile phone and had it brought up to my room. I could say I was pampered here. They gave me a call to have my dinner and again to prepare myself to catch my bus that will take me back to the airport. They also have a small DFS on the lobby where you can buy a last minute presents.
