Hawalli · Kuwait
Where to Stay in Sharq, Hawalli
The heart of Kuwait City proper, with government buildings, older hotels, and the main souk. It’s compact and feels like the old downtown.
✦ The vibe
Chaotic, traditional, and functional – no frills.
👤 Best for
Business travellers, budget travellers, and anyone wanting to be near historic markets and the waterfront.
🏨 Where to stay
Budget to mid-range hotels (e.g., Crowne Plaza, Sahara). Prices are lower than Salmiya but rooms can be small.
🚇 Getting around
Moderately walkable for the souk and seafront. Taxis essential for longer trips. 10 minutes to city centre (already there), 20 minutes to airport.
📍 Nearby
Souk Al-Mubarakiya, Kuwait Towers (just south).
