Best rooms

Request rooms on floors 4–6, facing the inner courtyard away from شارع الشهداء. These floors are high enough to reduce street noise but still within the lower half of the building for faster lift access.

Request a room on floors 5 through 8, facing away from Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Rd. These upper floors reduce traffic rumble and offer a quieter experience. North-facing rooms overlook the hotel's inner courtyard, minimising street noise.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms facing the front (شارع الشهداء) on floors 1–3, as street traffic from this major road is loud, especially during peak hours and Friday prayers. Also avoid rooms near the lift core on any floor due to ding and chatter.

Avoid rooms on floors 1 through 4 facing the main road. Low-level rooms pick up the full force of traffic noise from the six-lane Sheikh Zayed highway, especially during peak hours. Rooms near the lift lobbies on any floor can also be noisy due to foot traffic and lift machinery.

Free standard Wi-Fi (approx. 10 Mbps) for all guests, no login restrictions; premium tier at 5 KWD/day offers 30 Mbps.
