We stayed at the Regency Hotel to celebrate my wife's birthday, and it was a very pleasant stay. Room was ready when we arrived. Towels were arranged as swans and a big heart on the bed, and a birthday cake with candles was sent to our room later in the evening. Mr. Amr Al-Nabrawai (reservations agent) made sure all the arrangements were as planned. Many thanks to him!
Hotel is well-maintained. Breakfast was delicious and had lots of varieties. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops around. Would go there again!

Wasn’t offered a good room.
Also, It was very noisy that I can hear birthday wishes on my bed from the lobby. Very very noisy rooms. And the decor is old, it needs renovation. Rooms are small.

Mixed feelings because of hotel security behaviour

he hotel is located in Salmiya, which is at least 20 minutes drive from Kuwait City downtown. However there is a complex with restaurants only 5 minutes walk away that we found very handy. The Hotel was great from every aspect. The lounge and the terrace were fantastic. The breakfast was amazing, maybe the best I had in any place I have visited so far. Choice was incredible and there was also the option to have some local specialties cooked fresh for you. Food at the restaurant was also good and mocktails were great. Room was also clean and comfortable, although standard room was a bit on the small side with no view. All staff was extremely helpful and very professional. Special thanks to Kamel for the Arabic coffee at the dates station. If you are a married couple, be prepared to have your wedding certificate with you (!) but this is the country law. The ladies pool was not in use which was disappointing. My only SERIOUS criticism for the hotel is that hotel security were a bit over the top asking us our room number all the time. We were among the very few \"Westerner\" guests, although I do not know if this is relevant. That also happened 3 times within 2 hours on the last day of our stay at the hotel's private beach. My wife was also questioned by security why she was taking pictures of the sea (?), although he said it was allowed. Half an hour later the security returned with the German hotel manager(?) and asked her the same thing, which totally ruined her mood.

First of all I'm from Kuwait and this hotel is the worst hotel ever and I'm saying this because of a rule they implemented which is against the law in Kuwait and against every possible logic you ever knew in your hotels experience! They put a sign in front of the main door that no food or beverages are allowed inside the hotel! So basically they force you to eat from there overpriced menu or go out to eat! This prison policy are used in this well known brand name hotel!! I spoke with the manager and he said it's there policy and he don't care what people said and he even told me go to ahead and file a complain in ministry of commerce and that i did. What I'm saying is this you pay for a room that you will use by there stupid rules like no food from outside no drinks from outside maybe in the future no shoes or no glasses! It's absurd. It's beyond words... Again reminder for new dwellers in this hotel: NO FOOD OR BEVERAGES IS ALLOWED FROM OUTSIDE THE HOTEL.
NOTE: BUY THERE OVERPRICED FOODS OR GO EAT OUT OF THERE HOTEL

sorry for the long review but I must do it

Great but need to consider this comment

Everything was just perfect..
Great location
Great service and such a nice interior
One thing i just did not like about the hotel which is you are not allowed to bring food from outside...
Well i never tried to bring any or needed to but when ever I entered the hotel security guys kept asking me u have food with u or something ?
It just feels awkward
I hope the management consider this as a hotel not as 5 star prison!

Wedding night in Regency

The hotel was very good but the check in process was little bit strange. they told me that my wife should come with me so that they can give me the key of the room. It was my wedding night so my wife couldnot come at check-in time. they refused to give me the key although I gave them the passport of my wife and the marriage contract. they told me that they will give me the key when my wife come to the hotel with me. My comment is that the real 5 stars hotel would give you the keys and offer surprises in the hotel for the wedding night.
