I switched to this hotel after a less satisfactory stay at another nearby location, and I was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to help. However, the bathrooms could use some updating to match the rest of the room. Overall, a great value for money with additional amenities nearby for convenience.

I had a pleasant stay at Liwah Hotel, especially for the reasonable price I paid. The rooms were in good condition and clean, making it a great value for budget travelers like me. Although the hotel is a bit older and could use some upgrades, the cozy environment and friendly services made my experience enjoyable. It’s also conveniently located near shopping and dining options, which is a plus. However, I did find the dining options not quite up to par.

I had a pleasant stay at Liwah Hotel, where the rooms were clean, and the overall environment was cozy, making it great for budget travelers. The mattress and bedding were new, which added to the comfort during my stay. However, the corridor carpet really does need replacing soon, and the toilet could use some refurbishment to improve overall satisfaction.

I had a great stay at this hotel, especially after switching from another place that wasn’t as nice or affordable. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond in terms of service. The bathroom could use some updates, but overall, it was worth the price. I also appreciated the proximity to the riverfront for a nice walk and a lovely nearby cafe for food.
