I was pleasantly surprised - the staff was attentive, polite and accommodating - the lobby is beautiful - the room was large, very clean and modern thought not top shelf it was excellent overall. I stayed in the adjoining building where the hallways were a bit worn but not an issue. The morning buffet was 5-star quality and was available from 6am-11:30am which provides a great deal of flexibility. The hotel picked me up the morning of my arrival and dropped me at the airport upon departure - a fantastic complimentary service. The only issue is the construction behind the hotel is somewhat unsightly but realistically there was no noise or practical problems at all. Overall the Safir Fintas Kuwait is an excellent choice and highly recommended.
