personally i think its really overpriced.

Otherwise its a decent hotel, the room service food isn’t up to standard though.

Been there a few times. Aside from the nice decorations, the hotel is a piece of crap. The service sucks and the staff is not qualified to run a 5-star hotel. The overall experience just feels fake.

Wonder what’s the average occupancy rate of hotels in Kuwait. Who comes to Kuwait on holiday and stay in these hotels?

Oh – Desert Sky – last time I heard, occupancy rates were around 30%. The only way the hotels can discount a room is if they sell as “long term stay”. Only a percentage of a hotel’s rooms are allocated as long term, however.

Banditos got a monopoly on everything…

FYI – Kuwait has a little over 8mil airport passengers per year, of which 15% are leisure trips. Kuwait visitors are 50% from Arab countries, and about 25% from Europe. Occupancy was 54% in 2010. Average room rates have always been very high in Kuwait (over 200$) and is one of the highest in the region (241$ in 2010), along with Beirut (264$) and Riyadh (261$).source 2011 ME Hotel Survey HVS.com

Kuwait’s 5 star hotels are run by the Hotels Association, a cartel not unlike OPEC.

I stayed at many 5 star Dubai hotels and they have lower rates, which attracts competition and more services.

The only thing that differentiates the 5 star hotels here are the location and what restaurants they have.

Waiting for Messilah Beach Hotel (if it ever opens).
