Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with balconies opening to the sea, although some safety concerns exist. The service at the F&B Beverly was exceptional, with professional and polite staff. The location is convenient for exploring downtown and Marina Mall, although it may be a bit far. The dining options are varied and delicious, catering to early risers as well. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were very spacious and had a very comfortable bed, perfect for families with children. However, the central lobby area was a bit of a downside.
The hotel is a mixed bag with spacious and beautifully set up rooms but lacking in comfort. The service ranges from extremely helpful and kind to disrespectful and unhelpful. Its great location near palaces and a mall is its strong point, yet the dining experience leaves something to be desired. The facilities are there, but with some drawbacks.
I was totally surprised by the rooms, which came with better views, large balconies, and magnificent views of the Palace and grounds, especially at night when all the lights are on. The hotel staff, from the recreation team to the duty manager, Mr Ahmad Saeed, were perfect - accommodating, friendly, responsive, and helpful. The location is compact, in a very nice area, and spot-on, though it was very busy during our stay. The dining experience was diverse and delicious, with the only miss being brewed coffee.
The hotel provides spacious and very clean rooms with kitchenette facilities and washing facilities, featuring a very comfortable bed and amazing balcony views. The location is convenient, with a good play area close to the city and easy access to various attractions. The dining experience offers a good selection of international and local foods, though some improvements could be made. Overall, it's great value for money with its friendly and helpful service.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel with fantastic views of the palace from my room. However, the noise during breakfast was a downside, as it was quite loud with all the plates being handled.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were large, spacious, and clean, with beautiful views from the balcony. The staff throughout the hotel, including the restaurant, swimming pool, and reception, were kind and attentive. However, the hotel was a bit crowded due to the Eid holiday.
The hotel is super clean and well-maintained, although some rooms could use a slight update in decor. The breakfast started well on the 3rd day of my stay. The furniture is old, and the breakfast area feels crowded and dirty with poor food quality.
