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.

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.
