“The hotel is nice. Staff are courteous and very welcoming. Rooms are big with beautiful Italian marble bathroom. Very comfortable for families. But BEWARE of lower floors (until the 2nd floor): your room will be smelly from the main kitchen and noisy from the street. Add to this in our case, the thin walls as we hear our neighbors shouting and fighting (our room is separated by a door). Not worth the price at all. Henry (the duty manager) tried his best to change our room but the hotel is fully booked (probably overbooked in this case). Would have expected much more from Waldorf Astoria.”
— Hassan El-Shabrawishi
“Have just come back from an amazing 4 night trip at the WA on the Palm. What a fabulous hotel ! The service was excellent from start to finish. The entire WA team go out of their way to make your stay perfect ! My partner and I had some wonderful chats with a few members of the staff and unfortunately I didn't get all their names. Thomas at the adult pool was fabulous and had impeccable customer service skills. It was a joy to spend our trip at this hotel and can't wait to return. Thanks to the WA team !”
