A real nice hotel, gentle staff, superb patio, ideal for an arabic coffee. Comfortable and vast room, always kept clean Great breakfirst in a superb diningroom, main meal less enjoyable. Quite reasonnable price in regard of service rendered.

The Al Waddan is a part of Tripoli's history, I was told by a man I met in the lobby on my first day in the hotel. He lived now in Washington DC but had lived in Tripoli and remembered when there was a casino and a movie theatre that used to show first-run Hollywood movies, in the time when... More

My many stays in Al-Waddan hotel always bring joyful memories. This fantastic landmark of our great capital is truly a remarkable achievement of the hospitality industry in Libya since the Kingdom time. The staff made me feel very welcome as if I was home. Their professionalism is unmatched to any of the hotels around the world and I have been... More

I can remember staying at the Uaddan Hotel and Casino in 1956 and found it to be delightful as I see it is once again. I had a large room overlooking the harbor. There was a lounge that was used by the US Military, British and the Oil Company Geologists that were searching for oil that they eventually found. I... More

Al-Waddan suffers from it's location. Overshadowed by an un-finished monolith Intercontinental hotel and alongside the seafront roads it almost seems out of place. Distictively coloured everyone in Tripoli knows Al Waddan. The interior is peaceful with a wonderfully under-used outside patio area and an even less utilised swimming pool area. Breakfast is fine but main meal selection leaves a bit... More

I have stayed in a number of hotels in Tripoli since visiting Libya several times since the Revolution of 2011. The Al Waddan was recommended by a friend when I complained that certain other famous hotels were highly overpriced and offered very little in return. Not only is the hotel beautifully designed and laid out (it was originally built in... More

The staff at the Al Waddan is great! I was travelling with a small group of dignitaries and the staff went out of their way to make our stay safe and comfortable. I would especially like to thank the sales managers Hayat and Raif for all their help. I can warmly recommend the Al Waddan.

After having spent many months in the Plasma Hotel (see separate review) a very good corporate rate was agreed with the Al Waddan. The hotel was exceptional in some areas, quirky in others! A particular 'quirk' is the room layout. No two rooms seem the same - suggest you ask to look at a selection before you commit. Some can... More

I've stayed in this hotel a number of times and can compare it with several other hotels in Tripoli. It is not a very typical hotel as it was originally built some 80 years ago, used to very popular, and in the 1950s it hosted a very big casino. However after the Libyan revolution it was rather neglected until early... More
