This hotel is part of the tripoli history. It's a good hotel with the following point of stoke: good room, not noisy, good breakfast and restaurant, familiar environment, Free internet connection. Weak points: sometime the service slow down and I have experienced little issues solved from the staff. To this aim, special mention to Mohammed (reception supervisor) that represents an... More

absolutely absurd, even for Africa with their filthy carpets, intermittent wi fi connection and nasy Southeast Asia front desk staff. Hotel seems to be empty, seems I was one of the only people gullible enough to pay these rates. Never again.

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.
