    Our trip was overshadowed by a series of bad experience in this hotel. I wouldn't strongly recommend you look elsewhere. My rating would have been 0/5 if the system allowed it. 1. The toilets are in dire need of renovation. The shower head is tiny and doesn't cover your body. The shower tub was yellowish and looked disgusting 2. The hotel is non-smoking yet I smell this stinking smell as I goto my room once 3. The nightclub starts at 10pm and while we stay in the lobby it gets very loud & disturbing, add to this fights happen there and you hear ranting and screaming 4. The breakfast was mediocre and doesn't represent a 5-star hotel, the menu also never changes, we had the same food for 3 nights in a row 5. When I forgot my card key inside the room, I asked them to bring a new card key. They refused and told me to come down if I wanted one. 6. The hallways are nosiy with no privacy, you can hear what's happening inside easily. The food of room service is left outside rooms and can be left there for hours and sometimes a day until a staff member comes and picks it up! 7. The smell of the bed smells terrible, it smells like a mix of sweat and muck. After a nice shower the last thing you want is to sleep on it. Overall it was a terrible experience, there is not a single thing I can recommend. This might have been a 5-star hotel 15 years ago. Today it's a 2-star hotel at best.

    The location is close to many landmarks

    Excellent hotel not far from the airport (10 min drive ) and close to the old downtown (bab Bahrain) only 10 min walking. Just in front of the hotel there is a good mall (moda mall) and the hotel provide shuttle bus to city center mall, often. Nice place and friendly and attentive staff , above alla the director George, thanks to be attentive to my requests. The room also quite spacious and comfortable, clean and tiny. Also the food was good ( I tried for dinner ) and breakfast buffet very reach and various. The area around safe and lively even if the rooms was very quiet, overlooking the pool

    Staff were amazing: professional and kind Great room: clean and comfortable I asked for a wake up call. I had left my phone off the hook the night before by mistake and the staff knocked on my door at the correct time to make sure I woke up. Generally really impressed! Next time I'm in Bahrain I'll take my family here. I asked for a taxi to pick me up at 430 am they had it there waiting for me.

    When we first arrived, there was no one at the front door to help us with our luggage. Moreover, we we not able to watch the World Cup in our room because there was no sports channel to view it. Finally, there were problems viewing the World Cup in the pool area because there were signal problems from time to time. We were unable to see all matches because of this.

    The hotel is old and dirty, not five stars. Someone constantly walks knocking on the door, and you can hear everything in the morning when people go to breakfast. Half of the declared items were not in the room, there was not even a balcony. There was also no iron and ironing board. I left 1 day early, I couldn't stay there, it was very uncomfortable. There was no hot water.

    Good location and breakfast. Responsive staff.
