Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were fabulous with very comfortable beds, but a bit too noisy due to construction works nearby. The service was great, especially from Emilyn & Del, who were very accommodating. The location is excellent for the Adliya district nightlife, next to high-quality restaurants serving alcoholic beverages. The dining experience had an amazing choice during breakfast. The facilities were top-notch, offering various services like room service and car hire.
The hotel offers spacious rooms featuring a jacuzzi tub and a large, comfortable bed. The skyline views of Jufair and Al Fath Grand Mosque are stunning. The China Garden restaurant serves the best Chinese cuisine in Bahrain. The pool area feels like a resort oasis within bustling Manama.
The hotel provided a mixed experience with spacious and comfortable rooms but some issues with tiny bathroom facilities. The service was exemplary with a warm welcome from staff throughout, especially from Katarina and Wude. The location was convenient, surrounded by restaurants, but could get congested over weekends. Dining was nice, with inclusive rates but limited alcoholic choices. Overall, a decent option for the price.
The hotel offers very nice and spacious rooms, some with a bathtub, but they were not as luxurious as others in the region. I found the charge of BD3.500 a bit on the high side. The room was very cold during my stay.
I couldn't have asked for a better spot to stay! The hotel is beautifully located, adjacent to the new food village in Manama, offering a special experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were large, luxurious, and spotlessly clean, but the bathroom was tiny and barely usable, feeling more suited for a child. Despite a few issues, the overall stay was comfortable.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms had a musty smell and were a bit outdated. However, the location was convenient and the dining options were great. The service was friendly and helpful, but the TV could use an upgrade.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were average and not up to a 5-star standard. I was initially offered a smoking room, which wasn't ideal, and was slightly inconvenient when cleaners came early in the morning to clean. On the bright side, the service was exceptional with friendly staff, especially a big thank you to Miss Ruth for accommodating my early check-in request and providing a room with a bath. However, the dining experience, although varied, seemed to have slow made-to-order options. The location was excellent, with a huge outdoor pool and easy access to many restaurants and pubs.
The hotel offers spacious and beautiful rooms that are clean; however, the lack of facilities or fantastic furniture makes them simple and normal. The service is attentive to your requirements and always delivers satisfaction. The location is very relaxing and low-lit at night, creating a nice romantic environment. The dining experience has some shortcomings but offers divine options. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
Despite some inconveniences like lingering paint smell and missing amenities, my stay at the hotel was overall comfortable and satisfying. The service was impeccable, though a bit delayed in assisting with bags. The location offered a refreshing change with its rooftop uniqueness and proximity to various attractions, with a minor setback of requiring transportation to malls. Dining options were limited but satisfactory for family needs.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious and located nicely but not fully prepared upon arrival, with used tissues in the drawers. The staff was super helpful and attentive, even allowing us an extra hour after checkout. The location was convenient, but moving luggage between buildings was a hassle. The dining experience was fantastic but on the pricey side. Overall, a decent value for money stay with some minor inconveniences.
