Manama Hotels | Places to Stay in Manama

August 12, 2022 Brandee Mangan

Manama, capital of the island nation of Bahrain, is a major financial center with a thriving economy. A surplus of money has decorated the skyline with glass and steel spires, and plans for the tallest tower in the world. Although Bahrain is an Islamic country, alcohol is legal, and Manama has a thriving nightlife, with clubs and bars popular with visitors from all over the world. The narrow rows of stalls at the Bab el-Bahrain souk are famous for their vast array of perfumes, spices, and gold.

Caring

Reviewed By CRX69

I spent only a quick night in this hotel but enough to appreciate. Room was super spacious with a cozy sitting room, large bathroom with both bathtub and shower and super comfortable bed. When I reached the room, I found a plate of fresh fruit and 2 hand made chocolate bars. Staff was super friendly and caring: I lost a scarf on one of the lobby sofas and they return it so promptly. Closely located to the souk, it was very convenient for pre-dinner strolling and shopping

Noise issues

Reviewed By Resort180232

Issues with noise at this location. Loud personal speakers playing at the pool area which were ignored by passing staff. The rooms did not have good soundproofing making it hard to sleep with loud neighboring guests. The location is very nice and the breakfast buffet was good, especially the fresh squeezed orange juice.

Unfriendly and poor trained staff

Reviewed By kolk482

Staff serving at the poolside are not professional and ask for the payment on one cup of coffee after one hour when you are relaxing at the poolside. Without asking if I should have more on my tap, the staff come straight over and asked me to pay. Unprofessional and not worth/good for the Hotel reputation to mistrust in their Hotel guest like this. Not recommended Hotel, we will continue our weekend stay at Intercontinental across the street.

Very Un helpful Front desk.

Reviewed By Kazi A

The Hotel itself is good, not far (15-20 minutes from Airport), but there is not enough front desk staff & what staff there is, is not very welcoming or helpful. Takes several minutes to wait just to ask a question, some staff members appear to be irritated when asked a question, there is no concierge present most of the time. All in All VERY BAD FRONT DESK experience. Breakfast is good with huge variety. Rooms are very nice & clean. Location is good, built on a beautiful artificial Island & shopping/dining just a boat ride away which cost 1 dinar one way. City Center & other Malls also 15-20 minutes, use Uber to go around, much cheaper than Taxi.
