Hotels near The Marina, Manama

It is a very nice hotel, a bit pricey though. They service is impeccable and their team is very courteous The apartments looks similar to photos and clean. A special thank you to Avinash from house keeping team. I was sick and he noticed that while doing the regular housekeeping and he brought a blanket and kept checking on me and offered to get me any thing from outside. That goes beyond his job and I'm very thankful for that. Thanks again

Valet parking is now for charge !! Which is a surprising. This is a high class luxurious Five star hotel which should provide these default services with no charges. Otherwise it would be the same as the lower class hotels !

If you do not mind being away from the centre where the action takes place, it is the perfect hotel if you visit Bahrain for business purposes. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly and assistive. WIFI is good There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Old hotel, small room, no breakfast, not recommended

Stayed here from.the 26th May until the 29th May for a short break with my partner. We arrived on an early flight and we already knew check in wasn't until 2pm but they managed to do us an early check in which was very kind of the reception staff cannot fault their customer service the 2 female staff behind reception were lovely so friendly the male reception staff also fantastic the reception area is well decorated and very clean with some beautiful furniture pieces the fish tanks in the wall are stunning. We had room 107 which was only 1 floor up in the lift, very large clean rooms with everything you need beds huge and comfortable cannot hear any outside noise, air con works very well. You have tea, coffee and water in the room. Pool area is really clean, plenty of seating, could do with a few more sunbeds. The pool lifeguard is a great man very friendly always came over to speak to us, i left an item of clothing by the pool and he kept it to one side for me and came looking for me to give it me back which i thought was lovely and an amazing memory to remember who it belonged to. You can grab drinks and snacks from La Brasserie restaurant and they will bring it to the pool. The beach could do with some more sunbeds for guests, too many want to use it and there was only a few sunbeds the other half of beach belongs to a beach club and you have to pay. You also cannot take drinks on to the beach but you also cannot buy from the bar we had to be taken to bar by beach security the rules are strange maybe they need changing slightly as the beach is lovely but its confusing for hotel guests maybe put a sign up for hotel guests, the vibe is good here music is great we arrived the same day kube wave event was on and it was a god vibe allday. We ate at La Brasserie restaurant every night as the food is amazing and the portions are very big. Highly recommend the food and the staff are fantastic with great hospitality especially the one young man he was amazing always had a chat with us about football etc. The cheese springs rolls are amazing also the kebabs they are huge. The food prices are good for a hotel very similar cost to what we pay in the uk for a meal out, we also had breakfast here small choice but it was enough for us. We also had drinks in shift 7 the barmans really friendly, the bar is very clean, some amazing interiror the view overlooking the sea is great. If you require a shop you either need to jump in an uber to Lulus supermarket which is about 5 minutes in car or if you walk out of reception doors turn right head up the dual carriagways there is a small supermarket in walking distance. Hotel is a great location from the airport only a short drive away. Malls are quite local to if you jump in a uber. Had an amazing time here hated leaving to go home if we visit again we will definatley use this hotel. The hospitality is faultless thankyou for an amazing stay.

Very quiet hotel, automatic room upgrade is considerate, and the view is very good

On 9th of October 2022 at around 15:00hrs. I went to visit a friend who is checked-in on one of their rooms help me fix something with my musical instrument. No greetings not even a pleasant welcoming but instead there’s one security personnel in a light blue security uniform who will stare at you fiercely which is very rude gesture. The room is booked for 2 Pax. This rude staring security personnel stopped me and asked for an ID (again no greetings at all) I went to the reception and handed over my ID for verification which is I believe is an Hotel Policy Standard and I understand since I’ve had worked for almost all of the 5-Star Luxury Hotels & Resorts here in Bahrain then suddenly things went confusing. The staff on the reception which I handed over my ID told me the room is booked for 2 person/pax, I said okay and he told me to pay for the sum of Twelve Bahraini Dinars (BHD 12) then I asked “for what should I pay for 12 BHD?” Then the receptionist replied “Yes, for visit you have to pay BHD 12” and I was shocked! I told him this is the very first time that I encountered such thing! I worked in Four Seasons, The Ritz, Sofitel, but I never encountered charging a visitor just to visit a friend. But the receptionist has a good follow up answer, He said “those are expensive hotel nohh? We are cheap hotel that’s why we are charging visitor for it” and I was like, “Wallah… Bravo” They let me proceed but in one condition to stay only for 5 minutes. And yes after 5 minutes they called the room and went to the room with a security and a Arab speaking/looking guy wearing plain black t-shirt and regular jeans. Though I have their names, I decided not to name them. Just depend their on duty timing of 15:00 onwards.

We visited this hotel on April 1, 2019. The hotel is modest but interesting. They were on the breakfast-supper system. In my opinion, this is exactly what it suits. Because, to the sea, they take buses from 9 o'clock and take to 13.00 (like). That is, lunch will be all the way. In addition, we went on tours in the city ourselves, as Guid offered for crazy prices. More precisely, we did not take the tours, but looked at the web where and what, and went on buses. Food after Turkey Well, very modest, the choice of dishes is small but also the budget rest, it needs to be understood. You will not stay hungry. No claims! The rooms are small but in your own, eastern style, very beautiful! Conder works, but we couldn't understand the management for a long time. On the respiratory Russian-speaking girl, everything is cultural and cute. When we arrived, we collapsed to sleep. The flight was heavy, of course. We woke up only in the evening and there was a sand storm, a little. Very interesting. In the morning - like nothing ever happened. Bvhrain is a small island, and Manama is especially, but people are of course very welcome. Especially the Hindus. Help, hint, tell. They walked to the NATO base, the World Trade Center, the market, the Calat al Bahrain (a visit free) and on the streets. Near the building the shopping center. We bought cheese there from Australia, it was magical, so far nothing can be compared to it. Bahrain port island, there is nothing of them, local kind of no, but from all over the world in shopping malls, whatever... eyes are running away. The result: Hotel -4 (there is allowed to smoke, and smoke on the corridors walks. Also there is a club on 2 like the floor, so a little noisy, but we had the room on the other side), Food - 3+++, service 5, tour +/-

We were at the Art hotel for a brunch and pool day, rather than to stay. We were excited to visit the hotel which gets great reviews, and it’s often hard to separate the reviews for staying at a hotel, with those for simply dining or using the facilities. Our expectations were high, we were left very disappointed. Here’s why; - first, before the bad, let’s quickly cover the good…the buffet brunch in Choices looks good and probably half of the brunch on offer is above average for the food typically available at these mass events. The fish, sushi, cooked meats and dim sum were all good. The food is better than most brunches - Now the bad…first, one of the reasons for attending a brunch at these big family resort hotels is the benefit of the access that comes with the brunch-pool, beach and critically kids club. We checked these facilities were included when we booked the day before the brunch, however when we arrived with our 5-year-old and asked where we’d find the kids club, we were informed that the rules had changed (in 24 hours?) and it was no longer included. For us this is a big problem, our son can’t sit a watch people eat for 3 hours, and loves a kids club. Ultimately, we were given access, however this involved several “approval” phone calls, and rather than guests prioritized to have a great time, we were left feeling like we were taking advantage, cheating them, and somehow doing something wrong. If it’s not included, tell us when we book, we won’t book, no problem. Don’t make your guests feel like this - Many things in the restaurant area diminish the dining experience…the room overall is pretty devoid of atmosphere, but the main issue is an unpleasant lingering smell in various areas…having been there through brunch we concluded it was the cleaning materials and stinky mop being brought out throughout the brunch sitting (unless there’s a good reason why do this when there’s a restaurant full of people?!) - The security levels in the hotel make you constantly feel like you’re being watched. We’re clear what’s included with our day, so, why have every individual member of the family independently sign in to the outdoor pool area? No other premium hotel does this. Why search every bag going out to the pool? Again, no other premium hotel does this. Through all the security, beyond the kids club experience, again we were made to feel unwelcome, and like an inconvenience for the staff. No one at the hotel outside of the restaurant made any obvious effort to help us have a great experience - The changing rooms in the pool area are run down, and inappropriate for the customer. 4 showers but only room for two people to change? The cleaner insistent on being there mopping the floor around us while we tried to change, and leaving the door open - really poor - Despite the over-attention on security, there’s a lack of attention on safety…while there are staff drying already dry floors in the change rooms the surroundings of the pool were extremel
