It was a good experience. Nice clean room and very good support from Reception and Asst.Front office manager.
Was allowed an early check in and check out free of cost and Good breakfast (This can be made even better)
They gave me an upgrade to junior suite which was excellent and I required a nice sleep after a previous day bitter experience near exhibition road.
They even offer nice discounts for corporate customers. I will certainly prefer them in Bahrain in my upcoming visit.
For the price I was paying I was not expecting much. But when checking in I was upgraded to a suite. The lounge was huge with two sofas, a coffee table, desk and a TV. The bedroom was also large with a very big double bed. The price included wifi (which was not the greatest speed/coverage) which was workable AND free breakfast. The breakfast was limited in choice, but considering it was included in my rate, was perfectly acceptable.
The is NOT the Ritz-Carlton; but for £32 was perfectly acceptable. Will book again if I am overnight in Bahrain again.
I really recommend this hotel , the quality of room service is great, rooms are very spacious with good services, cleanliness is perfect. Hotel provided free shuttle service. Location is good in al adliya area nearby many types of restaurants. But at the hotel you can have a very good dinner with good prices as well, l order at hotel beef biryani for dinner it was very delicious which I recommend.

The hotel offers guests a choice of 6 different food and beverage outlets. The wide choice of international fare includes Legendz Steakhouse and Medzo the hotel’s popular Italian restaurant.
This is a beautiful hotel, the ambience is top-notch. From the front office to the rooms to the restaurants, you will feel the ambience. Everything you want in a hotel is here. Decor great, room well appointed, food delicious, staff friendly, service excellent and on and on.
The location is super convenient with both Avenues Mall and City Centre Mall just a few minutes drive away and plenty of local shops (including a very useful food mart) and Bab el Bahrain Souq/Mall within walking distance. Yaqoob came to pick us up from the airport in a very nice car and was very friendly. We had a nice chat on the way to our hotel. The hotel were very kind in arranging a car seat for our very young baby. It isn’t actually legally required in Bahrain but I had enquired beforehand if the hotel had one and they obliged.
We didn’t have the breakfast or dinner here so can’t comment as to the food. With Bab el Bahrain indoor mall around the corner, you can get traditional Bahraini breakfast which is delicious and cheap. Go to ‘Saffron’ and ‘Naseef’ as well as the infamous Haji’s Traditional Cafe!
Checking in was super easy. The room was nice. The hotel very kindly provided us with delicious chocolate cake and fruit for our anniversary. Within minutes of entering our room, the crib for our baby was brought up. We had a small issue with a flickering bulb in the room and that was replaced within 10 minutes of asking. Everything we asked of the hotel was always dealt with promptly and with no fuss at all. Housekeeping was always done to an extremely high standard.
We used the gym, pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room facilities almost everyday. These are in the Regency Health Club next door but there is an indoor walkway from the Mezzanine level and a lift which takes you up. Facilities were excellent with plenty of towels and water available. One piece of advice if you are going around the latter part of the year is that the hotel pool area loses the sun around 4pm so you need to get there quite a bit earlier if you are going to make the most of the sun.
Thank you for a great stay. I hope to return some day!
