Bahrain Hotels

One of the best hotel's in Bahrain!!

Advantages: big rooms, lovely stuff, good food
Disadvantages: due to high demand its a little bit over priced

...is little far out of the city centre (15 min by taxi) but the place is lovely. It has very big swimming pool, with many restaurants (like Thai food and they also have one of the only british pubs in the country). Rooms are big and always clean. The staff is always friendly and they speak good english. The aircondition works well and very quite so you can sleep well. There is the old and new tower, if you can I strongly recommend to be placed in the ...
...Gulf hotel is one of the only hotels where mainly high class European/American people stay, therefore it is a very nice enviroment for everyone who likes to live in an exclusive and luxurious hotel.! Food is very good, especially the Ramadan tent! Never going to forget the amount of good quality food I ate there! There is also the food street 5 min walk away, making it easy if you are looking for new taste of food like Sushi, Indian, Mexican ect. ...

Review of The Gulf Hotel, Manama

Little old and not on the beach, but in the city centre!

Advantages: in Mannama (city centre)
Disadvantages: old and very standard hotel, doesnt have a beach!

...(centre of city). Golden tulip has a good reputition in Middle East for keep standards good. My mother came and stayed there for couple of nights, it was a standard room for good price. If you want to go for a walk at night, I recommend this place as it is next to the golden city and not too far from the Souk (market), however taxis are very cheap so you might as well take it. Breakfast was nice and i have been there for conference dinners, which ...

Review of Golden Tulip Bahrain, Manama

Hospitality on Fantasy Island

Advantages: Good location, pleasant service, some great people
Disadvantages: Limited dining options, bland pool

...is not the most attractive Sheraton from the outside (even with fluttering eyelashes). But then, not many of the hotels in Bahrain do look very inviting from the outside. Anyway, beauty is only skin deep, isn't it; it's what's inside that matters! As your friendly Bahraini highwayman...er...rip off merchant.... er... taxi-driver turns his battered, dented, orange-and-black Caprice or Cressida into the entrance, you breath a sigh of relief that you ...
...is carpeted in the trusty Sheraton carpet. At the far end of the room, next to the window, is a small unit holding telephone directories, magazines and a kettle with tea/coffee, milk, sugar etc. The bed is a standard double; the bed clothes were a bit odd - a sheet, then an eiderdown, then topped with another sheet. So you can turn the clothes upside down? The work desk is a reasonable size and sits next to a convenient power supply and a spare ...

Review of Sheraton Hotel Bahrain

Gorgeous, tasty but not very clever.

Advantages: Beautiful style, good food
Disadvantages: Dull rooms, can be a bit slow

...The newest hotel, the Novotel Al Dana, has tried to get in on the act, built in traditional Arabesque style, with access to a beach, albeit a lagoon. ARRIVAL When we arrived it was already dark. The airport pick up that we had booked went to plan, there was a chap with a sign with my name on (Mr V. Boy... no, not really) and he led us to the car park where a minivan rolled up a minute later. Our bags, cases, pushchair, baby, all got thrown in the ...
...the baby. The Novotel is also known for La Perle, an exquisite restaurant overlooking the sea offering top notch tuck. There is also L'Alize, a more casual restaurant with live music, and Bellevue lounge bar. There is also, of course, room service. The promise to deliver in 10 to 30 minutes (huh?); the first time, we called them after 35 minutes and they apologised for a problem in the kitchen. when it came, the food was excellent. SERVICE All ...
