                  Have stayed on and off here for years. Right in the heart of Bab Al-Bahrain, close to the souq and some well known night spots. Easily commutable to Jufffair, and the City Centre Mall. The hotel maybe old, but has character,clean, and now has flat screen TVs. Large rooms, quiet, and staff extremely helpful. Price is also great

                  The cost of the room was ok. Location is convenient, not far from bus station, though it's kind of hard to find the exact building. Staff was ok too. The room is big, but that's it. No towels, AC doesn't work or remote control butteries died. TV doesn't work or remote control butteries died. I have stayed in 5th floor so there was lots of constant noises from ACs from neighbouring buildings' roofs. And the worst is that the room was filled with small cockroaches. Wouldn't recommitted to stay there.

                  Not for non-smokers”

                  One of the most disappointing experiences I've had in a long time. If you're a non-smoker I'd suggest avoiding this place. Even the rooms they claim to be non-smoking are on the smoking floor and have ashtrays - so smoking smell creeps in all the time through doors and bathroom ventilation. People smoke even in the lobby. Property is fairly outdated, for the breakfast you have to wait 20min, no buffet, just a plate with eggs and toast. Location close to bus station and souq but there's little reason to stay here - it's easy to get here anyway.

                  We were very dissappointed with the receptionist, While check in they said there is no booking confirmation. They have given several reasons: 1. They said not paid for booking 2. They said there is no booking made through Agoda and you have booked some other third party 3. They have insist us to find another hotel and get the refund from Agoda. We informed this is non refundable booking. 4. Finally after all drama they have given the rooms. We are not sure why they were behave like this manner.

                  we stayed there overnight and they have an average service. if you have a car this is not a perfect hotel for you since they dont have enough parking space. the hotel is situated in the heart of manama area so you can imagine business stalls etc there specially at night and it was eid which is a holiday so a lot of cars are parked in front and behind the hotel. we asked for assistance from the reception but they only tell us to find a spot at the back or anywhere in the vicinity. I MEAN! REALLY?!! So if you have your own car find someplace else but not here. Al jazeera hotel and Awal hotel are just beside each other so.. But if you want to roam around and you dont have a car this is the place for you. The room is clean and sanitary the bathroom is also sanitary but there are rusts but no grime or something. It is an old building so it kinda smells like one if you know what im saying. Well I hope this helps.
