My stay at the hotel was superb! The rooms are great and very large, providing ample space for our requirements. The service was top-notch, with very nice and helpful staff. The location is excellent, with eager and friendly staff, although there is some construction around the area. The dining experience was pleasant, with a lot of varied dishes, but could include more Indian items. The facilities were fantastic, making my stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

The hotel has a nice relaxed feel, very clean and well-organized rooms that are big and roomy, but it was extremely cold during my stay. The location offers easy access to a great shopping mall and is a short taxi ride to the city center. However, it's situated above a nightclub and requires walking on a dusty and dark path at night.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were big but felt freezing even after turning off the AC, yet they were very clean and spacious with all amenities available. The air con created a smelly atmosphere. The service was very helpful and the staff were friendly, although the unnecessary room upgrade was a downside. The location was convenient near the city center, malls, and major attractions, although the reception area could be better. The dining experience was decent, but it ended too early for me. The facilities were satisfactory.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean but felt a little old-fashioned and could use some improvements, especially with the furniture. On the bright side, the suite came with a dentistry kit, a nice touch, and a sizeable kitchen, but lacking a cooker or hot plates. The value for money was decent.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room temperature was initially a bit chilly for the first few hours, which made it somewhat uncomfortable, and there was a peculiar smell when we turned off the air conditioning. On the bright side, the room had a lovely view of the ocean and the mall. The standout was the exceptional service I received throughout, especially from Mr Austin, the manager, and all the Bahraini staff.

I stayed at this hotel, pretty alright for the most part. The rooms were nicely decorated and had all the necessary amenities, but there's this weird situation where the 'kitchen' doesn't have any way to cook. Also, the noise can go on until the wee hours, which wasn't fun. On the upside, the rooms are beautiful.
