Stayed at this hotel for a few nights late Jan, 2011. The location is ok, close to a couple shopping centers, but not suitable for walking around and exploring the city. The rooms are pretty spacious and have very functional kitchenettes with fridge, microwave, etc. Bathrooms are HUGE and very clean. The dinner buffet is ok, but the breakfast is really good (had the best scrambled eggs at the eggs station, not the buffet counter). Staff were very friendly and eager to help (people are generally quite friendly in Bahrain!).
My only gripe is the internet. They have a 'business' center, which is basically three computers outside the restaurant and no printer. It's expensive and really slow, on a good day, it takes about 5 minutes to open a page, literally. I gave up on it twice and didn't get a refund.
I would recommend this hotel, but i personally would want to try another hotel next time i'm in Bahrain.
