“Fine, once you get your bearings”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

It is a good value for the money, breakfast is certainly edible and the room was adequate. The only problem I had was getting my bearings. If you make a wrong turn when leaving the hotel, you can easily get lost in a maze of tiny streets and have the feeling that you are in some tiny backwater, however, the main roads are really quite close, just make sure you get directions before you step out of the hotel. Had I done that, my stay would have been much more pleasant.
Also, once you find the main street it is easy to get a taxi to the airport. Overall, a good value for the money.

“I would not like to stay in this hotel again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

person found this review helpful

Well if u r going to Bahrain to have some party then this is the worst place u will choose. The rate is cheap but so is the vicinity of the hotel. It is far from the good clubs or pubs. It is situated in the area of narrow streets and if we didnt had the GPS then we would not have been to reach the hotel.

There are not much options at the breakfast and the lobby and rooms are pretty ordinary. I would only advice to go to this hotel if you want to save the money...

However, the staff of the hotel is very cooperative and friendly!!!

“Excellent value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2010

Great value for money. Much cheaper than other places available on the internet. It is centrally located in Manama just near the souk. The decor is tired and it is like being in a time warp - the 1970s. Breakfast is fine.

“Awesome value for money- so friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2010

Was really unsure (18 BD) about 30quid is so cheap for B&B basis, but it was fine

Good points
Clean, firm bed, everything worked in the room and AC was super efficient,
Breakfast was simple, but Francis the chef is reallt friendly nad was so helpful
Like going into a 1970s movie - sort of OK really.
Got a great nights sleep, not interupted by mosques, noisy drunks, slamming doors or anything, road noise....... Thats worth the 18bd fee as far as I am concerned

Bad points
A bugger to find if you dont have GPS. It is behind the Yateem Centre - taxi drivers know that
Appears really old - probably because it is and it is dated
No pool, no gym etc - but for 18BD what the hell do you expect

“More than adequate for the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010

This hotel is nothing to write home about but it is a good value for money hotel. The hotel is clean, well located, serves an adequate breakfast and is cheap. The rooms are dated but clean and have all the necessary features i.e. bed, bathroom & TV. The staff were polite and efficient and there is good parking available outside the hotel. This hotel also seems to be prostitute free.

The only thing i would warn you about is that the maps for the hotel provided by the online booking agents, that i saw, are wrong. Go on google maps and try and find the Yateem Centre; it is about 1 block directly behind this.
