Hotels Near Abu Bakr Alseddiq Mosque in Manama

Old hotel, small room, no breakfast, not recommended

Very quiet hotel, automatic room upgrade is considerate, and the view is very good

I always stay at intercontinental hotel, their service is wonderful and the location of the hotel near albahrain gate i can get there by walking and the swimming pool is great for family, i reslly recommend staying there it’s my first option.

On 9th of October 2022 at around 15:00hrs. I went to visit a friend who is checked-in on one of their rooms help me fix something with my musical instrument. No greetings not even a pleasant welcoming but instead there’s one security personnel in a light blue security uniform who will stare at you fiercely which is very rude gesture. The room is booked for 2 Pax. This rude staring security personnel stopped me and asked for an ID (again no greetings at all) I went to the reception and handed over my ID for verification which is I believe is an Hotel Policy Standard and I understand since I’ve had worked for almost all of the 5-Star Luxury Hotels & Resorts here in Bahrain then suddenly things went confusing. The staff on the reception which I handed over my ID told me the room is booked for 2 person/pax, I said okay and he told me to pay for the sum of Twelve Bahraini Dinars (BHD 12) then I asked “for what should I pay for 12 BHD?” Then the receptionist replied “Yes, for visit you have to pay BHD 12” and I was shocked! I told him this is the very first time that I encountered such thing! I worked in Four Seasons, The Ritz, Sofitel, but I never encountered charging a visitor just to visit a friend. But the receptionist has a good follow up answer, He said “those are expensive hotel nohh? We are cheap hotel that’s why we are charging visitor for it” and I was like, “Wallah… Bravo” They let me proceed but in one condition to stay only for 5 minutes. And yes after 5 minutes they called the room and went to the room with a security and a Arab speaking/looking guy wearing plain black t-shirt and regular jeans. Though I have their names, I decided not to name them. Just depend their on duty timing of 15:00 onwards.

This hotel is very new, the room is super big, it is newly renovated! There is a bar downstairs, many beautiful young ladies, decoration is OK, facilities are new, the room is really big, the bed of tatami, I feel pretty good

Посещали этот отель 1 апреля 2019 г. Отель скромный, но интересный. Были по системе завтрак-ужин. На мой взгляд, это именно то, что к нему подходит. Поскольку, до моря они везут на автобусах с 9 часов и забирают в 13.00 (вроде). То есть обед будет впролёте. К тому же мы сами ездили на экскурсии по городу, поскольку Гид предлагал за бешенные цены. Точнее экскурсии мы не брали, а смотркли в инете где и что, и ехали на автобусах. Еда после Турции ну ооооочень скромная, выбор блюд небольшой, но и отдых бюджетный, это надо понимать. Голодным не останетесь. К этому притензий нет! Номера небольшие, но в своём, восточном стиле, очень красиво! Кондёр работает, но мы долго не могли разобраться в управлении. На ресепшн русскоговорящая девушка, всё культурно и мило. Когда мы прилетели, мы рухнули спать. Перелёт тяжёлый, конечно. Проснулись лишь под вечер и была песчанная буря, небольшая. Очень интересно. Под утро - как ничего не бывало. Бвхрейн небольшой остров, а Манама тем более, но люди, конечно, очень приветственные. Особенно индусы. Помогут, подскажут, расскажут. Дошли пешком до НАТОвской базы, всемирного торгового центра, рынка, Калат аль Бахрейн (посещение бесплатно) и по улочкам прошлись. Рядом со зданием торговый центр. Мы покупали там сыр из Австралии, он был волшебный, до сих пор ничего сравниться не может с ним. Бахрейн портовый остров, там ничего их, местного вроде как и нет, однако со всего мира в торговых центрах, чего только нет.. глаза разбегаются. Итог: отель -4 (там разрешается курить, и дым по коридорам гуляет. Также там клуб на 2 вроде этаже, поэтому немного шумно, но у нас номер был в другой стороне), Еда - 3+++, сервис 5, экскурсии +/-

Great hotel with nice facilities and services. Minutes away from airport, you can literally walk to airport and it takes 5 minutes. Amazing spa! I tried hammam for the first time and loved it. Massage and facial were great too. My massage therapist Jerryl was amazing! Wonderful massage and very pleasant and friendly. Highly recommend!

Very cosy and big rooms, well-designed. Small, but nice swimming pool on the top floor. Some large trade malls are nearby. But the location of the hotel is generally better for travelling by car. There is no free shuttle bus transfer to beaches, unfortunately. And very noisy highway just outside.

We were at the Art hotel for a brunch and pool day, rather than to stay. We were excited to visit the hotel which gets great reviews, and it’s often hard to separate the reviews for staying at a hotel, with those for simply dining or using the facilities. Our expectations were high, we were left very disappointed. Here’s why; - first, before the bad, let’s quickly cover the good…the buffet brunch in Choices looks good and probably half of the brunch on offer is above average for the food typically available at these mass events. The fish, sushi, cooked meats and dim sum were all good. The food is better than most brunches - Now the bad…first, one of the reasons for attending a brunch at these big family resort hotels is the benefit of the access that comes with the brunch-pool, beach and critically kids club. We checked these facilities were included when we booked the day before the brunch, however when we arrived with our 5-year-old and asked where we’d find the kids club, we were informed that the rules had changed (in 24 hours?) and it was no longer included. For us this is a big problem, our son can’t sit a watch people eat for 3 hours, and loves a kids club. Ultimately, we were given access, however this involved several “approval” phone calls, and rather than guests prioritized to have a great time, we were left feeling like we were taking advantage, cheating them, and somehow doing something wrong. If it’s not included, tell us when we book, we won’t book, no problem. Don’t make your guests feel like this - Many things in the restaurant area diminish the dining experience…the room overall is pretty devoid of atmosphere, but the main issue is an unpleasant lingering smell in various areas…having been there through brunch we concluded it was the cleaning materials and stinky mop being brought out throughout the brunch sitting (unless there’s a good reason why do this when there’s a restaurant full of people?!) - The security levels in the hotel make you constantly feel like you’re being watched. We’re clear what’s included with our day, so, why have every individual member of the family independently sign in to the outdoor pool area? No other premium hotel does this. Why search every bag going out to the pool? Again, no other premium hotel does this. Through all the security, beyond the kids club experience, again we were made to feel unwelcome, and like an inconvenience for the staff. No one at the hotel outside of the restaurant made any obvious effort to help us have a great experience - The changing rooms in the pool area are run down, and inappropriate for the customer. 4 showers but only room for two people to change? The cleaner insistent on being there mopping the floor around us while we tried to change, and leaving the door open - really poor - Despite the over-attention on security, there’s a lack of attention on safety…while there are staff drying already dry floors in the change rooms the surroundings of the pool were extremel
