I stayed for one night with my family on Thu-Friday weekly off. The hotel location is very prime, in centre of city and market place, Manama market and gold market is very adjuscent to the hotel, no problems of taxi service, staff very co-operative and non-greedy, clean hotel , Musical night's noise is under control, Food was good for indian, and asian taste, for westener better order your food in advance to get good service, No distaurbance from hookers and drunk guys at all. Can be recommended for short and economical stay with family and batchlors. All the facilities for boozing is available for batchlors who would like to enjoy weekends or short stay. City center is close to hotel and very affordable by taxi. Check the price with 2-3 drivers for the taxis before hiring it. Taxi stand is just besides hotel, very good quality food restuarants are available besides the hotel, so one can get thier own taste just besides the hotel building. Thai hotels, asian taste, Indian food, Arebic food is available is near surroundings. Thai Massage centers are available , though I haven't tried any of them. So have a nice stay in Bahrain.
