This hotel was excellent from the moment I arrived and was immediately greeted by name. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My room was large and comfortable. There was a welcome gift and complimentary apples and water. The bathroom had a sleek, modern feel, and great water pressure. The bed was comfortable, I slept great. Nice in-room work space. The entire property feels new. Breakfast was excellent. WiFi worked great. Nice little gym. Pool looked inviting, but it wasn't warm enough to swim during my visit. The hotel is attached to a bar and a fancy restaurant--there's a 24 hour donut place too just off the parking lot. There are two eating areas within walking distance, one about 15 minutes away (on foot), the other much closer to the south of the hotel. I very much enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to stay here again on any trip to Bahrain. Note: to find the hotel in a car, head south on the Al-Fatih Highway toward Mina Salman. Just after a one-way intersection where a right turn is prevented, take the next right. Veer right and head straight up the road. The hotel is immediately on your right just past the first big intersection.
