Manama Hotels with Bars

An excellent new hotel that exceeded my expectations. Although the lobby is quite small, the room itself is incredibly spacious with expansive views. The high ceilings and large windows offer a fantastic perspective of Bahrain's famous landmarks. The bedding was superb, and the service was top-notch. While the sushi bar for dinner was a bit pricey, the food was absolutely delicious.

We enjoyed our stay at the Intercontinental Bahrain. The location was perfect for us with the Manama Souk and Bahrain Harbour area nearby. There were many good restaurants on site and nearby. It was also close to lots of cafes and shops. In the near future there will also be a metro station nearby. Check in at the hotel was smooth. We were even able to add on a breakfast for our last day and make adjustments to our reservation request in person. We rented a car and the valet service was very good during our stay. We booked a king bed room and it was nicely appointed. They had a couple of nice chairs, large TV, coffee/tea station, mini fridge with bar and a table side console that controlled the lights and temperature throughout the room. The TV had screen mirroring and Bluetooth features that were easy to connect to. Our room had a large fruit platter which had perfectly ripe fruit and we were delivered 3 small chocolate platters during our stay because of Eid celebrations. The pillows were a little soft for us but they have a pillow menu that we utilized. Our room was very quiet for most of our stay but our neighbours above and beside were unexpectedly loud the last night and we had to call for assistance a couple times. The bathroom had very nice products including lotion, body wash, conditioner and shampoo. The shower was nice too but when using the rain head we found the water leaked out very easily and made the floor wet. There was a speaker in the bathroom but we could not figure out how to connect to it. The pool area was awesome and relaxing on the rooftop of the Regency tower. The hotel had two pools but the one on the mezzanine level by the restaurants was closed during our stay due to Ramadan celebrations that had just finished. The pool had lots of different day bed options, large towels and some very good cocktails including one of the best Pina coladas I've had in the middle east. The wifi was good throughout the hotel but it was a bit spotty in the corners at the pool. The change room had lots of lockers and large shower stalls that had the same nice products from the hotel bathrooms. They have a large health club/gym in this area too and a racquetball court. Manama is a foodie paradise and there are many top notch restaurants around so we opted to eat offsite for most of the days. We did try the breakfast on our last day and we paid 12.5 BHD per person. There is a good spread including pastries, cheese, eggs to order (including a very good shakshuka), western breakfast items, three kinds of bacon (including pork), pork sausage to order and a good honey selection. The best part of breakfast was the fresh juice. They offered us late check out which we appreciated and it was easy to check out at the counter but the valet service was very busy just after 1 pm and the traffic made it difficult to get out and to the airport in the rental. We spent maybe an extra 10 minutes to get out but every other day we had zero issues using the valet and roads nearby. The stay at the Intercontinental was very relaxing and we felt refreshed for each day exploring Bahrain. We would recommend this hotel to friends and family visiting Bahrain.

The bed is not comfortable and sunken. There is no elevator at the reception lobby to our bedroom located at the ground floor.  The service is not up to the expectation, toothbrush and slippers only provided for one person despite we booked for 2 persons. When I requested for my one more slippers,  the guy from housekeeping literally opened our bedroom door to deliver the slippers while we were in the room . That was very rude and unacceptable. He should have knocked on our door wait for me to open the door rather than coming in to our room without permission.

Check-in was very smooth, no additional charges were provided, and a baby cot was provided. The address is good and there is parking 🅿. The hotel was very quiet when checking in, and the view outside the window was good. The facilities in the room were quite satisfactory. The bathroom is a bathtub + shower, and the half glass of the bathtub is fixed. When taking a bath, you need to stand in the bathtub (under the shower head) to turn on the faucet, so be careful not to get splashed by water. There are no slippers in the room (I was barefoot at the time, so I didn't ask the front desk for them). Overall good!

It was one of the worst experience I have ever had what is your reservation? Was two nights. The first night water was leaking. I couldn’t sleep because of the dripping water sound and they change my room okay next day the leaking was from the toilet upstairs to my toilet it’s disgusting when I talk with them They offer me another room extra bigger room. I don’t care. It’s about disgusting stuff. I use the public toilet and I slipped that tonight in my room. It’s not pleasant tonight. It wasn’t pleasant weekend and even the balcony was fully of dove or bird ****  

Excellent overall but honestly the big issue was WiFi. I could not do a single bit of work, could not watch Netflix without it buffering, could not conduct online meetings. If you plan to not use any internet at all then this is the place to go. I was on floor 4 so maybe request a floor closer to wherever the router is.

This hotel is centrally located at Juffair and is a good for business travellers.The room was large enough and the amenities were good.The restaurant was good serving all kinds of cuisines and the morning breakfast was a mix of western and Arabic. The construction work on the approach road makes the access to the hotel a bit difficult.You may not be able to walk out from the hotel due to this construction.Overall a good hotel and would return if i ever visit Bahrain again.

Only good thing is location. I booked a bigger room but I was sent to a smaller room stating that this room is less noisy and the actual room, I booked, is noisy due to party or DJ going on on ground floor. I believe it was highly unprofessional. Breakfast was a scam as well. No buffet.

Very clean, but the service is not particularly good

The location of the hotel is good. Although the rooms are in need of refurbishment, they are very large, the stay was comfortable. The staff is very polite! When you check in, you will be escorted to your room and will be helped to bring your things, which is very nice. There is a pool and spa.
