Hotels near Bab el-Bahrain Souk, Manama

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 stayed as a family and had a very comfortable experience overall. The staff were professional, responsive, and consistently helpful throughout our stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and any requests we had were handled quickly. The facilities were well-maintained and clean. The common areas were organized, and everything we needed was available. The amenities were suitable for families, which made the stay more convenient and relaxed. Overall, the experience matched our expectations, and we would consider staying here again on a future trip.

The room was very spacious. I requested a smoking room, which was great for lighting incense. If you want a good view, definitely ask for a higher floor. Make sure to ask the front desk for toiletries, otherwise, there won't be toothbrushes or anything. The staff on the first floor were also very kind, and the restaurant on the 28th floor offered an all-you-can-eat meat feast.

This was in Juffair which is a party district, but I was on the 12th floor so luckily couldn't hear the noise from the various night clubs in the hotel. The mall next doors doesn't have much in it , but the location is pretty close to most places and convenient. I wouldn't really stay here with family, but it's perfect for a 1 night transit.

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!

The room was big and clean. With the hot weather, it’s multiple carpark was great! It’s basic that provided in the room but they responded fast to our request whenever we needed. Two downsides were the aircon was noisy, and the mattress wasn’t comfortable. Overall its value for money.

The room is excellent , nice furniture, good location, cleaning standards not the top but thire policy for visitors is bad annoying you have to pay 10 bd if have a vistor in a room even if for few minutes, massage center is very good

Oriental Palace Hotel, Manama – Central but Dated Oriental Palace Hotel in Manama is centrally located, making it convenient for travelers who want easy access to Manama Souq, nearby restaurants, shops, and main transport routes. The location is the hotel’s strongest advantage. However, despite the convenience, the rooms are very old and not clean, and the furnishings are clearly outdated. Maintenance and cleanliness do not meet acceptable standards, which significantly affects comfort. The hotel has an old-school character, but unfortunately this comes across more as neglect than charm. Staff members are polite and generally helpful, and check-in and check-out are straightforward. Service is acceptable, but it does not compensate for the condition of the rooms. Overall, while the hotel may appeal to travelers on a tight budget who prioritize location over comfort, it is important to note that hotels in Manama are generally very expensive, and for the price paid, the quality here does not offer good value. Travelers seeking cleanliness, modern facilities, or comfort may want to explore other options.

The price is good but the front desk was slow to process the check and and I was asked to pay others fees while I showed them everything was covered in payment invoice.

We stayed at Sunday Luxury Downtown Adliya on 19 July 2026, and once again, it was a wonderful experience. As regular guests, this hotel has truly become our favorite place to stay in Bahrain. Every visit is consistently enjoyable. The suite was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind. The staff are always warm, courteous, and attentive, and they consistently provide excellent service. We also love the hotel’s location, which is close to many great restaurants and cafés while still offering a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. It’s always a pleasure staying here, and that’s why we keep coming back. We highly recommend Sunday Luxury Downtown Adliya to anyone looking for a comfortable stay and exceptional hospitality in Manama.
