This hotel is definitely not recommended. We were a group of 9 so we booked 3 rooms that sleep 3 each, however, we were surprised that the rooms only have 1 king bed and a sofa, NOT sofa bed just a normal sofa that doesn't fit a 10 years old child. The staff initially wanted to charge us the extra bed (which was also extremely small) but then after talking to the manager they didnt. So we paid for apartment rooms to be comfortable and we ended up not comfortable at all. Add to this that in 2 of the rooms the water in the bathrooms flooded so while taking a shower the entire room was covered with water. And the smell was the cherry on the top. In summary, even though i usually book in radisson blu in most of the countries, in Bahrain it is definitely not recommended. To be fair, they accepted giving us late checkout.

We needed to get away from Khobar for a couple of nights. We enjoyed the executive lounge; the ladies that work there are especially accommodating. The pool was clean and inviting. My only complaint would be that we had two beers at the Irish Pub for over $30. That is outrageous.

We loved our stay. Family friendly hotel. The staff was very polite and friendly. Our room was spacious, and clean. The only thing is that smoking is allowed everywhere in the pool area, even infront of the kids pool! I guess that is more of a cultural thing but I find it very disappointing that adults dont care about kids well-being. Other than that I would highly recommend it and we will definitely stay here again.

GROSS!!!
The hotel was a disaster, The Health Club was dirty, pest ridden and no staff. When staff were there they didnt seem to mind a man shaving his feet into the Jacuzzi. Then there was the fights at night that woke me up at 4.30am then it was not till 5am when security arrived. I would highly advise avoiding this property at all costs.
