Hotels near Al Ghalia, Manama

This hotel is very new, the room is super big, it is newly renovated! There is a bar downstairs, many beautiful young ladies, decoration is OK, facilities are new, the room is really big, the bed of tatami, I feel pretty good

Very quiet hotel, automatic room upgrade is considerate, and the view is very good

Excellent spotless Ibis in a good area. The lady at the reception Nawrez I believe her name was exceptional. Recognition of Accor status. Great clean rooms and great location. I will definitely stay again and I highly reccomend. It is not far from the airport either.

Valet parking is now for charge !! Which is a surprising. This is a high class luxurious Five star hotel which should provide these default services with no charges. Otherwise it would be the same as the lower class hotels !

Very cosy and big rooms, well-designed. Small, but nice swimming pool on the top floor. Some large trade malls are nearby. But the location of the hotel is generally better for travelling by car. There is no free shuttle bus transfer to beaches, unfortunately. And very noisy highway just outside.

The location is a bit far from the city center as it is a Seef area, but it is very close to the Seef Mall. The restaurants and malls I often go to are far away. We were housekeeping at the time of our visit and waited to check in at 20:30. Just cleaned, but the floor was wet and the bathroom tiles were broken. However, the space was pleasant, the service was good, and the stay was relaxed.

Great hotel with nice facilities and services. Minutes away from airport, you can literally walk to airport and it takes 5 minutes. Amazing spa! I tried hammam for the first time and loved it. Massage and facial were great too. My massage therapist Jerryl was amazing! Wonderful massage and very pleasant and friendly. Highly recommend!

We were at the Art hotel for a brunch and pool day, rather than to stay. We were excited to visit the hotel which gets great reviews, and it’s often hard to separate the reviews for staying at a hotel, with those for simply dining or using the facilities. Our expectations were high, we were left very disappointed. Here’s why; - first, before the bad, let’s quickly cover the good…the buffet brunch in Choices looks good and probably half of the brunch on offer is above average for the food typically available at these mass events. The fish, sushi, cooked meats and dim sum were all good. The food is better than most brunches - Now the bad…first, one of the reasons for attending a brunch at these big family resort hotels is the benefit of the access that comes with the brunch-pool, beach and critically kids club. We checked these facilities were included when we booked the day before the brunch, however when we arrived with our 5-year-old and asked where we’d find the kids club, we were informed that the rules had changed (in 24 hours?) and it was no longer included. For us this is a big problem, our son can’t sit a watch people eat for 3 hours, and loves a kids club. Ultimately, we were given access, however this involved several “approval” phone calls, and rather than guests prioritized to have a great time, we were left feeling like we were taking advantage, cheating them, and somehow doing something wrong. If it’s not included, tell us when we book, we won’t book, no problem. Don’t make your guests feel like this - Many things in the restaurant area diminish the dining experience…the room overall is pretty devoid of atmosphere, but the main issue is an unpleasant lingering smell in various areas…having been there through brunch we concluded it was the cleaning materials and stinky mop being brought out throughout the brunch sitting (unless there’s a good reason why do this when there’s a restaurant full of people?!) - The security levels in the hotel make you constantly feel like you’re being watched. We’re clear what’s included with our day, so, why have every individual member of the family independently sign in to the outdoor pool area? No other premium hotel does this. Why search every bag going out to the pool? Again, no other premium hotel does this. Through all the security, beyond the kids club experience, again we were made to feel unwelcome, and like an inconvenience for the staff. No one at the hotel outside of the restaurant made any obvious effort to help us have a great experience - The changing rooms in the pool area are run down, and inappropriate for the customer. 4 showers but only room for two people to change? The cleaner insistent on being there mopping the floor around us while we tried to change, and leaving the door open - really poor - Despite the over-attention on security, there’s a lack of attention on safety…while there are staff drying already dry floors in the change rooms the surroundings of the pool were extremel
