“A wonderful place in the heart of Bahrain”

What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the sea! We stayed at the Novotel with a half-board package, and it was totally worth it. The food served at Zytoun was delicious, with options for everyone’s taste. Thank you, Mya, for the pleasant experience!

“Unique looking Novotel”

Just come back from a three night stay at the Novotel Bahrain. We’re a family of four (kids 1 and 3). First thing is like so many hotels why are there so so many 1st time reviews with weird names?

Just come back from a three night stay at the Novotel Bahrain. We’re a family of four (kids 1 and 3). First thing is like so many hotels why are there so so many 1st time reviews with weird names? It just makes it hard to get a true tripadvisor feel for the place and I always discount those reviews. That aside, the hotel is quite remote but is a lovely little mini resort. If you’ve ever stayed at a Novotel before this looks nothing like any other Novotel. The room was a one bed suite which was ok but pretty tired furniture. I’m over 6 foot and the bathroom was tiny, and I had to crouch to have a shower. But the room was clean. We did notice a beach club next door so if you want a quiet stay ask for the other side. We ate at the main buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner and we found the food to be pretty decent with a good selection. The staff were excellent and helpful throughout the whole trip. The beach and pool areas were nice and really well maintained. There was a small but well equipped children’s indoor playroom but no kids club. I used the gym once, and I found it really basic,with no towels. It was also way too hot to run on the treadmill. Top tip, go to a supermarket before you arrive as there are no shops in walking distance. Malls are about 15 min drive. All in all a pretty good stay in a resort that looks nothing like a typical business Novotel.

The Novotel Al Danu hotel has the potential to be a top-notch hotel, but unfortunately, it is not. The beginning and arrival were fantastic, an older gentleman gave us a room right by the beach with a superb view. American marines are staying at the hotel, otherwise, the hotel is empty, the beach is deserted, the loungers are empty. The beach is excellent, and the sea is right there, which is a big advantage for the hotel. We had a half-board service, which is rare. The room is large and spacious, which is a plus. What I liked the least was the staff in the Zeytoun restaurant, who were rude, cold, and uninterested. The breakfast was repetitive and monotonous, and for dinner, since no one dines, we had to choose between two dishes. The hotel is heavily advertised on social media, but it’s always empty, and Bahrainis come over during the day to swim or dine at the restaurant. Otherwise, everything is empty. Sometimes disco parties are organized, giving the hotel a different vibe. The reception staff, especially a receptionist from the Far East, was completely unfamiliar with the city of Manama and generally uninformed. During our stay, the air conditioning unit leaked, and the cleaning staff only cleaned the room around 5 p.m., which is unacceptable, and we had to ask the reception twice to clean the room. The advantages of the hotel are that it is directly on the beach, and the rooms are spacious. the downside of the hotel is the staff, especially in the restaurants, and the food is average. special greeting for male staff at the reception and for Sadik, he is he is very polite and great worker.
