Location is fantastic, right next to lots of shopping and Manama Souq buzzling with activities. Limited parking but valet parking available. Hotel had ample time to get our room ready as we turned up early, but went to walk around and returned much later after check-in time, but was given a smoking room when I specifically requested for a non-smoking room, and front desk didn't even ask or tell us it was a smoking room. Tried to bear with the room initially, until even the pillow was reeked with smoking smell, and upon calling the front desk did I find out that it was a smoking room. 1st response was that they were out of non-smoking rm, and when I insisted that I booked a non-smoking rm, agreed to move us an hour later. Other than this, rest of stay was ok since it was nice walking around the area.
