Oriental Palace Hotel

I only needed to stay for a few hours so couldn't experience their breakfast service which was included in the booking. Hotel was in good shape and overall clean, however, the room that was given to me smelled like someone had just smoked in the room. Even the pillow case which looked very clean had smell of a cigarette. Toilet was clean and in good condition, shower was fine too - nothing fancy though. All in all the place is good value for money as it was cheap but nothing fancy about it. Very good for back packers who are looking for a place to spend night or someone for a quick short stay before moving on. Families or couples who are looking for some pampering and luxury may not find this place attractive enough. Amenities included free tea/coffee option in the room, but there was none in the room except for an electric kettle :) which isn't a big deal for me. Free decent Wifi. Staff was nice. Easy access to public transport, I took public bus (Bus service A1) to the Airport. Located right in the middle of one of the Souq Close enough to walk to some of the high rise buildings in Bahrain, one of the biggest shopping mall The Avenues and also 5mins walk to a KFC and loads of street restaurants and cafes.

Staff are very helpful in all hotel areas. Room was clean but need renovations and some furniture need to be replaced. Roads around the hotel are narrow and require lots of attention while driving.

Good breakfast, 5 min walk to the Manama souq. Hotel room very dated. Old carpet.

Vintage *dont expect modern* in decor but overall i would definitely stay there again. I prefer safe, clean affirdable & friendly staff when i stay outside my country.

The parking was difficult and the areas were very tight
