Oriental Palace Hotel in Manama

Beautiful, I wish I could have stayed longer to fully appreciate it!

Super centrally located! But you have to come early for breakfast to still have a good selection.

Oriental Palace Hotel, Manama – Central but Dated

Oriental Palace Hotel in Manama is centrally located, making it convenient for travelers who want easy access to Manama Souq, nearby restaurants, shops, and main transport routes. The location is the hotel’s strongest advantage.

However, despite the convenience, the rooms are very old and not clean, and the furnishings are clearly outdated. Maintenance and cleanliness do not meet acceptable standards, which significantly affects comfort. The hotel has an old-school character, but unfortunately this comes across more as neglect than charm.

Staff members are polite and generally helpful, and check-in and check-out are straightforward. Service is acceptable, but it does not compensate for the condition of the rooms.

Overall, while the hotel may appeal to travelers on a tight budget who prioritize location over comfort, it is important to note that hotels in Manama are generally very expensive, and for the price paid, the quality here does not offer good value. Travelers seeking cleanliness, modern facilities, or comfort may want to explore other options.

The hotel is quite old, needs refurbishment immediately.
Room was good, large, clean, but the furniture outdated, complete rundown.
Location: superb. Walking distance to bab al bahrain, local markets and shopping areas as well the main road across the hotel. Lots of hotels, restaurants and super markets around.
Safe for families as well.
Breakfast was adequate and the person handling breakfast was co operative and efficient.
Overall a very good except for the old , outdated furniture.

When entering Bahrain, you need a hotel reservation even for a one-day stay. This hotel is highly recommended because you can check in quite early, and they told me that checking out in the middle of the night wouldn't be an issue. I booked on the same day for about 40 USD, and it was great to rest and take a shower, so I think it offers good value for money.

Overall a good experience. It was worth the money. Customer service was generally accessible. Well located

Very nice room, clean and the breakfast was very nice. The reception helped me with where to eat as well.
