Lovely artsy stay

Really love the vibe of this hotel. Refreshing design and interior amongst the standard colorless hotels that are dominating todays world. I especially liked the little library zones, the rooftop bar and restraurant, and the art all around the hotel. The windows in my room didnt have any view to outside or any sun coming in, but it didnt bother me too much as the room was very big.

Don't stay here unless u want to be spoilt rotten!

I can't begin to describe the level of attentiveness the staff at The Merchant House bestowed upon me during my stay there. Kudos to the housekeeping supervisor Jalapathi and the FOH crew at reception (especially Ahmed) for their customer service skills and to Veeranan at the spa. I'm so glad I booked this hotel. :) x

A beautiful pearl in a sea of cookie-cutter box hotels. The hotel is filled with wonderful modern art works coupled with black/white photography of old Bahrain. A slight disappointment is that the fabulously insta rooftop restaurant doesn't offer any flavours of Arabia. The access to the pool with just 2 loungers is a little strange. Someone was already sunbathing when I visited and as I didn't feel comfortable having to lie next to them on the only other available bed in such a small space - I left.

Overall we had a very comfortable stay at this hotel and had a very good dinner in the hotel restaurant. Breakfast was also very good. One negative point was despite having the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on, room service staff entered the room whilst my wife was in the shower just to place a welcome note and fruit bowl for the next guest. This is totally unacceptable and not what I would expect from such a reputable hotel
