Wonderful

Club level had good food and friendly staff. Rooms are needing a refresh and the entertainment options on the TV's in the rooms were badly lacking. Gym was good. Check in was easy.
When you pay for a Club Room you do get a top floor room however their bar is on floor 25 and very loud until 2am every night. So you pay more for a room you are unable to rest in. Once you get moved far enough away from the floor your stay will be amazing. Great brunch, quiet pool, clean facility.
Our stay at Downtown Rotana was wonderful. The hotel is perfectly located right next to the souk, giving you an immediate taste of local life, culture, and energy. You can step outside and be surrounded by shops, local eateries, and the everyday hustle and bustle of Manama—yet the hotel itself remains calm, clean, and comfortable inside.
The food options were excellent, and the staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. We loved that the property felt modern and upscale without being disconnected from the authentic Bahrain experience happening just outside its doors.
If you’re looking for a hotel that blends comfort with proximity to local culture, Downtown Rotana is an ideal choice. Highly recommend.
The best hotel experience of my entire 4-week trip! Staff was consistently kind, punctual and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Manama and will recommend the Downtown Rotana to other travelers. Very pleased!
Nice hotel in a great location with fantastic view of downtown Manama. Friendly and helpful staff.
Only one point for improvement/observation: more thorough daily cleaning of the room should be done.
This hotel is in an excellent location, just near the shopping areas and gold souk. It has food options as well as mini supermarket. It is a very safe and bustling area and there are lots of things to do. The hotel itself is lovely, clean and modern. The room was spacious and had all facilities as expected. Only issue I noted was that the shower door requires a better seal on the bottom of the door so that water does not seep out into the main bathroom floor when having a shower.
Excellent location. Excellent room service. Iconic building. Fitness centre fantastic. Muhammed in fitness centre was very nice and well spoken in English. Manager Daryl was very helpful. Help us with early check in in minutes. Requested higher floor. Changed in minutes. Definitely will be back.
I recently stayed at this hotel with my family. Overall, I had a good experience. The check in process was superfast. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. However, I was disappointed with the in room dining service.
I found coir rope in my tabouleh which I believe is used to tie the parsley leaves. It was clear that the food was not prepared according to the hygiene standards.
This made me question the cleanliness of the kitchen and the hygiene standards of the hotel.
When I brought this to the attention of the staff, they were quick to apologize and offered to replace the food. However, I had lost my appetite by then and decided not to eat anything else from the in room dining menu.
In conclusion, while my overall stay was good, the in room dining service was a disappointment. I hope the hotel takes note of these issues and makes improvements in their food quality and cleanliness standards. I would still recommend this hotel for its other positive aspects, but I would advise future guests to avoid the in room dining service.
