Bahrain Beach Bay

Pros +

• I came with my Friends to watch the Bahrainian GP which is 10 min away from hotel location with an affordable price. What I liked more is the service of the employees specially brother Aref he was so helpful, kind and answered all of our needs in no time. Definitely will come here next Year.
• We booked here because we wanted to avoid the GP traffic after the F1 racing so knew that the hotel was remote. We are familiar with this area so knew where we were going. However , if your not familiar, be careful. Its handy for the zoo, the aquapark, etc, but miles away from civilisation. You get what you pay for. This is not a resort as it advertises by any stretch of the imagination. There is a small secluded beach area which is nice and safe for the kids and the water is quite shallow for a distance. The beds were comfortable. The shower works OK, which is rare in alot of hotels these days. I haven't actually seen the photos of this place on Booking.com , but my daughter said they do not resemble the rooms we stayed in. It's basic but the rooms are clean. If you want somewhere to return to late at night and sleep on the cheap, this is the place for you. If your thinking about spending time here to enjoy a holiday by the beach forget it. The staff really try, it's not on them, but they seem to be losing the battle with this place. The guy who rakes the rubbish off the beach from the guests every morning deserves a special mention.

Cons -

• Make the bed and pillow bit comfy
• Sheets weren't changed in our room, someone else's hair on them. They did change them immediately after we brought it to staff attention. Rooms don't come more basic than this. Fridge is a good size, god knows why because you wouldn't want to eat or spend any length of time here. Rubbish everywhere outside, in the car park, the external areas, the beach, in the sea. The residents of this hotel have zero consideration. We didn't bother with breakfast, to be fair, it didn't look like the kind of place you would want to sit down to eat. Noisy, there's a constant whining and a rumbling noise which makes you think youd got tinnitus if you didn't know any better. I woke to hear people stood in the corridor (which resembles a dormitory atmosphere) late at night/early hours, being very loud with no consideration for others. Lsst night I was woken by someone mopping the corridor at 12.30 a.m for about 10 minutes for no reason. Our door frame lock was damaged, the lock worked fine but it looked like the door had been forced open in the past which unnerved my daughters. It was possibly a nice hotel once upon a time but has seriously been let go since whenever that was.
