The Arman Hotel is very conveniently located near shops, cafes, exchangers (two streets away, in the Lulu store they change only for residents) and the al-Fatiha Mosque. And if you decide to take the bus, then the bus stop is also nearby. The staff at the hotel is English-speaking and very friendly. The room was cleaned daily, the water was replenished - 4 bottles for two, tea bags, coffee. We took breakfast: there is not much variety, but everyone will find something for themselves and will not stay hungry. The room is charged a tax for accommodation: you can pay both in dollars and in local currency. We paid the next day after checking in, and were asked to print out the payment document in order to avoid misunderstandings.On the downside: We could hear the music from the disco on the 11th floor, but it didn't bother us, the hairdryer in the bathroom was very weak.
NICE HOTEL NEAR THE SHOPPING CENTER
The three of us had a vacation (the child is 3 years old) in January 2019. We bought a "burning tour" at a very attractive price. The room is large (with one huge bed), they asked for a high floor (they gave the last one- the 13th floor). The room is clean, but on the first day they "nailed" one cockroach in the bathroom (they didn't see it anymore).
We had breakfasts and dinners. The food was monotonous, but a lot, we didn't stay hungry. They also found something to eat for the child. The juice is good, it was poured from boxes.
A daily shuttle service to Marassi Beach was organized from the hotel (for us, travel and admission were free). Moreover, there were 2 minibuses (at 9.30 and 10.30, back at 14.30 and 15.30. Having agreed with the driver, they left earlier).
Not far from the Arman Hotel there is another "beach" - Coral Beach. We reached it on foot, but the desire to swim immediately disappeared. Why? One of our YouTube videos has an overview of this beach.
On the roof of the hotel there is a swimming pool (but without heating), a sauna (it was turned off, but we did not ask for it), a gym.
There was a disco on the second and third floors, it didn't bother us.
There is a regular bus #41 from the hotel (stop nearby) to the Center of Manama. The ticket costs about 55 rubles, and in 25 minutes you can get to the World Trade Center Bahrain building. But you have to wait for the bus for 20-40 minutes.
We liked our stay at this hotel!
