This was actually a nice experience. Hotel was clean, bedroom a very good size for two people. The location in Manama centre was extremely practical to get to the Souq and to get taxis from. Reception and staff were very friendly, and enjoyed the fact that they could organise transport to/from the airport for you in their hotel van. 2... More

Hotel Awal is located in the center of everything that I needed, for a very small fee I was picked-up from the airport and did not have to worry about taxi cabs. I was so impressed by the hotel's employees and management, the hotel is very clean and located near everything that anyone could need, this is a family oriented... More

I've been visiting Bahrain twice annually for the last three years. Each visit is an overnight visit and as such has been at the Awal Hotel. Firstly, the location is strategic. A round-trip walk from the hotel to my place of business is 40 minutes. Also, there are stores and restaurants EVERYWHERE to satisfy even the most difficult shopper and/or... More

Great location in the heart of souq (Market place). A lot of places to eat national or indian food as well as McDonalds and Burger King in 10 minutes walk. 3 minutes walk from the Gates of Bahrein, 30 minutes walk to National Museum and Theatre. Excellent price. Sly staff on reception. Trying to get money for everything.

This hotel is quite inexpensive. I paid just 17 Bahrain dollars per night for a single person in a twin bed room. For that price, one cannot expect much, but even so, I'd like to be able to mix some cold water into the scalding hot water in the shower. I'd also like the morning airport transfer to show up...

In a city where Western style and rated hotels command a high price, Awal Hotel is an affordable option if you do not have as difficult a time as I did finding it. Located in an area with tons of one way streets and narrow alleys, Awal Hotel can be a huge challenge to find on your own. Your best... More

Had rented a car from the airport and drove here. It took us a WHILE to locate it-to say the least. The hotel staff whom we called up for directions was new and he didnt know the roads. And after about an hour of random driving and a few wrong destinations we had lost all trust in the GPS. Later... More
