    It is more like a suggestion rather than negative feedback . I wish if the restaurant had a variety of food options . However, the food was tasty, and the service was fast .

    Welcoming of the staff and cooperation, , valet parking service was fast, and cleanliness of the room as well as the location was convenient for me and near to the places I usually visit

    A luxurious bolthole in the centre of Manama
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Urban Plus Suite
    • Stayed 7 nights

    This is a truly exceptional hotel located in the heart of central Manama with shopping malls, the souq and the waterfront all close at hand. It's so good that I ensured I stayed here again on my second visit to Bahrain. The staff go above and beyond guests' expectations - nothing is too much trouble. The peaceful hotel lobby and mezzanine library are immaculately kept with great art to view and luxurious, stylish furnishings. The rooftop Indigo restaurant serves food from breakfast until late...and it's only a few steps away from the pool which boasts great views on the Manama skyline. All the suites are generously sized and include an ice maker, fridge and a microwave. Led by the ever attentive but never intrusive general manager Riccardo Cocco, this is a perfect five star luxury choice for business or leisure.

    This was our third visit to The Merchant House, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. The hotel’s ambience is truly unique—stylish, calm, and welcoming. The staff consistently provide warm and professional service, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrive. We always enjoy dining at the hotel restaurant, and during this stay, we had the chance to try the spinach pancake at breakfast—it was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. A special mention to Camala, who served us with genuine warmth and attentiveness. She made our morning even more pleasant. Looking forward to our next visit!
