Exceptional”
The location is perfect, the staff is helpful and prompt works anytime. Breakfast is simple but enough (not buffet style, but we can eat freshly cooked eggs, sausage, and bread. Good cost performance. And the room is big with a balcony.

Great budget hotel in the heart of Manama”
I stayed 3 days at Awal Hotel. The staff was very efficient, room was big and clean, wifi & AC worked perfect. The hotel was conveniently located in the heart of Manama, few minutes walking distance from the bus terminal.

The hotel was well maintained (no broken tiles)”
For a budget hotel I was amazed at the level of maintenance and cleanliness. Firm king sized bed and air-con that worked and was quiet. Well worth the cost. Quiet safe area of Manama (city center). Good taxi service and airport shuttle.

Hotel closing”
Unfortunately, I understand the Awal Hotel is closing on 31 March 2018. That is a great loss for all of us. They deservedly have the highest ratings because of their dedicated staff and management. Any new company may or may not reach these standards.

AVERAGE TYPICAL MOTEL ”
we stayed there overnight and they have an average service. if you have a car this is not a perfect hotel for you since they dont have enough parking space. the hotel is situated in the heart of manama area so you can imagine business stalls etc there specially at night and it was eid which is a holiday so a lot of cars are parked in front and behind the hotel. we asked for assistance from the reception but they only tell us to find a spot at the back or anywhere in the vicinity. I MEAN! REALLY?!! So if you have your own car find someplace else but not here. Al jazeera hotel and Awal hotel are just beside each other so.. But if you want to roam around and you dont have a car this is the place for you. The room is clean and sanitary the bathroom is also sanitary but there are rusts but no grime or something. It is an old building so it kinda smells like one if you know what im saying. Well I hope this helps.

Good loation”
Near Bab Al Bahrain, it is centrally located in Manama City Center. A lot of store, restaurants and a major bus station are nearby. Not a bad place to stay for the price.

Still value for money in a great location”
Have stayed on and off here for years. Right in the heart of Bab Al-Bahrain, close to the souq and some well known night spots. Easily commutable to Jufffair, and the City Centre Mall. The hotel maybe old, but has character,clean, and now has flat screen TVs. Large rooms, quiet, and staff extremely helpful. Price is also great

Conveniently located, but dark and depressing”
Although the Awal Hotel is clean and located in a busy and interesting area in the Souq, the furnishings and style of room were outdated. It felt old and dark like a cave. Not the kind of place to go for anything else, but to sleep. Of course, for an expensive city like Manama, the price was decent, but that's it.

Great value! Very clean, comfortable.”
This is an excellent hotel for a short or long stay. There were not a lot of amenities, but everything you needed for a comfortable stay was there. Free parking, and right in the middle of the old souq area. The only thing that was not great was the water pressure in the shower. We will definitely use the Awal again; with the money we save we can go out to a five-start restaurant and shop!
