I work in Kuwait and we've been given a few days off after Ramadan with very short notice. It was imposible to get a plane ticket to Lebanon so I choose Baharain. A coworker recommended me this "hotel". Short trip from the airport, excellent location, Gold City across the street, 3 minutes driving distance to major shopping malls, and that is it.
My room was dark, not really clean, the AC was not working properly just blowing air most of the time. I think they have never heard about a vacuum, that the way the carpets look like.
Even with the "Do this room now" sign on my door, they never made my room before 4 PM, so I had to take care of my bed to take a nap. The minibar has not been replenished in 3 days, the TV was terrible, I noticed a glass left over the floor next door when I arrived, and the glass was still there when I left.
Breakfast was just OK, but if ask for a coffee they will bring a cup but not a spoon, sugar comes 10 minutes later, only two small pitchers of water for the whole restaurant, people smokes at their will. The ladies at the front desk are nice and they speak good English, but at the restaurant,,,, If they don't understand they will just look at you and say: "OK, OK, sir" On the other side, The ladies at the front desk are nice and they speak good English, but at the restaurant,,,, If they don't understand they will just look at you and say: "OK, OK, sir" On the other side, you can eat their hummus by pounds, it is delicious.
Finally, the prostitutes. You can find them all around the hotel, but I have not been disturbed by them. Maybe the hotel has changed some rules. No one called my door, so I slept peacyfully. Overpriced, dirty, full of chinese prostitutes, outdated,very poor service!!!!! I guess there are no free lunches in Manama. Delmon seems to be an old classic in town. Right next to Bab Bahrain. Everybody knows it and when you get there you know why. It has been there since quite a while and both exterior and interior show that.
