The hotel is located half way from the Great Mosque and the city centre/Muttrah (shuttle service to visit the Mosque and Muttrah’s suq also available). It overlooks the Qurum beach, which is a nice view especially in the evening. The beach itself and the sea are not the best for swimming (subject to the big ocean tides, they are rather muddy and shallow). The swimming pool is nice to relax after the visits, although not very large. We have tried three restaurants (the Italian one, the buffet and the one next to the swimming pool) and they were all very good. Breakfast is good and varied. We have found the whole hotel very clean and very well kept. The body products are really good. Some rooms on the parking side can be noisy, due to the external air conditioning machines (we had the first one changed, because we are very sensitive to noise, but the new room, always on the parking side, was okay).
