Monroe Hotel & Suites

I did not stay overnight. As soon as I arrived I realized it was nothing like the photos. I sent pics to Expedia and they immediately remedied the situation. I left and stayed for an actual hotel, not a house of ill repute. There's a reason it's that cheap. The locals even warn you about it.

I'll get right to the point. 2 sheeshas, 3 simple drinks (nothing fancy). BD 95 (USD251). Not even the most expensive hotel charges this much. Complete thieves. Menu is not clear, and this completely nasty manager keeps coming every 5 minutes asking for a tip for no reason. I have been shocked before, but this is a new level. Be careful if you wish to visit this hotel.

سأصل إلى هذه النقطة. 2 شيشا، 3 مشروبات بسيطة (لا شيء يتوهم) . 95 دينار بحريني (251) . ولا حتى أغلى رسوم الفندق بهذا القدر. لصوص كاملون. القائمة ليست واضحة، وهذا المدير السيئ تمامًا يستمر في القدوم كل 5 دقائق يطلب نصيحة دون سبب. لقد صدمت من قبل، ولكن هذا مستوى جديد. كن حذرا إذا كنت ترغب في زيارة هذا الفندق.

This is a budget hotel in an otherwise expensive destination (Bahrain isn't really a cheap place given the powerful currency). The rooms are decent although quite dated as its an old property. Breakfast when i visited wasn't a buffet but rather a complimentary a la carte. But perhaps on the weekends when theres more occupancy they might have a buffet ... not sure. There's also a bar and sports pub and a night club within the property (which is true of many 3 star and above places in Bahrain). The pool wasn't functional and theres no gym , sports center, travel desk or other good to have amenities. However there are some plus points
1. Central Location and Views from the room
2. They have complimentary airport pick / drop
3. And again, its a budget hotel so if traveling solo or for business worth it.
4. Very helpful staff that try and accommodate your request to their best

Tip : Take rooms higher up to get better views of the city and maybe of the sea as well

All in all the property can do with a little better upkeep and get the pool, and maybe a sports room functional. That would be good !

The hotel is old furnishd, the carpets in the rooms (we had 3) were dirty and very old. In the 2 rooms the water pipe did not work good.

I stayed here with my 14 year old son for the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix. Quite possibly the worst hotel I have stayed in. Check in was easy but no towels in the room so we rang reception they sent 1 for the 2 of us. 10 minutes later they brought the 2nd, with holes in it. Also no toilet roll so we had to ask. 4 nights there we never had the room cleaned. We were told at check in that breakfast was room service and to call if we wanted it. We did so at 830 on our 1st morning and was told it would be with us. At 930 we gave in and went on the hunt for a hotel restaurant. We found it on 1st floor and they had a breakfast menu. Only 3 of the 6 meals were available so we chose the American with coffee and fruit juice. 20 minutes later nothing had arrived at our table so we left stinking of cigarette smoke from the 3 other diners in the room.
The bar well I don’t want to go there. It’s appalling and complete rip off £19 for a Diet Coke and a gin and tonic (soda water) and full of smoke.

Absolutely pathetic place to stay. We reached at night and there were hooligans right at the entrance who were creating a ruckus & there was nothing being done by the Hotel Staff to keep them away. And even while we were checking-in there were shady characters in the lobby. I was told I am being upgraded, but unfortunately I was given room on 6th floor & it is impossible to sleep with the noise from the club in the premises. The room was absolutely shabby, carpets had burn marks, sofas were not cleaned. Towels were torn. Just not worth staying here.

I stayed in 2015 here and the reason i decided to stay again as it was a good place back in 2015, this time i decided to book the hotel via OTA, which i did (19th Jan for 3 nights).
I sent a message to arrange an airport pickup and ask some other information, no one get back in 3 days hence i decided to call the hotel directly, 3 attempts and no luck to be answer by Monroe team hence i give-up and cancelled the booking. Booked elsewhere and enjoyed my stay with great service.

Good for the price. Lovely spa at this hotel.

The worst hotel i have seen in my life

I booked the room with breafast but they said no it is not included. The furniture was soooo old. The lights in the room sooo terrible.

Location, cleanliness, and staff especially reception Mr. Sudeep.

Location, room size and staff. Especially the front office staff Mr. Sudeep.

Very nice place to stay in al Hoora, Exhibitions Avenue - many places to eat nearby. Spacious rooms, great reception personnel.

I like the Monroe. The price is right. The rooms are spacious. The staff is great. Interesting entertainment.

Good place, good price on Exhibition Road in al Hoora

Place is clean. Staff are very polite and accommodating. Breakfast is good. They have variety of choices. Wifi connection is very good as well. Hope to visit this hotel again in the coming days...as we always do.

The system said one suite for 3 people at 420 riyal a night.
When I arrived there, I found 2 connected room at doubled price!

Superb ambiance and stay at the hotel was comforting.
Probably it has the best late night club in the town.

I was were here only for 2days for my work but loved the hospitality and the service.

It was a good suggested place by my colleague and surely staying back on my next visit.

The Internet didn't work in my room, the room had an old electrical cord that caught fire in my room and you have to pay for any guest that come to your room.

Great experience, nice staff, good location and overall excellent value
