The property itself is very good, modern, well-appointed and well-kept. My suite was huge and well-equipped, good kitchen area, tvs and great bed. Staff were unobtrusive and helpful when needed.
The area itself is still under development, with many vacant lots and traffic basically using sand tracks in some places. This made the walk to the local mall/hypermarket rather tricky, so taking a cab is recommended.

The outside condition of the building needs to be refurbished and the constant construction surrounding the building was annoying to listen to during the day while on the balcony. Other than that, the property catered to all of my needs, the kitchen being the most important.

The staff at the front desk is really sweet and cooperative. The room staff is also very unintrusive. The breakfaat buffet deal for those staying is great. Visit Manama in December or January and you'll love it.

Small mall and Grand Mosque within (winter) walking distance. Nice breakfast, nice views (at least on the side our room was located). We arranged airport pickup and Jazeera got us there 5 hours late (as usual). Hotel had monitored flight and pickup was waiting for us. Friendly staff. Quick check-out. Small 'grocery' store on site.

Good for families with children looking for space.

I booked thinking it was a hotel but it’s a serviced apartment. We were offered a larger apartment space (2 bed apt. But they locked 1 room). It had 2 bathrooms very airy and a nice large balcony to the sea.
It was clean but the rug had some stains. My main issue was the toiletry, I hate when they offer 1 for all purpose type of soap/shampoo a very cheep hand soap brand, no conditioner.
They don’t have a restaurant beside from a hall for breakfast, standard quality with good range of options but not that inviting. There was a home style toaster, too busy I couldn’t use. Juice was not fresh or good quality-sugary orange flavoured.
Location is far from the shopping district but new developing calm area easy access to different parts, so it depends on your needs. Good secured parking.
I found it very expensive (about 90 BD) for the room and breakfast but I booked late, I didn’t have many options.
Didn’t feel the luxury or treatment I was wanting. No small special details that make the difference. Very standard and practical. Would recommend for families with children especially if they want to use the swimming pool which I found people coming from through the small lobby.

great for the price! Wi-fi needs to be improved!

For the price of the room, it was lovely. Very clean and tidy

The wi-fi needs to improve because I cannot do any work with a weak signal, therefore this will lead to less people staying here.

Not much to do around the area though. Bahrain is still under a lot of construction

Fantastic Gym facilities, however!

Well fit apartment hotel for families

Fantastic with some exceptions like:
-You have to call the reception to get your room made up;

- We were told that the second room would have two single beds which was not. We were given a queen size bed;

- We were forced to sign an acknowledgment containing a list of furniture items with their skyrocketing fees in case they were damaged;

- The place was very hard to find and reach even when google maps are used.

- The breakfast was average. You need to go eat very early to avoid the waiting time. Also, their restaurant manager needs some training on how to deal with guests. He asked us improperly to leave the restaurant since he presumed that we were \"finished\"

- Kitchen is well equipped even with detergent.

- There is a little supermarket in the ground floor selling all urgent stuff.

Overall, the stay was marvelous and the staff were exceptionally friendly.

Very clean and very friendly staff

It is not a hotel but apartments facilities. No restaurants except breakfast buffet. No 24 hours house keeping. but it has other hotels facilities.

There was no water sprayer which is very essential for Muslims but bedded which is not practical to use.

Relaxing place to stay.

The Sommerset is a great alternative to hotels. Huge comfortable suites make you feel right at home. Breakfast is good. I love the Juffair area in Bahrain and the only reason I gave alow rating was due to the construction zone surrounding the hotel. Unfortunately, we had a peaceful room until the road work started and went on all night long.

Construction zone

Nice hotel/ex-pat apartments in quiet corner of Juffair area, but it's really a construction zone right now with new buildings going up all around. A very large apartment building, > 20 floors, is going up right next door on the west side of the hotel. Lots of dust, trash, and construction noise during the day.

Great staff but difficult to find

We had booked a delux room with Executive Lounge access. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a one-bedroom suite but informed that the Executive Lounge was closed (or non-existant). The location was awkward and in the middle of major construction but it was close to the grand mosque and Bahrain seems to be one big construction site these days, since we left the Middle East at the end of 2007. Overall, the staff and accommodation were excellent but amenities such as an Executive Lounge should not be a factor when determining which room to book if they do not exist.

Very Misleading Photo

The hotel is in the shade for most of the day as a 45 storey building is within 15 metres of the hotel entrance. the building in question is the tallest (by far) in the Juffair area, its only use is a landmark to take you back to the 'somerset'

Excellent if you need the luxury of hotel & Apt

My experience was great with this hotel. Everyone in our company enjoyed the service and welcoming attitude we are met all the time. The hotel combines both hotel luxury and apartment comfortable atmosphere. The furniture is somehow combining both luxuries. Gym was so great as well.

Disappointed - no beach, scary walks, ok 4 kids

The area around the Somerset is now quite developed and congested. If the construction finishes in the next few years it might make it a nicer stay. No indoor pool - missed that in the ammenities, too cold in January to swim outside. My wife arranged an airport pickup online, but that didn't make it to the front desk, so we had to get a cab with 3 kids and 2 carseats. The kids play area was a somewhat nice relief, but it needed a little bit of TLC. No beach is near. The walks to the marina (dolphin show) and to the Grand Mosque were a bit scary with 2 boys 6 and 4 and a toddler in the stroller. Narrow streets (partly due to construction) and lots of mud. The museum and bowling alley were a bit beyond their distance. The hotel's van service was a life-saver, but rent a car. We were left at one location for 2+ hours because the driver did a shift change and the new driver had no idea where we were and didn't speak great English. We got a ride from a complete stranger. The staff was apologetic, but it was a very frustrating experience. The beds were a bit uncomfortable. The suites (we stayed in a 2 bedroom) were nice, one of our soap dispensers didn't work, but we never told anyone so someone maybe would have fixed it. We ordered food in for all our meals in the room. The convenience store in the hotel had most items you'd need for reasonable prices.

Nice apartment, a little crowded in the Eid Holiday, but managed. The way to go there, is a little bit difficult at the beginning, but with the help of signs here & there, it was OK. One comment is that the tv-receiver in kids bedroom was connected to the living room, and our kids were staying up late!!

Excellent Hotel - Poor Location.

This apartemnt hotel is really fantastic from inside. I occupied three apartments during my two day stay and I was very satisfied with thier conditions. There are no restaurants in the hotel, so you have to manage your meals, except for breakfast. The major negative aspect about this hotel is the location. It is surrounded by buildings under construction. Your car will be covered by dust within minutes. Road leading to the hotel is primitive. No services are available in the neighborhood.

Pleasantly surprised!

I was plesantly surprised at the installations and courtesy of the staff. Having read other comments, I was a bit hesitant to book an apartment here, but took the risk and couldn't be happier: Ample parking, ample and clean accomodations, comfortable beds, and good breakfast. Yes, it is a bit of a hazzle getting to the place with all the construction and \"temporary\" roads, but then, I didn't spent my time going back and forth from the hotel. Plenty of restaurants in the area and also delivery, but would be nice to have food service at night at the hotel too.
