The hotel was incredible! That staff were so friendly and attentive..nothing was too much to ask, the hospitality provided was perfect! The location was great. We also used the spa facilities and the massages were 10/10!. We really enjoyed our stay and have left feeling extremely relaxed. We would recommend for your trip to Bahrain!

Upon arriving at the hotel at 10:30 PM after a long journey, I was shocked when the receptionist informed me that the hotel was fully booked and only had a single-bed room available, with no extra beds because it was Eid al-Adha. I told him we had booked a room for three adults, all over 25 years old, and asked how a small single bed could possibly suffice. He responded that this was the hotel’s policy and apologized, saying it was all they had. This prompted me to speak with another receptionist, who dismissed the issue and repeated the same thing, claiming the hotel’s capacity policy allowed for three people in that room. I have photos showing the bed is barely enough for two people, let alone three. We were then told there was one additional room available, but it would cost 167 Bahraini Dinars, approximately 445 USD. Exhausted, I tried searching for another hotel, but unfortunately, the time wasn’t ideal for online booking as it was past midnight, marking the start of a new day. This meant that even if we booked another hotel, check-in would be between 12 PM and 3 PM, leaving us without a place to sleep for over 12 hours, especially since we were already exhausted from travel. We took a car and visited other hotels but couldn’t find a suitable booking. After an hour and a half, we returned to our hotel, and to our surprise, the receptionist informed us that, fortunately, someone had checked out, and a room with an extra bed was now available.

Very bad experience!!!

The location of this hotel is great and so is the food and service. The rooms/suites are very spacious and were recently renovated nicely. The 3 pools are a good size for our kids and the lifeguards in site are very vigilant. Our kids also like the kid club and the activities they do. The gym is pretty big and never busy. Breakfast has a good selection and is worth including. Also, the restaurants at this hotel offer good food options and have a nice vibe.

Disappointing experience overall

Room was fine, except footprints in the shower and bathroom. After asking for this to be re-cleaned the hotel left a fruit basket in the room which could have been for 5 people, very wasteful.
Breakfast was ruined by the front desk informing breakfast was open until 1130. Upon arriving at 1100 it was shut, no ownership taken by the front desk who didn’t seem to understand our annoyance.
This could be a really good hotel but it’s let down by the small details

Very nice clean hotel. Be aware though that Expedia let's you book four people onto a room that is not appropriate for four people which we discovered when checking in. The hotel did say this was our fault but I showed them Expedia states very clearly against each room booking how many the room SLEEPS. That is an error of Expedia but thr hotel use them as a third party so they need to talk and sort that out. We had to pay extra to change our room. Aside from this everything else was spot on. Great breakfast, friendly staff. Room walls are a bit thin and windows don't drown out the motorway at the front

The communal areas are spotlessly clean and water and coffee are available all day in reception. The choice of food is excellent at breakfast and the waitors very attentive. The pool area is also extremely clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend.

Weekend at Radisson

Was not dealt with well at reception during check in. Was offered upgrades and when i explained that I was entitled to these upgrades with my Radisson VIP membership, all of a sudden the room upgrade was not available. Had to get a manager to resolve. Was given a non smoking suite....that smelled of smoke. Was told that i couldn't access the Executive lounge, despite this being a benefit of Radisson VIP membership and me providinga confirmation email from customer service.....was told that customer service is not the best source of information! They said they would check and get back to me....i had to follow up to confirm i can acccess. Paid for a rollaway bed...i had to chase up to get this delivered. Good breakfast and great service from the lady running the Executive lounge. No point having a membership program if they are going to treat members like this at check-in.

My family and I appreciate the two nights we spent at this hotel. Check in and check out were smooth and the food we had was great. We noticed that some parts of the hotel were under renovation and that had no impact on our stay. Our kids also enjoyed the time they spent at the playcare and crafts they made. The gym was a bit outdated but spacious and with plenty of equipment. My wife didn’t like that women weren’t allowed in the jacuzzi and that there was no time for women only to enjoy it. Regardless, we will stay at this hotel again.

This hotel is definitely not recommended. We were a group of 9 so we booked 3 rooms that sleep 3 each, however, we were surprised that the rooms only have 1 king bed and a sofa, NOT sofa bed just a normal sofa that doesn't fit a 10 years old child. The staff initially wanted to charge us the extra bed (which was also extremely small) but then after talking to the manager they didnt. So we paid for apartment rooms to be comfortable and we ended up not comfortable at all. Add to this that in 2 of the rooms the water in the bathrooms flooded so while taking a shower the entire room was covered with water. And the smell was the cherry on the top.
In summary, even though i usually book in radisson blu in most of the countries, in Bahrain it is definitely not recommended.
To be fair, they accepted giving us late checkout.

We needed to get away from Khobar for a couple of nights. We enjoyed the executive lounge; the ladies that work there are especially accommodating. The pool was clean and inviting. My only complaint would be that we had two beers at the Irish Pub for over $30. That is outrageous.

We loved our stay. Family friendly hotel. The staff was very polite and friendly. Our room was spacious, and clean. The only thing is that smoking is allowed everywhere in the pool area, even infront of the kids pool! I guess that is more of a cultural thing but I find it very disappointing that adults dont care about kids well-being. Other than that I would highly recommend it and we will definitely stay here again.

The hotel was a disaster, The Health Club was dirty, pest ridden and no staff. When staff were there they didnt seem to mind a man shaving his feet into the Jacuzzi.

Then there was the fights at night that woke me up at 4.30am then it was not till 5am when security arrived.

I would highly advise avoiding this property at all costs.
