“Merchant House's central Manama”
The Merchant House is a very clean central Manama boutique — nicely-decorated rooms and suites, an excellent breakfast with great choices, a good rooftop restaurant, a location convenient to the airport, and polite warm staff who made a solo female traveler feel safe. Two small notes: the mosque next door's early-morning call carries through the neighborhood, and one guest found the rate a touch high for the surroundings.
