The Merchant House

Imran Munir

Came here for my wedding anniversary and the stay was exceptionally memorable. The hotel is truly beautiful with beautiful decor and art gallery pieces at every turn. Service was exemplary for the moment my car pulled up to the door. We had dinner at the rooftop restaurant for the brunch and each plate was a star in itself and amazing value for what we had. The breakfast is again a wonderful experience with food brought to your table and just immaculately done. Cannot fault the hotel and I look forwards to coming back again soon.

The experience at Indigo Terrace was just okay. Unfortunately, the staff did not inform us in advance that the afternoon tea set needs to be ordered 24 hours prior, which was disappointing. The cake also did not seem fresh and fell below expectations. The only highlight of the visit was the croissant, which was fresh and delicious. Overall, there is room for improvement in both communication and food quality.

The Merchant House is a truly exceptional hotel and one of the most authentic stays I have experienced in the Gulf. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, and the artwork throughout the hotel is very carefully and tastefully curated. The service is attentive, warm and genuinely personal. The location is excellent, right next to Bab Al Bahrain and the old Manama Souq. You can simply walk out of the hotel and immediately explore the narrow streets, traditional shops, cafés and historic trading district. It gives you a much deeper connection to Bahrain than staying in one of the newer hotel districts. Breakfast is also excellent. I particularly appreciated that it is à la carte rather than a typical hotel buffet, and the quality of the food is very high. They also have a restaurant called Cinnamon, located on the main street of the souq, which I highly recommend trying. What makes The Merchant House special is that it feels authentic, intimate and genuinely Bahraini, while still delivering a very high standard of luxury and service. The gym is small, but perfectly adequate for most workouts, particularly if you are staying for only a day or two. My only reservation would be for families with children. I would probably choose another hotel in a similar price range, as there are properties in Bahrain with much better facilities and activities for children. Overall, highly recommended, especially for couples or anyone who wants to experience the character and heritage of Bahrain rather than simply stay in a conventional five-star hotel.
