Wyndham Garden Manama is a modern mid-range hotel in Juffair, a residential and dining district on the east side of the capital. It was built in 2017 and rises across 28 floors with 441 rooms, designed in a garden-apartment style. Many rooms have balconies, and some have a kitchenette, microwave or refrigerator, which suits families and longer stays. The hotel is beside Oasis Mall, so shops, cafes and supermarkets are on the doorstep. It has an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and a children's pool, plus a health club, spa and hot tub, and three restaurants on site: Jashan, Trattoria and Cafe Mosaic. Rooms come with air-conditioning, a coffeemaker, a minibar, a safe, satellite TV, an iron and daily housekeeping, and non-smoking rooms are available. The mix of space, pools and kitchen facilities makes it one of the better-value choices for a family in the city.
Location and getting around
Juffair sits about three kilometres from central Manama and roughly nine kilometres, around ten minutes by road, from Bahrain International Airport. The Al Fateh Grand Mosque is in the same part of town, so it is one of the easiest sights to visit from here. For the souq, the National Museum, Bahrain Fort and Muharraq you will take a taxi or ride-hailing car, which are plentiful and affordable. Bahrain has no metro, so a short hop by car is the rule everywhere.
Rooms
The garden-apartment layout means more floor space than a standard hotel room, and the kitchenettes are handy for breakfast and snacks. Ask for a higher floor for views and for quieter nights. The outdoor pool is a welcome break after a hot day of sightseeing, and the indoor pool and hot tub keep the facilities usable all year round.
Who it suits
Families, groups of friends and longer-stay travellers who want space and self-catering options at a sensible price. It is also a good choice for visitors who like to be next to a mall, with food courts, supermarkets and pharmacies close at hand. Good to know: it is a large tower, so lifts can be busy at peak times, and Juffair is more suburban than the old town, so you will not get the atmosphere of the souq on your doorstep.
Internet access may carry an extra fee according to listings, so check what is included when you book. For mid-range comfort with pool access and a good location for the mosque and the seafront restaurants, it is a smart pick.
