Baisan International Hotel

Baisan International Hotel is considered to be one of the safest options for LGBTQ+ travelers, but guests should be mindful of the cleanliness of hotel-provided amenities and consider bringing their own personal items.

我從來沒去過這樣的酒店，這個酒店是***主題酒店，出租車司機很疑惑為什麼我要去這個酒店。裏面的人盯着看的眼神一點都不正常，最過分的是對面的大樓剛剛發生過火災，觸目驚心！！！

You stay at the Baisan because it's cheap, and in this case you get what you pay for. It's run down and the smell of stale smoke is overpowering. I cannot imagine how this has a 3.5 star rating. The rooms in terms of their facilities are ok (TV, mini-fridge, Wi-Fi), the furniture is dated, the bed is ok and the sheets/bedding/pillowcases were clean. The problem with this place is the noise from the nightclub that goes on through the entire night (so you can't sleep) and the harassment (including knocking of doors all night long) from the local *******s. The "policy" of this hotel is to keep your passport for your stay because they don't trust you not to break or steal the items in the room. Do you really want to trust these guys with your passport? Is it acceptable to force guests to hand over their passport? After some discussion at reception it became possible to keep your passport buy only after paying a 10 BD deposit (refundable on departure). The swimming pool was not operational and didn't look like somewhere you would want to go. The gym didn't look safe. Didn't try the breakfast. The staff on the front desk were polite and they did their best to address the problems. The security guy was also good, but couldn't do much to help with the issues at this hotel. Overall, polite staff who do their best but the problems outnumber the benefits. There are better choices if you need to stay in Bahrain on a budget.

Like: Staff were mostly helpful, mini fridge, Wi-Fi Dislike: Smelly (stale smoke) rooms, very noisy, and questionable practices ongoing throughout the night

The bed sheets had a cigarette hole and did not appear to be clean. The walls were dirty. The room was not cleaned during the time I was there and I only found out at the end of my stay that for security reasons, they only clean rooms when a guest is in the room. In any case, the room was dirty at check-in.

Booking this hotel was the biggest mistake I have made

My stays was excellent

All I wanted was an alarm call. Beyond them.

Small room and old
