Hotel spy: the lowdown on Bahrain's hotels

This month, Grass Roots sent its hotel mystery shoppers to Bahrain to report exclusively for Hotelier Middle East

The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain Hotel & Spa

The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain Hotel & Spa scored well in terms of making a reservation, hotel arrival and departure, but lost points for not offering internet in the lobby, meaning this month’s winning score is not as high as in the previous locations of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa

Points were lost for The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa as a result of a lack of quality service and attention to detail, however, the mystery shopper did say that they would both return to the property and recommend it to friends and family.
