Must Visit for a beautiful View and Cultural touch
It was a great experience right from the security door to reception with helping staff like Lucy and Babona. The music which was coming from the next hotel beach was a little too loud to be relaxing enough. Rest all was great and comfortable.

I am very upset about my stay with you
Unfortunately, I book and stay with you so that I can relax all my energy while I work, but unfortunately, at exactly 7 a.m., your maintenance work began on my room. Is this consistent with the name of the Novotel hotel in the world? I am very disturbed by your poor arrangement. If you have maintenance in a building, you do not have the right to provide it. Rooms near the maintenance area, which caused me inconvenience, and I will inform everyone of this misfortune that befell me.

Poor service. Cost cutting affects quality.
I have stayed in the Novotel Al Dana, Bahrain several times over the last 18 year's of visiting Bahrain. The last time was 7 year's ago and there have certainly been changes since then, not for the better. The service around the beach bar area was terrible, with the bar being unmanned much of the time. Cleaning of the room was also an issue. Apparently now you have to book a time if you want your room cleaned. This wasn't explained at check-in and in my opinion should be automatic and not require a booking. I complained to the duty manager who explained there had been cut backs since Covid-19. I have stayed in other hotels in Bahrain and their service is much better and hasn't had these cuts. I would recommend staying elsewhere if you want a drink and if you require daily room cleaning. Very sad as used to be a great hotel.

We had a great sty with the kids. Imane was really helpful and arranged an upgrade as it was the children’s birthdays this weekend. Catered to all our needs. The hotel is nice, if dated but staff in general were approachable and helpful. Have stayed here before as the pool and beach area are good especially for the kids. Breakfast has improved from the last time I stayed which is good.

The hotel dates back to the 80's. They haven't invested a dime since. The staff do not seem to have been trained on customer service. There's no way I'm ever staying there again.
