The Orangery Tea Room is a legitimate destination for locals
Located in the heart of Adliya's Block 338 art and dining district
Brzi pregled: A fantastic restaurant complex that happens to have some decent rooms attached to it.
Pregledano od @Capriwoman: I checked into Palmyard and was seriously impressed by the vibe. The welcome ritual with the cold towel was exactly what I needed, and the pool area is a total hidden gem in the city. Definitely my new go-to spot in Bahrain for a quick recharge.
Što su rekli gosti koji su boravili ovdje
The hype
Travelers love the boutique vibe and incredible food access, but often feel the pool and room maintenance lag behind the restaurant quality.
Reality check
You are staying here for the vibe and the food; if you want a resort-style pool experience, go to the Ritz or Four Seasons.
You are a foodie who prioritizes dinner reservations over room square footage
You want to walk to Bahrain's best bars and galleries in Block 338
You prefer a small, intimate property (20 rooms) over a soulless tower
Čistoća i održavanje
8.5
Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though some recent reports mention missed spots.
Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but watch out for grout issues in older ground-floor bathrooms.
Maintenance: The weak point. Peeling paint and 'tired' pool tiles are common complaints.
Linens & towels: High quality—Egyptian cotton sheets are a standard here.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells amazing (fresh pastries/flowers), but some rooms have had complaints of smoke drift.

Prije nego što rezervirate
Dobro je znati
The hotel was formerly known as 'The Palace Boutique Hotel'
Valet parking is free and essential as Adliya street parking is a nightmare
Alcohol is served here (licensed property), unlike some dry hotels in Manama
Što trebate pakirati
Smart casual dinner outfits—Masso and Circa have dress codes (no shorts/sandals)
Earplugs if you're sensitive to weekend nightlife noise
Geni za sobe
Najbolji izbori
First-floor rooms (European first floor, not ground) for better privacy and less noise
Rooms facing the inner courtyard/garden for a greener view
Sobe za izbjegavanje
Ground floor pool-access rooms—reviews cite them as small, with awkward bathroom layouts and less privacy
Rooms closest to the Circa lounge entrance if you sleep before midnight
Geni za zahtjeve soba – kopiraj i zalijepi
“I would appreciate a room on an upper floor, away from the Circa lounge entrance. Please avoid the ground floor pool-access rooms if possible.”
FAQ & Skriveni savjeti
Sve što zaista trebate znati prije nego što rezervirate.
Is the pool actually open?
Technically yes, but recent reviews from Jan 2026 suggest it's in poor condition despite scheduled renovations. Don't book solely for the swim.
Can I walk to other bars?
Yes, you are in Block 338. You can safely walk to Coco's, Calexico, and Hazel Rooftop within 5-10 minutes.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but it's a la carte (order from a menu), not a buffet. Quality is high, but variety is limited.
Is it good for families?
Not really. It's an adult-focused boutique with a nightlife vibe. Rooms are small for extra beds.
How far is the airport?
About a 15-20 minute drive (Bahrain is small), but traffic in Manama can be heavy during rush hour.
Is there a gym?
Yes, a small fitness center is available, but it's basic. Good for a quick treadmill run, not a powerlifting session.
Saveti insajdera
✨
The Orangery has a separate 'Tea Time' menu that is cheaper and better than most hotel high teas—book it separately.
✨
Ask for a room *away* from the kitchen exhaust vents if you want to avoid the smell of cooking in the morning.
✨
Masso is often fully booked; ask the hotel concierge to secure a table when you book your room.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što dođete
💡The 'pool access' rooms actually open onto a public pathway, so you have zero privacy with the curtains open.
💡The bathroom doors in some standard rooms are frosted glass sliders that don't fully seal—awkward for new couples.
💡You can hear the call to prayer from nearby mosques, which is atmospheric but early.
💡The WiFi speed is excellent (25+ Mbps), making it a surprisingly good spot for digital nomads.
💡Room service is essentially takeout from their top-tier restaurants—one of the best room service menus in the country.
