Guests consistently praise the Merchant House for its spacious, condo-like rooms and its prime location near the souk and Bab Al-Bahrain.

The rooftop area, featuring a pool, gym, and restaurant, provides great views and ambiance, though some guests have noted the lack of views from certain suites due to the surrounding downtown buildings.

central locationart collectionblocked ramp
the location is very central, near the souk. the rooms are spacious. The ART collection displayed throughout the hotel, including a picasso painting, was really excellent.
The entrance ramp was often blocked by parked vehicles. it made dropping off luggage quite difficult. i believe the hotel could resolve this minor issue.
