The pool is great, restaurants nice and 2 bedroom apartment was spacious. I think the prices in Bahrain overall are getting unreasonable and the Gulf is no exception. Since a family of 5 needs 2 rooms at least - this makes for an expensive weekend. Service was fine and the bar is relaxing. Overall enjoyed our stay except for the... more

We stayed at the hotel as I had to attend an event at the hotel's convention center and didn't feel like taking the taxi from a different hotel since it was summer time. The room at the new wing was ok, but the bathroom tiles have seen better days. What ticked us off, considering the pricey rate we had to... more

Its a nice hotel, but thats really all it was, nice. I wasnt in a new wing so maybe that has changed a lot. In the old wing where I was staying, rooms were pretty basic and the service wasnt great and I was annoyed that despite a pretty expensive room rate, breakfast was not included. The one great point... more

The Gulf Hotel has just been completely renovate. My room was perfect. The bathroom was really amazing (thought the shower leaked) Service was superbe. Mu luggage was lost in the Terminal 5 fiasco in LHR, when I checked in I let them know that my luggage might arrive the following day. The receptionist gave me large bottles of Bulgari shower... more

We just returned from a week's stay I the Gulf Hotel in Bahrain. It is a good business hotel situated a little bit out of the way of the main business centres. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were assigned a room in the older section of the hotel. These rooms have been completely refurbished. The room we... more

I loved the hotel and actually only left once in three days. The restaurants were lovely. I was the first person to stay in my room in the new wing. It was beautiful, with a huge king size bed, several wonderful pillows, fruit on the nightstand. The bedside light/temperature control needed a bit of work. I was asked by management... more

myself and a few friends stayed at this hotel for our xmas break . we paid over the odds for a 2 night stay, in a frankly,, dissapointing hotel. we were placed in an odd shaped (small) room with a view of the parking lot, the beds were really hard and after 2 nights made my back ache. we stayed... more

an overall ok hotel. the rooms in the main wing have recently been renovated and look it. very clean and modern with decent space. here are the problems: * wifi in room requires physical card purchase from the reception but unfortunately they were out of the 24 hour cards that cost 10BD. i had to buy the only remaining 5BD... more

Ok this is a harder review as this hotel both makes the grade and also fails in some areas terribly. Airport pickup was a joke with no driver on hand and then eventually told by a hotel rep to take the bus! Eventually took a car but it was filthy and the driver drove like a maniac - touching 140k... more
