Traveling in style is what I do, and 'pretender' are found out quickly ... like those purporting to be 5 star and deserve 3 or less as recently seen in Abuja / Nigeria. But here, the moment I had my limo door opened by the door man, seeing a porter attend to my baggage, the door being held open with... More

Just entering the hotel foyer and going up the escallator you know that this is a very good hotel. The huge chandelier in the reception area is impressive. We were checked-in very efficently by very welcoming staff and directed to our rooms which were well appointed with safe, mini-bar, phone, TV, seating area, desk, etc. My bathroom had a corner...

My room was one of the renovated ones, and was actually very good - comfy bed, good wifi, safe big enough for a laptop, but poor and complicated lighting.

Comfortable and well layed out hotel rooms with great views over the city. Big selection of restaurants and bars, nice pool area and well equipped gym for the gents, not so for the ladies.

The restaurants are quite good with plenty of options and... More

I requested a room change, but this took over 30 minutes wait and 3 calls down to reception. When an attendant finally came to show us to the other room, I asked him (as we were... More

The Gulf Hotel used to be on an island but the land reclamation that's been going on in Bahrain for the past decades makes it just part of a quiet residential/hotel neighborhood. If you're coming in from overseas, make this the one hotel you choose so that you feel really safe, pampered and with the best views of the country.... More

Have stayed here two years in a row and still love it. Each time I have stayed, it has been for at least 5 days. Cant fault the service and the food in the many restaurants is fantastic. There are also several restaurants within walking distance that are reasonably priced. The pool area is also really nice with excellent service.... More
