Stayed for a night in winter, and found I could not warm my room. Seems that because Bahrain is mostly hot, air-conditioning only is the priority! My colleague had the same experience in his room. With regard to the hotel layout, it is confusing! There are two sets of lifts to separate room towers. The second set of lifts is... More

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. There would have been a nice view of the grand mosque but the windows were filthy. The men's gym was well equipped (you get your exercise just walking to it, it... More

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. Note, these are separated. Squash courts available but bring your own racket as there are non for rent here. A bit away from the city center... More

4 point review: - Good location, easy 20 minute ride from the airport and plenty of restaurants nearby. Lots of taxis are available right outside. - Quite large in size with an adjoining convention center. Ideal for corporate events. The rooms are satisfactory although there are clear signs of ageing. The restaurants are quite good with plenty of options and... More

Spent 2 nights in a platinum room on the 8th floor. After a very late check-in, we were given a room without a bathtub. 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
