Iโ€™ve stayed here many times over the years, and it will always be my go to whenever Iโ€™m in Bahrain. The hotel is centrally located, making it very convenient whether youโ€™re here for business or leisure. Thereโ€™s a great selection of restaurants on-site, my favorite is the Japanese, followed closely by the Mexican. The highlight of my stay was spending the whole day at the pool, where Sunday and David took excellent care of me. They truly went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Yes, this is an older hotel, and you notice it as soon as you walk in. But thatโ€™s never been an issue for me. I actually appreciate well maintained classic hotels, as long as theyโ€™re clean and have everything I need. Thank you, Gulf Hotel!

Staff and the main areas of the hotel are really nice. Our room however not so. We booked a non smoking room and the first thing you smelt was stale tobacco. The air con was so cold that the bed was damp and smelt like it had been damp for quite a while. It was so cold we turned off the air con but never got any sleep. Colder than camping in Wales in the spring. The decor is very dated and there was a very strange odour in the bathroom. The swimming pool was in need of a lot of repairs too. Lots of tiles missing and the edges were very rickety and felt unsafe. Stayed in quite a few hotels and this was one of the worst. Very disappointed as it wasn't cheap either.

Fantastic location but the check in was extremely slow, we had to wait over 45 mins in line to receive the keys to our room. The luggage service was also slow, I asked them to allow to take my own bags to the room. Other than that, room was clean and met our needs, itโ€™s not the first time we stay here, but we decided to provide feedback to see some improvements in the future.

We have used the Gulf hotel many times over the years and always enjoyed our stays in both the hotel rooms and apartments. The staff are so friendly and helpful and cannot do enough for you. The pool is lovely and there are loads of on-site dining options. Or if you donโ€™t want to eat in the hotel, there are plenty of other restaurants within walking distance. We love the place so much we are already looking at booking another stay next year!
