من تجربتي في فندق الخليج بالبحرين، إنه فندق قديم جدًا وخدماته سيئة للغاية. لم يكن التلفزيون يعمل، وعندما اتصلت بالاستقبال، أرسلوا فنيًا أخبرني أنه لن يعمل ليلًا وأنه سيتم إصلاحه غدًا، لكنه لم يُصلح. أيضًا، لم تكن الثلاجة تعمل، وكان التكييف سيئًا وساخنًا. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، الغرفة صغيرة جدًا والفندق قديم. شكرًا لاهتمامكم.

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, it’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 don’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!

Nice hotel but pool area is very tired

Nice hotel close to the shopping mall and only 15 minutes from the airport. Pool area is very tired with broken tiles and faded woodwork. Sunbeds are old and not enough side tables. Nice breakfast with huge fresh selection. Lots of other nice restaurants on site too. I would recommend staying here but pool area definitely needs a massive refurbishment. Hopefully now it’s a Marriot they will make the improvements needed

Not up to usual standard

This is my 5th stay at the hotel due to working in the area and the first time during Ramadan. I bought breakfast when I booked but was informed that rather than the normal 6am opening it was 7am due to Ramadan. No good for me as I had to be on site for 7am. No mention of this when booking the hotel. The hotel allowed me in to the breakfast area but others who had paid for breakfast in the same situation as me, weren't so lucky. Only cereals and coffee were available at this time. The quality of the food, especially the hot dishes is definitely not as good as previous stays: less variety; poorer presentation. Previously I would have scored the food 9/10, now nearer 7/10 - change of chef or Ramadan influence? Finally, coming down to dinner about 7:30pm, the whole dining area is devastated, not one clean table to sit it with mess everywhere. Again, on previous visits, staff would clear away your plates immediately, this trip, plates were left stacking up with food on the floor, tables and seating not cleaned up. Must say that I was disappointed. I understand that it is Ramadan but a large majority of the guests are non-muslim with a job of work to do in KSA. I may try another hotel for my next visit.
