I had stayed in business trip during the F1 grand prix and the hotel raised the prices for Saturday end Sunday. I is a very good hotel, with many restaurants inside, but you can not walk around because there is nothing near, you have to take a taxi to go to clubs and disco.

stayed there this year for a couple of nights with work and was happy with my stay there. Request non smoking room if needed and they were great at all my requests. The food was superb and I would stay there again!

The Gulf Hotel in Bahrain has the best combination of comfort and dining opportunities. They offer many restaurants on site with a wide variety of cuisines. Our favorites are the Margarita Mexicana (love the fresh guacamole prepared at your table) and the Pergola Italian restaurants. The breakfast buffet is very good. The best hidden treasure is the Vintage Wine Bar.... More

Enjoyed staying at this hotel -- excellent service, food, and rooms. Really liked the Iranian restaurant in the hotel. Only tip I have is that there isn't an ATM machine in the hotel. Fortunately the walk to the ATM was quite safe and traffic was very orderly (not at all like Cairo or Lima, if you've been there).

My month-long stay at this hotel was very pleasant. Their breakfast buffet is excellent and I participated every morning. There is also a great variety of restaurants right on the property so there's never a boring evening without food at the hotel. The staff always greeted you with a smile and eager to ask if you need any help. And... More

There are 14 international restaurants at this hotel. Yes, 14! Ranging from Thai to Mexican. We managed about 6 of them during a stay here for a conference being hosted at the same venue. Whilst the Chinese and Italian were pretty average to indifferent, the Thai was absolutely superb. The Mexican was also surprisingly excellent. As well as these gastronomic... More
