    There was a small leak in the bathroom; the shower extension in the bath was malfunctioning; prices in restaurant menus don't show true cost - they exclude various levies and charges

    Hotel history, view of the Royal Palace and the Central Mosque, cityscape views; selection of restaurants; all day breakfast at the Delice Cafe; helpful and cheerful staff

    Room service was strange. They took the dirty towels but didn’t replace the hand towels or bath mats. And only made the bed and didn’t replace any tea/coffee etc.

    Pool was decent. Breakfast was nice.

    My wife and I checked in around midnight on the 20th of February 2024, we had a smooth check in and the duty manager went out of his way to help us choose a room of our liking by showing us three different rooms!!! That was exceptional! We had booked a standard room, but we were upgraded to deluxe category. The dining options at the Gulf Hotel are just unbelievable...and they have live music at most of the venues and we had a wonderful time at the mexican restaurant Cantina with live music and dance. The ambience of the bar is amazing too with both indoor and outdoor sitting. In all, the Gulf has seven to eight restaurants offering different cuisines like Italian, Mexican, Iranian, etc. They also have a plush cigar lounge.. The pool at the Gulf is just outstanding and whether you're with family or by your self it is the perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon or evening. To top this all is the location.... you step out of the Gulf right onto Block 338 which is the most happening area in Manama, full of bars, restaurants and lounges where the action begins as early as 10 am and continues till the wee hours. Breakfast at the hip Cafe Lilou is a 'must do' for anyone visiting Manama!

    Unfortunately the price of the breakfast was extremely expensive and wasn’t really worth the money. I couldn’t eat a lot of the stuff that was put out so was very disappointed with that.

    The hotel was absolutely stunning. I loved everything about it. The room was extremely clean had everything in it that we needed plus more, the bed was to die for was so comfy. The bathroom was spotless and so spacious, the shower was huge and bath even bigger. We ate in the Mexican restaurant and it was delicious. We also ate in the pool bar and there was nothing to complain about at all. The pool was so clean and very well maintained. Above all else the stuff are amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Always happy and smiling. I loved everything about this hotel and experience. Thank you so much for everything.

    We were unwittingly 'upgraded' to a room without a bath. I love a bath. The aircon, despite being set to 23 degrees, kept the room at 19 degrees (my alarm clock has a thermometer), we were freezing. The aircon thermostat has bright red lights next to the bed which are impossible to cover. The curtains are black out but light seeps around the sides. The 'luxury' room was very small and had a shower with a shower curtain and a rain shower only. Shower curtains are definitely not luxury (however clean they are) and rain showers are really tricky for those wanting to keep their hair dry. There was a lot of traffic noise late.

    The history of the hotel, the location. The non smoking 10th floor doesn't smell of smoke at all. Our room felt newly decorated. The bed was comfortable with a nice natural light weight duvet.

    Can't really say there was anything I didn't like. Service, courtesy, cleanliness were all very good

    From check in to check out, everything went smoothly. Must mention Jithu Varghese, every time he's around everything seems to go well.

    Hotel is expensive for the offered services and facilities. Crowded swimming pools with poor and expensive services. There is not enough parking lot for the number of guests requiring us to park in a parking building far from the lobby. Promised amenities (iron, hair dryer) provided only after requesting.

    Beatiful hotel, good location, good breakfast; restaurants, cafés, pubs nearby. Nice view from the room, good bathroom, comfortable bed. Very beautiful swimming pool area.

    Some things in the bathroom were of not very good quality like i can say the property is very old so a little but maintainence is required though it’s well maintained overall but many items need to be upgraded or replaced .

    i didn’t take the breakfast option but otherwise the room was very good and the location was superb n quiet , hotel lobby was excellent n spacious .
