The Gulf Hotel is legendary in Bahrain and I appreciate its number of restaurants and access to Manama, but it is really too old and too worn down to be a 5 star hotel.

This is a great hotel with lots of incredible dining options. I sampled 5 of the restaurants and was never disappointed. Staff throughout the hotel and restaurants were extremely helpful and friendly. Although I didn’t visit them, the hotel is within walking distance to two large size malls.

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.
