Overall Ratings & Reviews Gulf Hotel Convention and SPA

Excellent

The location

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.

Great hotel great staff. Very clean. Internet great. Food great. Nothing to complain about. Worth every penny.

All ok

Staff very helpful. Too many restaurants. Looby very big and full of life. Easy parking.

Very good location walkable to most of the good resteraunts and pubs

The Gulf hotel is in an excellent location for dining options. I’ve stayed many times and this time was lovely to see all the Christmas and National Day decorations. The effort they put in made our stay more special this time - magical!

We found the hotel very enjoyable, although the only couple of complaints was that we were given just one bath sized towel and a hand towel for our second day, for two people. The other issue was very poor WiFi which I've never had before in this hotel. Other than that, the stay was very good.

I loved the atmosphere of the hotel. All the staff, the restaurants in the main lobby, the room service, everyone and everything worked out so perfectly to allow us to have a great and relaxing vacation. We will definitely save this hotel for the books seeing this won’t be our last time there. Thank you guys for everything you do. :)

Great location and what an amazing stay at this hotel. Variety of restaurants, gym was good and the spa was amazing. Highly recommend the Iranian and Thai restaurants. Warm and very friendly staff.

The brunch was delicious and such a great experience with the amazing live music. The kids loved the pool.

The hotel is lovely, good location, very clean and comfortable. The only downside to our stay was the work men doing work in the next room at 10.30pm!! My husband had to ask them to be quiet. We were given a free late check out for the inconvenience.

The hotel was amazingly beautiful and the staff were professional, helpful and friendly. Very comfortable stay. The room was emaculate.

First class hotel great value for the price.

Room was really nice, comfy bed with good amenities. Only downside was charging outlets, not close to bed. Otherwise lovely stay, very helpful and friendly staff and beautiful grounds.

Love this place. I travel to Bahrain 2-3 times a year for c. 1 week business trips. The gulf hotel has now become my ‘go-to’. Brilliant staff, comfortable and spacious rooms, amazing restaurants and generally a brilliant feeling to the place.

Staff is very good

It’s a good hotel overall

Big hotel with lots of space, fitness areas, outdoor swimming pool and different restaurants, including the highly rated Fusions by Tala. We stayed in one of the apartments, which was nice but the section it was in felt a bit tired. Overall the hotel is a great place to stay if you are in Bahrain. Particularly as it's not that far from the airport.
