Gulf Hotel Bahrain Convention and Spa

Good location

AC like a fridge everywhere, unsustainable ! when the entire world is trying to save energy it is improper to maintain 18 degrees in a gigantic hall as well as rooms etc. It is also extremely uncomfortable

I've stayed at the Gulf many times over the past four years. The pool and pool bar staff are great. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable.

Sadly, the reception isn't as friendly and courteous as it used to be at the Gulf. As an Elite member, during my last visit, I wasn't received with kindness. Additionally, there were issues with my check out time when I had been offered a late check out time, possibly as a result of how I was received by a reception worker upon my arrival. The Gulf has seemed to make many changes over the past year and a half by adding more reception workers, some simply standing and watching in the lobby, not seeming to have a specific job. It is a bit overbearing. Overall, if you are new to the Gulf, you will never know how wonderful the reception desk was two, three, four years ago. One last note, the toiletries in the bathroom have also changed over the past year and a half. The quality has gone down while the price of the rooms has gone up. I miss how wonderful it used to be to arrive at the Gulf with a warm, friendly welcome.
