Location The Gulf Gate Hotel is ideally located in central Manama, the commercial centre of Bahrain. A mere 10 minutes drive from Bahrain International Airport, the hotel is just 2 minutes walk from the main souk and shopping centres.
Rooms Gulf Gate Hotel With its charming Arabic elegance offers 125 rooms and suites most with the panoramic view of the Arabian Gulf. All rooms are beautifully designed and impeccably appointed with standard amenities.
Restaurant During the evenings, witness world-class entertainment of dance and music at the nightclubs and discotheques with artists from all over the world. Open 24 hours a day, is the Al Qabawa Coffee Shop serving a wide variety of food and beverages.
General Reflecting a classic blend of traditional and modern decor, Al Sultana is the perfect choice for the most elegant of social gatherings or as highly flexible conference and exhibition area. An ideal place to relax and meet friends and business associates, is the games room with pool tables and a bar that serves a large variety of beverages and snacks.
It's right at the center of Manama, just a few hundred meters from Bab al-Bahrain and the souk. The hotel staff are very helpful, there's a very inviting pool, and the buffet is quite good. They also have a carpark, which is very convenient, as it's difficult to park in this area of Manama. The rooms are enormous and clean. As all hotels in Bahrain, it's not a cheap place, but it is probably good value.

The hotel came with several recommendations so it made for an easy choice. The warm welcome - didn't happen. No one even offered to carry our luggage to the room! No mini bar available! If you end up on the first floor and it is a weekend be prepared not to sleep until after midnight as it is noisy. Information on what to see in Bahrain from the main desk - not helpful. Swimming pool was cold. No where to go for a pleasant alcoholic drink!

Excellent location right in the heart of the city. A bit tired decor wise, so a few cigarette burns in carpets etc, but it was very cheap.
Breakfast was reasonable, so for a budget stay it was fine
