Central location, good service by hotel staff. The hotel was full of prostitutes, in the bars and roving throughout the floors. If l had known it was this kind of hotel, l would of not stayed here. There was also no internet access in each room, whereby the only place to access the internet was in the lobby. Apart from getting constantly hassled by prostitutes throughout my stay, the hotel was ok. I would say it was a 3 star hotel rather than a 4 star. Unfortunately, l would not wish to stay at this hotel again because of the prostitutues. Might suit some, but not for the majority of others. Certainly not a family hotel.

An active place with much going on on a Thursday evening. Their is entertainment in the lounges and activities going on in the banquet hall seemed to be a wedding. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is gracious, considerate and helpful. The breakfast is not bad and you can find things that you like for breakfast ... suggest the hard boiled eggs though because the scrambled eggs were a little different. Good coffee. Nice pool... forget the gym though its in rough shape.
The gym is in real dis-repair and should be updated with new equipment. Parking is at a premium in Bahrain and it is good to have a place to park ... but don't expect to find your spot again on a Thursday night if you come back late.
The Gulf Gate is in a great location. The rooms are clean. The staff is considerate and friendly.
The pool area is very clean and pleasant. It is a very interesting hotel there is always something going on socially. Like weddings and seems to be a spot where local dignitaries of different communities show up for photo opportunities. The breakfast is decent. Except I would opt for the hard boiled eggs and skip the scrambled. It would be nice if they had some bacon or some better sausage other than vienna canned sausage in the breakfast buffet.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Some great mosques nearby as well as the local souks very close. Many restaurants and entertainment around this area.

Budget Hotel, friendly staff. rooms in poor condition. Beds are hard, linner not washed well or clean. Toilets very old. Hotel is well situated, shopping is nearby. Breakfast is 4 on a scale of 10. Rooms are old and beds need to be more comfortable. hard pillows and mattresses. For the price, it is tolerable for one or two nights. Transport is difficult to get.
Shopping Tip : Walk out from behind the hotel to reach shopping and money changers. It is shorter.

I like the hotel's window view Arabia Gulf.. It had bad news about me. The hotel didn't have camera because a strange person stole my mobile and 120 BD.
I suggest you must be careful of thieves.
Shopping Tip : the hotel is very near the shop but I suggest you can take other hotel.

Very centrally located, very friendly service, good cafeteria and restaurant. Many rooms need renovation, air-conditioner is working good, but filter should be changed. Many rooms have no window in bedroom, only in bathroom. The first floor has noisy rooms, because under you find nightclub and bars. Gulf Gate Hotel is a busy one, located very centrally, its just a few meters from the center and the souk, where you can find everything you need. Specially during Thursdays and Fridays its very crowded. Many people from the neighbour countries come to spend their weekends.
The hotel itself offers a lot of entertainment: Wendys Bar with live music every night, different other bars and nightclubs.
The hotel can be recommended for singles and young couples. For families it is too noisy, although youngsters like the swimming pool.
Travel tip : The souk is just some footsteps away and Gold City is just round the corner.

Overall a nice experience but please downgrade the star rating to three otherwise it might really disappoint the customers.
Nightlife Tip : Hotel next to this has a busy nightlife. I do not remember the name.
