Thanks for all the advice.
The Gulf Hotel is owned by the family of a very dear friend of mine.
The unfortunate thing about the hotel, is that it used to be on the water-front and had a lovely beach.
However, as the Bahraini Government decided to dredge land from the sea, the hotel lost it's water-front positioning.
There are photos, and a book, all about it, not far from the Reception desk I'm told.
There really isn't a huge amount to do in Bahrain, but it's fine for a weekend - although Muscat is nicer and with better hotels.
