Stayed here for 5 days and was amazed at everything, simply the best hotel I have stayed at. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms and whole building was very clean. I really the enjoyed the breakfast too. Will stay here again next time when in Doha. The location is very central too easy access tor metro and exploring the souq.
Amazing view from elevator.

The room was clean and comfortable. And a big breakfast was available up on the rooftop. Staff service everywhere was excellent and Aira at reception was warm and efficient, making my late night check-in smoothe and fast.

The room was in a good condition when I arrived and the staff were very polite and helpful! The only bits of feedback I have are around the breakfast options! The breakfast options, while there are many are also very limited. I stayed for 6 nights and I only had a proper full breakfast for 1 day. They should think of maybe having a specific cuisine per day and basing their menu for the breakfast buffet on that as well as ensuring the temperature of the food is sufficient through having better food warmers. However, all staff that I encountered during this stay were so helpful. They practically saved my life when I had an allergic reaction and they ensured I was able to access medical care swiftly, so a huge shoutout to the security team at Central Inn! Reception staff and housekeeping were also so incredibly helpful as well as the bell hops and restaurant staff. Another piece of feedback is that our keys had constantly stopped working while we were there which required frequent trips to the reception to get the keys reset. Although this process is very swift, it was an inconvenience as it meant I had to constantly go downstairs to reception to have keys reset and reconfigured. As well as this, it would be great if they had the room numbers printed on the key card as this would make it easier for myself as I would sometimes carry the key cards of others in my group. Overall a 7/10 from me. Great hotel!

Shuttle was not free, i was under the impression when it says shuttle included means its included. But they charge extra for it. I didnt take the shuttle, took metro and walk to hotel. Breakfast was alright. Its was very close the Souq Waqif. Neat and clean, staff was very nice. Thank you all

I stayed at Central Inn Souq Waqif during my recent trip to Doha, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice—especially for travelers who want both comfort and convenience without breaking the bank. The location is unbeatable. Just a few minutes’ walk from the lively Souq Waqif, it gave me easy access to all the sights, smells, and sounds of traditional Qatari culture. Whether I wanted to shop for souvenirs, explore the market’s winding alleyways, or grab a bite of local food, everything was right there. The room was clean, spacious, and surprisingly well-equipped for a mid-range hotel. The bed was very comfortable, the AC worked perfectly (which is essential in Doha’s heat!), and I appreciated the reliable Wi-Fi. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it delivers exactly what you need for a relaxing stay. One big plus was the friendly staff—always polite and helpful. They assisted me with directions, arranged transport when I needed it, and offered great local recommendations. Overall, Central Inn Souq Waqif is a great choice for travelers looking for affordability, comfort, and a prime spot in the heart of Doha. I’d definitely stay here again!
