This is a lovely hotel to stay in. All I would say is to arrange your own transport to and from the airport as it is very expensive if you arrange the hotel to collect you.

We had a family stay, my kids were on different floors but you cannot access these floors as your room card reader would not allow you to go on any floors in the lift apart from your own floor Very annoying. The rooms are tired and need a refit. Room service was not very good we had to ring reception every day to get towels and some days the rooms were only half cleaned. Extractor in bathroom didn’t work so you can imagine what happens there. Staff were nice and polite, the breakfast was ok. The beds are very comfortable.

This hotel has a good position close to the souk and the underground. But it’s not possible to close properly the windows so during the night it’s noisy. I was there with friends and also their windows were badly closed. Staff is nice.

VERY BASIC . NOT 4 STARS

We booked a twin room. We were put in a different room on the 1st night. Only after I complained the room was changed twice the next day. Very chaotic. The room was cleaned at different times every day. some days we arrived and there was no towels. Some days there was 2 towels but no bath mat. Reception service was OK. sometimes nobody answers the phone. The security outside was very pleasant and helpful.

Nice hotel, convenient location 5 mins to metro station. However the immediate area is the old old old gold market with old awfull alleys. Which for Doha standard are among the no so nice remnants of the city before it was ripped appart and renovated rebuilt. Hotel has amazing view from the top terrace restaurant, good 24hour gym, amazing front desk staff, amazing cleaning staff, room windows don't close properly and noise enters. Rooms are good and tv offers smart connection to Netflix prime for free
