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!

Empty promises Hotel

The Hotel is conveniently situated. The service was terrible, as we had a leak in the bathroom and despite multiple calls they never showed up to fix it, changed the room or even gave us a mop.

Beautiful room, ideal location

All the hotel staff were really friendly and very welcoming. They were polite and helpful. The room was good and spacious, only thing negative was that the windows had gaps at the top so there was a lot of draught and road noise, also quite dirty but once mentioned they cleaned it up quickly The room had 2 toilets and the small toilet had a drainage smell so hardly used it. Did mention to hotel staff. The bed was very comfortable and the staff really looked after us when we requested certain things. They also ordered us a taxi to go airport early morning. The hotel is ideally located near the metro station and there’s restaurants nearby along with mosques. I will definitely come back to this hotel again. Thank you central inn for looking after us
