The hotel is located almost on the outskirts of the city. But the national Museum and the metro are nearby. A double-decker tour bus departs from the metro. It is convenient to walk to the Mina district and Souk Waqif Market from the hotel. They are within walking distance.
The hotel itself is average in all respects. There are pros and cons. The rooms are not bad, but our hair dryer was not working, one of the outlets was broken. And she wasn't superfluous. The iron fork was broken. Yes! Qatar has English sockets, so we need adapters.
They sometimes came to clean the room in the evening. On one of the days, they arrived at about 20 o'clock.
The breakfasts are not particularly varied, but in general you will find something to suit your taste.
The hotel provides vouchers for free passage to the Doha sends beach. Organizes a transfer to it, as the beach is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel. I read below that beach towels were not provided at the entrance to the beach. They gave it to us. And a bottle of water. You can not take a towel from the room to the beach. When you get on the bus, check your bags for towels. A detailed guide to Doha on telegram @letaemsami.
I will try to describe everything in detail:
I must say right away, I did not expect super service from this hotel, because it is quite budget.
I'll just describe all the pros and cons so that you understand what to expect and whether it suits you.
Most of the reviews here are from people who stayed for 1-2 days while in transit
Yes, for a short time this hotel is quite tolerable, you do not have time to notice most of the shortcomings
I do not recommend choosing this hotel if you stay for a week or more.
Beach:
Transfer (bus) to the beach and back every day. At 9:15 they are taken away, at 13:00 they are taken away. Nuances - if a lot of people are recruited, two buses are ordered, the second one leaves at 10:00, at the reception staff sometimes may not warn you about the time for which you were booked, everything needs to be extracted.
You can get to the beach on your own (taxi), as well as free admission, you can also leave whenever you want.
If you are traveling by transfer, before boarding the bus, check the bag for towels from the hotel. You can't take him with you. They don't give you a towel on the beach either, of course it's wild.
We took a taxi to get there, so we took towels from the hotel.
Service:
The cleaning of the rooms is unclear according to what schedule. We arrive from the beach at 13:00, and the room has not been cleaned yet. If you've managed to get out by this time, then it's fantastic.
Towels are taken away, clean ones are either not brought, or they bring little. Employees constantly have to be kicked, there is no way without it
When checking into the hotel, you will not be escorted, they will not tell you where to go and what floor you have, again, you need to find out everything yourself
Number:
The rooms are clean and new. The windows don't open.
The situation - I took a shower, the steam from the water triggered a fire alarm, everyone ran into the room, from security to the police, I had to explain how everything happened. The ventilation did not even take out this, which is a huge minus.
There is no toothbrush or toothpaste in the bathroom, keep in mind.
There is also no bathrobe and slippers
There is an iron, ironing board, hair dryer
By the location of the hotel:
There is a small grocery store nearby (200m), as well as a national park.Qatar Museum(top).
You can walk to Souk Waqif Market. It takes about 12 minutes to walk to the metro station
In general, the city is small, the metro is clear, Uber works perfectly
Food:
We had breakfast and dinner included.
The breakfasts are good, buffet style. the choice of hot is meager.
There should be a buffet for dinner, but there isn't one! They will just bring you soup /salad / hot food with no choice. Whether you like it or not is your problem
If you are going here on vacation, I recommend choosing another hotel
If you are passing through, then it is quite good
The hotel is good, I recommend it if you visit the sights — the hotel is good enough to stay there for a few days. Friendly staff, good elevator, everything is perfect!! 👍
Close to the airport, the Museum of Islamic Art and the Qatar National Museum in Doha. As well as the port of Doha. The metro station is a 10-minute walk away. There is no coffee shop, but you can get a voucher for Doha sands beach.
Nice hotel. A great option to relax with a long transfer in Doha - it is located near the airport and is ready to receive guests around the clock. The rooms are clean and cozy. The breakfast is good enough for a 3-star hotel. The staff works professionally.
Not a big cozy hotel. We were there only overnight. We were waiting for the flight to dock. A clean, simple room. Friendly staff. We left at 5 a.m., lunch boxes with breakfast were prepared for us. Delicious sandwiches and fruits (banana and apple).
We booked standard, it's fine for 1 night. The room is small, the bed is comfortable, the sofa is sagging, the window is darkened, does not open, but the air conditioner worked well. There are no complaints about cleanliness, the second blanket was brought immediately. Breakfast is normal. The receptionists were not particularly kind, we did not understand their English well, but if we asked about something, we repeated it with obvious displeasure.
The National Museum is a 5-minute walk away. And the port can be reached in half an hour.
The room was booked 7 months in advance according to the description with a view of the bay. Upon arrival, it turned out that the room was the cheapest with a view of the inner wall, and they admitted that the descriptions of the rooms had been changed, customers were not warned. No apologies. Replacement only for money. When asked about early check-out and breakfast, they replied that, in fact, breakfast is a gift!! therefore, those who leave early without breakfast at all. They asked in advance about the currency exchange, they answered that it was nearby. It turned out that about 2 km to go in one direction. Three times!! they asked me to bring a second blanket. On the third reminder, they brought a separate blanket and a separate duvet cover (you need it, you fill it up). Advice to those who spend the night because of the transfer: Qatar Airlines do not give luggage at any connections, book another hotel, or take toothbrushes in your hand luggage, there are none in this hotel!!
A new budget hotel.
Nearby there are museums, the embankment, the cruise port.. It took 10 minutes by taxi from the airport.
The metro is 800 meters away on foot
There is little choice for breakfast.
