We had a wonderful stay at the hotel and truly enjoyed our time there. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, polite, and always ready to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. The atmosphere of the hotel was calm and pleasant, making it easy to unwind after a long day. We also appreciated the quality of service and attention to detail throughout our visit. Overall, our experience was very positive, and we would happily stay here again and recommend it to others.

The hotel itself is good and the staff was very helpful with the problems of the Ehteraz app. The only bad part, and this will be fixed in a few years, is the area is a huge construction zone. It's nearly impossible to walk to the metro station or souk or waterfront because the roads are blocked off, torn up, barricades, fences and construction equipment everywhere. In fact the whole city seems to be under construction. It will be good once it's finished but right now I would not stay in this area.

Perfect stay

Everything was perfect. The front desk staff was so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I was really impressed with the service! The location was great! It was easy walking distance to the Souk and the Islamic Art Museum. Very comfortable room. Complimentary tea in the lobby is delicious. Actually really loved the toiletries in the room! I would absolutely stay here again.

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und immer bemüht, uns einen tollen Aufenthalt zu gewährleisten. Nur leider war das Hotel sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Schimmel an der Decke, eine defekte Klospülung und ein abgeklebtes Fenster (kaputt), sind nur kleine Beispiele hierfür. Im Speiseraum wurden die Tische unter den Glasplatten noch nie gesöubert. Es ist teilweise wirklich sehr dreckig und man ekelt sich.

Smart hotel, excellent location

Helpful, friendly staff with an excellent free airport service.. Good size, smart room with a view to the sea in the distance. Breakfast reasonable including a cooked omelette, evening buffet OK at a reasonable price. You can't really get away from the TVs as they have 7 of them in the dining room but they will turn the sound down if requested. Nice pool area on the top floor. One unusual feature is that a small mosque is just below the hotel on the sea facing side so you can listen to the Imam calling the faithful to prayer at 5am, lunchtime, afternoon and evening which I enjoyed. Excellent location situated a few minutes walk from the sea front promenade, the souk (good selection of restaurants), the Museum of Islamic Art (sensational) and the Qatar National Museum (opens late March 2019).

Adequate, but not 4 star quality

Hotel is fine, but not up to par with the quality you'd expect with 4 stars. Shower had some mold, towels were thin and small, bedding had a small cigarette burn, etc.. Nothing that ruined the stay, but there are lots of other options in the area if the small details matter to you. That being said, wifi worked well and if your flight aligns with the hotel shuttle schedule a free airport transfer is always appreciated.

Good Hotel for Long Layover.

We stayed here on a 12 hour layover - it's a 10 minute walk to the Museum of Islamic Arts and only 20 minutes from the airport (they have a free shuttle every 2 hours). It's in an area with a bunch of other hotels and not much else, but a cheap/quick Uber ride can take you anywhere in the city. It was a good and affordable place to stay for such a short amount of time.
