Excellent hotel of this class... the staff are very nice they welcome me very warmly and I feel that I am VIP. Front desk staff is very friendly and welcoming.. also fortunately I was upgraded to a double room which has a big space. The room was neat and nice with a good kitchen and laundry that i didn't expect which surprises me, it was really nice to have that. The a...
We spent eight hours at the transit hotel between our very long flight from Sydney and our long flight to the UK. It wasn't cheap, but it was absolutely worth every cent. The hotel was easy to find (stand facing the teddy bear front on, then look left over your shoulder for the elevators) and we were checked in immediately, which meant that we were in the room 20 minut...
Edzan hotel has facilities such as coffee shops, pharmacy, restaurants, etc in-house and we do not need to leave the hotel premises to get what we need. This is an added advantage and convenience.
Everything was great from the hotel location: great and amazing view of the Arabian gulf, cleanliness: housekeeping staff was hospitable (Trio and Joseph), front desk staff were warm and accommodating (Irene, Hafez). Check-in and check-out processing time was fine but card key was not available at check-in. My only issue was for the car parking services, I inquired and...
it was the best staying in Qatar. this hotel good for families and near to all atractive places .the lacation for hotel is excillent.it easy to go to katara orpear island orto waqif soqe.also ,near to city center mall around five minutes walk.little bit far away from flagou mall .
Its good to book in this hotel because of the location and also for the price for five stars hotel . The GYM is too small but good . So, if I have the chance to go back to Doha for sure I will choose this hotel
We spent a night at Banana Island, Doha, this past August. My tenage kids are still wants to go back. We all enjoyed our stay, to say the least. Added to it, was the service inclined team that works in every section of the resport. They attend to visitors with utmost care and attention. Some of the activities requires additional pay to use, thereby adding to cost. It m...
2 night stay on stop over and was very glad to have choose this hotel over the various options available. Rooms are huge and modern with everything you could ever need. What really sets this hotel apart from the others was the service. From the moment we checked in to the time we left the staff were always willing to help with any of our requests and did so with a smil...
GOOD: Airport pick up - Stop by the Oryx counter after baggage claim, and they'll arrange the shuttle to the hotel - From Hotel to Airport, shuttle runs every 30 mins. Room - Bed / Lighting / TV/ All facilities in good working order, very comfortable stay Gym/Pool Modern gym equipment - opens 24/7, good size gym Pool was of good length, you can do good laps but 1/...
I was speechless at the mere sight of the facade of the hotel. It's a 5-star hotel that renders a 7-star amenities and services. The staff showcased unparalleled professionalism and courtesy starting from the receptionist to the crew. A welcome birthday cake was sophisticatedly prepared making me extra special. Every detail of the hotel was perfection beyond expectatio...
The best service I ever had in my life! We're on our transit from London to Doha. So we got 11 hours in Doha, so we decided to book this hotel. We were there early to check in but apparently there's no room for us! But, we got so lucky that the assist. manager and the operation manager were to assist us! The operation manager were the best! He brought us to our room to...
We booked last minute a room from the airport and found a great offer on this hotel but what we didn't except to find was a great room, very spacious with the best view and a very comfortable bed. We slept like babies and we managed to be rested for our flight very early in the morning. Staff was very professional and nice. They let us check in a bit earlier than the n...
This was perfect place for us. As I was delayed in my arrival, my wife with two babies was there alone for 5 days. Personal was so helpful from the second she arrived. No matter what she asked for or needed they helped her with everything. This was definitely one of the best places where I have stayed. Will definitely come back! 5 star from here!
The rooms were massive, i paid a bit more for the executive suite with the bigger size room and bigger bed. Well worth $109AUD/ night. It was $20AUD dearer than the deluxe double $89/night. $1AUD = 2 Qatar Riyal. Uber or taxi to Villagio Mall is 22 Riyal. A walk of 300m to KFC and Jollibee and a large supermarket. In same small mall. Staff were absolutely fabulous a...
i always prefer to stay in this hotel because it has.a complete package. it is affordable, got great location and has kitchenette(thats what im looking for really). but one thing changed it. i booked for my bday and i needed a housekeeping at 12mn. i know its late but im sure its 24/7. so i called the reception and he told me that only 1 housekeeping is available and i...
I stayed here during the Columbus Day weekend. First, the room I booked was not available. So, the gentleman on the front desk gave me another room, which was a suite! far better and roomier than I had bargained for! That was impressive to say the least. The room layout and facilities were impressive: remote controlled lightings, light blocking curtains, some western c...
This group of hotels are built in the Souq Waqif area which is the market area. The location is one of the best in Doha as you can step out from any hotel in the group straight into the market/restaurant area. This is usual in Doha where most hotels are laid out in rows like office buildings in sterile areas where you will need to drive or taxi to any 'entertainment'. ...
We had a great experience with Horizon Manor. In many ways, it is like a five star hotel, but cheap. Beautiful, always clean with fresh towels and a tidy bed, not to mention the best staff there is. They helped you with everything, and even provided free transport to the airport. We booked an ordinary double room, but got a huge room. So amazing! The food was also deli...
We had a very comfortable stay at the Moevenpick hotel in Doha. We could see the Corniche & Museum of Islamic Art from our window and Souq Waqif was a 10 min stroll away. We were welcomed with delicious complimentary snacks in Reception which are served between 5 & 6pm. The room was large, the bed & pillows were lovely and the curtains very thick so we slept well! As w...
Stumbled upon this hotel while looking for a more well known hotels to stay. I was surprised that the facilities and the room (I was assigned) were exactly what I was looking for. It's like a budget 4.75 stars hotel :) Budget means the hallways for the suites are a bit simple and bare, breakfast has only few selections and the indoor pool was small. 4.75 stars was for ...
the hotel is nice and clean and the staff its helpful . and they have taxi from the airport to hotel and the hotel to airport only by 60 QR . and the location is good . i recommend the hotel to booked it .
Hyatt has always been our go-to place whenever we want to have some sort of staycation or throw a party, and this time it was my Birthday Party. We were so lucky to have booked this hotel at a very cheap price through Agoda, with a book-now-pay-later option. Location is excellent, just a stone's throw away from City Center Mall. Upon entry to our unit, it smells fresh,...
La Villa Hotel is centrally located at Doha Downtown and with many attractions surrounded it. It is clean, comfort and nice to stay for those who are looking for a budgeted hotel. Additionally, breakfast provided with a reasonable variety definitely an added point to the hotel.
i stated one night in ths palace - its really hotel palace - facilities so so so good - thx for Ezdan Hotel Palace
We booked a room last weekend April 20-21, 2018 to celebrate the birthday of our friend’s daughter. The location is somewhat not accessible if you dont have a car, but since it is located at the bay side then that’s a plus. We had a smooth time checking in with the help of the courteous staff especially Ms. Hannah, who offered food discounts and membership for Marriott...
Newly opened hotel by renovating previous building. Sister hotel with "La Villa Hotel" and "La Villa Inn". Good value, though the room was small. Many doors, seems like they made now smaller rooms from the original building bigger rooms. What I liked: - The staffs were friendly. - The water kettle was provided in the room and the hair dryer too. Two water bottles were...
I found this hotel in agoda.com. I was in the previous days in another hotel for the same price and I immediately felt the difference. Safir hotel is a great hotel: rooms are big, modern, clean, with nice shower and good complementary kits. There is also at the PH floor a very pleasefull swimming pool and a great gym with all the essential cardio and body building mach...
My (expensive) prearranged airport pick up did not go smoothly so things did not get off to a good start. After email confirmations I was confident I would see a sign with my name on it at arrivals at 00:30 midnight. Annoyingly, I did not. The kind assistant at airport Information desk called the hotel who advised someone would come in about 15 minutes. They did, he wa...

I travelled to Doha for 18days to visit my girlfriend who works out there. I booked this hotel only for a back up in case I could not sleep at my girlfriends apartment. Lucky, I only had to stay 1 night at the hotel. The hotel itself (the reception, life and stairs) is ok, and clean. I never really spoke to the staff there as I was away a lot but they were friendly wh...
When I was there, their refrigerator is not cooling, telephone is not working and microwave is not available so I requested because it in the list of their facilities and good that they gave it as soon as possible. I hope next time they have to check everything and assure that all the appliances or facilities are in good condition before letting the customers to come o...
La Villa Hotel is centrally located at Doha Downtown and with many attractions surrounded it. It is clean, comfort and nice to stay for those who are looking for a budgeted hotel. Additionally, breakfast provided with a reasonable variety definitely an added point to the hotel.
After booking, I later read reviews, most of which were pretty bad, some horrific. I thought of booking another hotel, but in my price range, most had cons and pros, so I decided to take the risk and wait and see. I arrived on an early flight, and at 8am was at the hotel, with check-in time 13.00. I was politely asked to wait and take a lounge seat in the foyer. With...
I booked for this hotel, on arrival the hotel was full and i was upgraded to a better hotel and without any additional charges, that was cool and awesome as the new hotel was 5 star. Great staff and service at both the hotels.
The hotel is very conveniently located in the city center, you can reach it by car, taxi or bus. There is a valet parking and I never had a problem with space, even when we arrived later at night. The parking clerks were very friendly and helpful. The staff is great, right from arrival. Quick check in, very informative briefing at the reception about all the facilities...
Very good hotel, serve my need, food is good, stuffs are friendly and helpful
I'm booking for me and my wife and my kid but I discovered when i reach hotel and apply the booking that you didn't add my child in book although I select familly room so the hotel give me not suitable room only room for 2 adults and I informed by hotel that you did this behaviour with the other because you received money before so I will not book with you again since ...

I would say that for anyone wishing to stay in a smart, clean ,modern hotel with a good standard of customer care, this would be a very good option. The room was spacious ,well furnished including carpet in the rooms .Rooms are clean and had good tea / coffee making facilities (not always to be found in 3 star hotels . Service from housekeeping is Excellent (enough...
The room was not the best I ever had, but staff was extremely polite and friendly. The hotel is relatively close to the main bus station is, compared to Doha prices, quite cheap. Breakfast could be better/more exciting though.. All in all, great value for money.
The rooms were massive, i paid a bit more for the executive suite with the bigger size room and bigger bed. Well worth $109AUD/ night.

i just love the place in all aspects after my bad experience with two other hotels in the past 2 nights.. suck a lovely place, comfortable, clean, quiet, and the service is really nice.. this would definately be the place for all my next visits.. just make sure u book it online cuz the rates r higher if u book at the hotel..
what stood out for me is the cleanliness of the hotel from the time you enter the hotel, its smelling nice and clean. i commend the female receptionist for being so nice and polite; very hospitable. feels like this is my home away from home. Definitely i will recommend this to my friends when they visit Qatar. :)
I had a great time. The room is just perfect for me and my sister who came from Riyadh to visit. The staff is excellent in customer care, very accomodating. Our room was cleaned everyday, wi-fi is available in almost all parts of the hotel. Clean and quiet, we also enjoyed the gym and sauna, unfortunately we were not able to experience the pool since its currently unde...
We needed a place to get showered and change between two long flights and also wanted to be able to roam around the Souk Waqif during the evening/late dinner hours. Hotel has bottled water in room as well as microwave , dishes , fridge and coffee/tea maker. plenty of restaurants within a block and 24 hour food stores(cash only) within a two block radius. We actuall...
The room stood out! Comfortable bed, T&B, and amenities are all new and high quality. The value of money for hotel and free breakfast were the best deal in Doha..The staffs were all polite and professional in their service. Late checkout at almost 3pm was possible and really appreciated, maybe it depends on the availability. Overall stay was great and highly recommend...

From the moment I made the booking until I left the service has been excellent. They really try their best to accommodate customers with late check out, luggage assistance, direction to town assistance, access to spa to change before the flight (useful when one has a night flight)...location convenient with nearby buss stop.

Located in the heart of the city. This Hotel is superb in cleanliness and provides excellent hospitality. Room is very comfortable, neat and modernized. The Hotel is providing with almost every facilities. The attention received from the staffs was impeccable. Believe everything good you read about this charming Hotel. Front desk is exceptionally warm, helpful and hus...
I had great time at this hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They responded immediately to any request. The place is clean all over. Food from the hotel’s kitchen is so good (not the Turkish restaurant though, very poor quality food). The small well equipped gym and the small pool area on the 11th were awesome. Overall, I highly recommend.

It's a decent hotel. I booked two rooms for a family of six. The delux double bed room. The main bed was good. The sofa beds were full of stain and filthy in both rooms. There were no blanket to be used for the sofa bed, we had to request them. Staff were professional. However, we've asked for a ride to the airport and instead of calling one van for us, they trie...
This is an excellent hotel to stay in to experience Qatar. The rooms are very big with queen size (or close to) twin beds in an enormous room with sofa, desk and table. The bathroom is very large too with a very high power shower and separate bath/shower. There is TV with international channels in the room with tea and coffee facilities and plenty of wardrobe space. T...
We had a 20 hour stopover in Doha so booked this hotel to enable us to get some sleep. As a transit hotel it was great value for money with a shuttle bus that picked us up on arrival and a huge suite for a family of 4. The room included great airconditioning, amazing blackout curtains (we slept between 8am-2pm and it felt like the middle of the night), amazing kitchen ...
We booked this apartment to visit my son and his wife who work in qatar and live on the pearl. So it was very convenient to visit them and the local restaurants it is a short walk to the Medina Central with shops , restaurants and local cinemas . The one bedroom apartment was very spacious . Each day they came and cleaned apartments and changed towels. The swimming poo...
It was pleasant stay and would be happy to recommend with other friends. The hotel staff are friendly, courteous and promt. The proximity to the airport is an added value.
Everybody will ask the origin of the strange name "K108". I was told before, "K" is the initial of the owner, a Qatari minister, and "108" is the total number of the rooms. The hotel is totally a nice hotel, with nicely designed. The lobby is beautifully designed with curved ceiling. It was my second time staying in this hotel, the first was in 2013 during a business t...
The manager who helped us solve our issue about booking has spoken to us very calmy and made assure of us. He deserves to be the manager. And even asked if there’s any else they could do to make our stay even more better. The staffs as well are well trained in communicating with guests. I’d like to commend about the breakfast too. Nice food, ambiance and staffs. Our w...

The hotel cleanliness, furneture, staff, breakfast all great. The location is good but in work days the area is crowded and traffic makes it hard to go out or back to the hotel. The gym needs alot of improvment and more bars( you can't train). Also massage area needs improvement. comparing with the price of massage, the place is Too simple.
First the price was good Rooms were very clean but the water tube(shataf) in the bathroom was bad Staff was very friendly and helpful, Mr. Steve at the receptiondesk he was the best . Location of the hotel was very mere for everything . The valet service staff was very friendly and helpful .

Keep up the good work. Thanks.
My first stay to the Rotana City Center was so good ,my flight was through the night so I arrived to the hotel much earlier than the regular check in, but the receptionist did his best to find for me a room , he gave to me the chance to check if the room available was good for me, unfortunately that room was smoke smelly, so I declined .....the manager on duty knew tha...

Let me tell you, this is the best hotel ever. Not because of the facilities or anything but because of the staff. For me the first thing you rate in a hotel are the staff. They are ALL excellent and they all deserve 5 stars! Very courteous, listens to you, very attentive and of course the important thing, they smile at you. Had a very comfortable and lovely stay at th...
Shower The hotel is fantastic in terms of facility, furniture & room space. The location is very good however it is far away from the city centre & airport but this is not a big deal.

She did not apologize when I complained about it, which wasn't a pleasant experience. I will use the hotel again but n...
