The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and provides easy access to Doha's attractions.

helpful staffawful chairswasted money

The hotel was very clean. The workers were great and very nice.. Suleman was especially helpful.

I had wrongly presumed this one would be as good as the last. The buffet restaurant definitely needs investment and upgrading, since tables and chairs are awful. The Indian restaurant needs a complete makeover, as there is nothing 5 star about this setting. Being on the all inclusive package was a complete waste of money for sure.

The room was always very tidy. Mr Ravindra was very attentive at all times. The room cleaning was done every day. It was always detailed. The towels were always fragrant, and so were the sheets.

Breakfast organization was not ideal. It was a battle to get seated for breakfast. The seating process seemed disorganized. The staff seemed overwhelmed and unprepared to handle the volume of guests.

Mixed Feelings about this Hotel

limited varietymissing bouncy castles

My visit had some notable issues. The main buffet restaurant lacked variety, offering the same dishes every day. This got quite boring after a few meals. ALSO, the advertised inflatable bouncy castles were nowhere to be found, even after my MANY days. I thought there would be more to do for adults, especially during the evenings, but the entertainment options felt VERY limited and uninspired.
