Quaint, chic and charming - located within an old souq, incorporating the architectural elements of courtyards, thatched roofs and mud walls, the hotel is an idyllic retreat offering easy access to the beach and vibrant cafes and restaurants that now occupy the souq. Offering privacy, all the modern amenities, an exquisite onsite restaurant and multiple relaxation spaces, this is a definite bucket list destination.

A beautiful hotel in a great quiet location. Cleaning staff were friendly and eager to help if needed. I was offered a quite room in ideal location, thank you for that. My bathroom was big and comfortable. Pool area and areas for relaxation next to the lobby are nice and peaceful. If you want to stay away from the hassle of the city, Souq Al Wakra is your place..you can either wonder around the old market or stroll along the beach. Plenty of cheap places to eat around. Very authentic.

Pillows and mattress were a bit uncomfortable for my liking. Not sure what happened a day before my departure but staff removed my bath robe and didn't replenish water. It would also help if you change towels, some of mine were so worn off which is not acceptable for a five stars hotel.

Nearly everything was top quality. The hotel itself boasts a beautiful architecture based on traditional Qatari courtyard houses. The room was beautifully decorated with lovely marble flooring and beautiful mud-like walls and false timber ceiling. The staff are courteous, helpful and friendly. There's often free Arabic coffee at the reception where you can help yourself to a cup as you wait for help, a taxi or your valet. Beautiful touch of Arab hospitality. The hotel itself is pretty much part of Souq Al Wakra. Once the sun sets, make sure to make your way down the promenade for an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes, little shops and everything in between. At one time during breakfast, I heard Fairuz's Zahrat El Mada'en playing on the restaurant speakers. Made my day as a Palestinian. This is an establishment which stands on the right side of humanity and history, as does most of Qatar for that matter. PS: The England football team stayed at this hotel during the 2022 World Cup. You'll see their signed shirts and photos up in one of the courtyards.

I've stayed at other five-star hotels around the GCC which had a far better breakfast offering, both in quality and variety. I was surprised at how little Arabian/Arab breakfast items were available at the buffets. You really only had what appeared to be canned hummus. Real shame.

The breakfast was awsome so so good. And made to order omelettes and waffles by chef Rosemary. She always had a smile. I have to say I really liked Lina greeting me by name each morning. The staff from the reception to house keeping to security to the spa staff, Ruby Ann and Boity. They treated us like queens. I felt so safe, and they gave good suggestions about where to go buy in the souq and get the best deals. The buggies where awsome and their other restaurant Azerbaijani had the best lamb chops o have ever tasted and the Mocktails that they made woooo I dream about them. Honestly this was top tier vaccination spot right by the beach to be able to see the sunrise each morning. It was perfect Each time I fly through Doha and I have a long layover I will come out and stay here and have been recommending this hotel to everyone I know.

That I stayed such a short time

We had a wonderful stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful, great service attitude. Rooms were beautiful, clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good. Location was perfect, not in the city but close to the city and the beach and restaurants in the area. When laying at the pool the staff came with cold water and cold towels to cool down in the heat. Our flight was scheduled late in the evening so the staff was kind to arrange a late checkout, shower facilities and changing rooms etc so that we could freshen up and repack before heading to the airport. Before leaving we had the most amazing spa treatment and got to use the lovely hydra pool and steam room. An extra thank you to the amazing staff: Wapang in the reception who helped us with the late checkout, Viraj at the pool for taking such good care of us, Anne at the spa who was so kind and did the relaxing treatment and last but not least Peter and Enock who helped with our luggage!

Wish we stayed a bit longer!

Breakfast, service and location were really good. Very family friendly hotel and staff were amazing at helping us with excursion bookings and anything else we needed. The staff are a real credit to this hotel.

Only a small niggle but the mattress was too soft and pillows were like clouds. For people with back problems this can be a slight issue, but I'm sure if pointed out the hotel staff could change things. Having said that, only I struggled a bit but the rest of my family loved their beds. It was hard to get them out of the beds in the morning. So not a major issue.

Exceptional service I felt like I was at home with the hospitality I experienced. If there was an option to give above five stars I would. The entire staff couldn’t have done more for me. The care was so personal and everything was always taken care of. Kutub looked after my room service which was always above 100 % and Hassan was always taking care of things when I was leaving or coming back after a day out to make sure everything was perfect for me. I really appreciated it. I am always very particular with my needs while I am on holiday and honestly the entire staff and management here exceeded my expectations and I never had the words to describe how grateful I was. I am also vegetarian and the breakfast food as well as restaurants on site always had nice food available.

Wonderful staff two were very hospitable, patient, and diverse from many different cultures which is amazing to see. The location was great. Walking distance to shopping, food and the beach. Loved the spa facilities and Bouti was phenomenal! I really appreciate the security provided by the hotel especially while traveling alone. I felt really safe taking a stroll in the evening. Also the room service exceeded my expectations. Overall fantastic experience and would love to bring family and friends back 😊.

The noise of some sort of construction while trying to rest in my room during the day.

Such a refreshing change from the usual high rise hotel! This hotel is single storey with bedrooms set around beautiful, tranquil courtyards, some with fountains, one with a lovely pool and palm trees. From the breakfast courtyard, you can see through to the sea. We even saw camels being ridden past one morning. Breakfast buffet was excellent - wide choice and very fresh. From the hotel, you can walk straight onto the sea front where there are plenty of other restaurants and cafes. The souq is adjacent, although it often seemed closed. All the hotel staff were very pleasant and efficient. We would love to return.

Nothing!

We loved this great hotel in old souq area, like living in authentic qatari houses close to the beach, away from noises & traffic from downtown area. Pool was warm even in January, food was delicious on our half-board (2 restaurants), staff was beyond friendly (thank you Kay our daily spark of sunshine). Uber to downdown costs about 25 qar, some days we took also bus&metro combo (very fast, easy & almost free to use, after getting a metro card). There is a boardwalk next to hotel by the seaside lined with cute cafes and restaurants.
