While this is not a luxurious experience, for a long-term stay in Doha I would highly recommend Somerset West Bay. I stayed here for 6 months last year on a work assignment. It was clean, comfortable, everything worked right, the view was great as was the location. Also, the staff was so friendly, helpful and professional. I really had no... More

We had the three bedroom suite and that was very spacious. When you look at the details, the kitchen is nowhere near pretty for use, and the bathrooms/ toilets have broken parts. For example the sink was shaking if you touched it, and leaking water. For the price paid, it was too much I think. If you do not need... More

I spent 6 weeks in Doha in Jan 2011, and found the Somerset to be a very good apartment. There is not a great deal in Doha at present and this block is of very good quality. The included breakfast is adequate, not over the top with choice, but sufficient, and of good quality, none the less. The apartments themselves... More

In summary What is good about it: 1) The staff at the front desk are polite and helpful 2) There is an onsite maintenance and engineering team to fix all the problems 3) On site gym is functional 4) Pool is...

When we arrived in our 3 bedroom unit, we looked around the unit and inadvertantly turned off the switch. After a couple of cold showers, we figured... More

If you are a smoker, you'll love it. There are no smoke-free rooms or floors. Unlike other reputable hotels in Doha, the small restaurant has a smoking section even though the regulations ban smoking indoors. Other negatives: - very dark rooms. The glass is heavily tinted so you'll need the lights on all day no matter how sunny it is... More

Large apartment with very comfortable rooms. Nice indoor pool as well. City Centre Mall is walking distance. More

The service is excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. There is no wireless and the rooms needs improvemement (it is an old hotel, as old as one can be in Doha). But over all for the money they charge, the value is really good. More

This is a serviced apartment hotel, so one gets the best of both worlds -- a real kitchen and large living room, plus daily maid service and 24/7 staffing. The rooms are spacious and modern with ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom; the linens are of a higher quality than I had expected. Okay selection on cable (flat screen TV in... More
