“Fancy and overall nice hotel, but some things need to be improved...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

person found this review helpful

It's very nice concept hotel, a lot of good restaurants and bars.It has been considered a Doha "place to be" since it's opening, plus with Pearl island being dry now that leaves even less options for expats and visitors to have some quality time in Doha- makes W even more attractive spot i guess.
Me and group of friends tried Wahm for a farewell party and it was not particular welcoming, they kept pushing 2000 QAR (or 5000 QAR) minimum spending for bottles thing, and am pretty sure me and our big crowd spent twice as much at the end but the way we were approached by not very professional staff was a bit annoying and insulting. Lack of flexibility and empowerment was obvious to us. Then our order got completely messed up, we got 2 steak baguetts instead of 4 initially ordered and it took another hour to get the rest of order. Just to mention we were kicked out to the new area behind the building with no heaters and it was a pretty chilly night. We had two girls in the party in short sleeves dresses that got cold the next day. Very poor service for a 5 star hotel lounge I should admit. I don't think me and my friends will be back to the place, pity as it used to be much better before.
Hotel room is of nice design, beautiful bathroom, nice room amenities including Nespresso machine was a big plus. Requested a tooth brush- arrived within 3 minutes, bravo!
The minus- surprisingly uncomfortable bed, I tried to find a "golden middle" and failed.. if you have a problem with your back - consider another hotel . Mattress felt not even and not very supportive, in the morning felt far from being rested.Plus could not close the curtains till the end so some light from the window was also a bothering factor.
Breakfast in Market restaurant was great! Did not notice if there was an egg/omlet station, but may be it was done on request. Overall variety is fantastic, pastries are excellently baked, salmon is delicious, very good atmosphere and pleasant back ground music. Well,jar coffee could be better, but it's pretty bad in all the hotels, I guess it gets brewed well ahead breakfast starts so can't really taste great when you arrive at 8 am.
Just last thing- sushi are definitely the best in the city here.My favorite outlets are Spice Market and Market restaurant on the lobby level. Great food and service! Hopefully it will stay that way!

Most outstanding hotel in the hub of Doha. Great rooms with view/facilities and personal room service and cleaning - just great! Modern, clean and clearly destined to be a favourite with visitors to this lovely part of the ME! Close to main shopping mall of the city which is good as anywhere in the world with very courteous people wherever you go!

Room Tip: Try to get a view of the port/West Bay lagoon...what a view! The higher the floor the better the vi...

“W DOHA HOTEL CRYSTAL LOUNGE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

I have been to Doha like 5 month ago and I recommend crystal as the best club in doha due to services and quality of people and hospitality. Music is variant in every night always playing the best hits. And you can feel the difference in management between all other clubs due to the proffessionality of the staff.

“The most perfect place in Doha”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012 via mobile

I have no comment about W Hotel. Its simply amazing. From the moment when you come in untill you check out, you will be completely satisfied with everything there. There is international staff, very nice people and the guests are proms, like Antonio Banderas, many sportist etc.Everything is perfect and thats why the hotel is one of the top hotels in Doha and the prices are high. The restoran Spice market is amazing. The supervisor of the restaurant -Mimi is the best you can meet . The club is great, super quality music, and the other bar on the top of the roof is also a great place to have some drink and have fun with top djs. Dont miss this hotel if you go to visit Doha. AMAZING

“Nice hotel but maybe it s era is over..?!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

W was for sure ver nice..there s this cool loungy mood to the W concept all over the world, however am not sure how Cool a hotel should look like,
the lobby, enterance, interior design looks really nice,a bit dim and dark if you ask me,and not inviting and it s full of staff, different positions all wearing black looking smart , 5 star, but eventually you end up carrying your own bag up to your room!
nevertheless very friendly, we kept the room until 16:00 the day of the check out which was very convenient.
room itself is nicely done, bathroom products , BLISS, very good. Coffee machine in the room..so no complains.
restaurant also was fantastic, nice and lively ..some excellent outlet, coffee shop you can find..
so over all, a good choice.

Hello carlaDubai,

Thank you for the review, we were pleased to hear that overall you enjoyed your time with us.

I have to apologise for the incident with your luggage, we certainly don't expect our guests to carry their own bags.

In regards to the lighting, there is two very distinct feels to the hotel. During the day the hotel feels alot more open and light, however in the evening we do like to turn the lights down, so I am sorry it was not to your taste.

Thanks again for the review, please let us know when you will next be visiting the hotel.

All the best,

The W Doha
