“Disappointment”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2011

My wife and I spent 4 Days/3 Nights in this hotel. We paid online for our reservation. It was supposed to be a 3 Stars hotel. However, we were disappointed when we saw the hotel because it looks like 2 Stars hotel or less. The toilet flush was out of order the first day but it was fixed the next day. We noticed that everyday after 6 AM noises of slamming doors can be heard which forces us to wake up, hence, ruins our sleep.

“Good hotel with affordable prices”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

The hotel is located in the old city area of Doha, Qatar. It is a little bit difficult to find for taxi drivers cause they have a sistership hotel with an almost similar name which causes a bit confusion. All sightseeing spots, i.g. the Islamic museum, clock tower etc. can be reached on foot. However, the old city of Doha is a bit noisy. If you are looking for leisure you should better prefer the expensive hotels located in the modern district of Doha. I arrived after midnight and the staff was very friendly. The rooms were very clean and functional but small. Unfortunately they gave me a smoking room. WLAN was available in the public area. They also had internet for free within the lobby. However, as Doha is a very cost intensive city this hotel is very high recommended for people with a low budget.

“Expensive and Crowded Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2010

Stayed at this place for two days and must that it is all in all a very functional hotel for business use. I would not recommend it for leisure. Situated in the middle of market place, it tends to be noisy.

“Much more than a budget hotel - delivers much more than you pay!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2010

Finding the hotel could be one of the tricky tasks and google maps mis-calculated the location and took us to another street, however after some searching we managed to reach this hotel at the end of an alley. Booking.com stated it was a 3 star hotel, but from the looks of it, I would say it is a 2 star hotel and it delivers much more than what you paid for. The bell boy was very kind and gave us a nice welcome by helping with the bags. The lobby is pretty small, but elegantly designed for Arabic style. Much before coming to the hotel, I was anticipating a completely shabby place for 200 QR a night, however I was surprised with what I got.

The lifts are pretty old, but the hotel seems to be renovated. The carpets looks clean and the rooms fit to be named at least a 3 star one. There is a large wardrobe with an in-room safe (which I didn't use as it was locked - maybe by an earlier guest) and iron + ironing board. In the middle east it is difficult to find a hotel for 200 QR/AED which has such amenities. The room has a 32" LCD TV with quite a many channels mainly catering to Arabic speaking people, but also has CNN, BBC etc.

The toilet has a nice comfortable shower tub, but it was stained in a few place so I didn't use it and only used the standing shower in it. The toilet was large and very spacious with a hair dryer and clean white towers. I was starting to feel that the place might be a dream. The same kind of hotel in Dubai or Oman would be double the price. The bed is nice and soft making a good night sleep possible. Also broadband wired internet was provided in the room. Isn't it a great deal?

My complaint about the room was basically the lighting was very bad and not suited for business travellers, even though the facilities indicated that the place could be a business hotel.

The access card stopped working a couple of times during my stay (same with my colleague) and I learn from the front office that whenever the master key to open your room by the housekeeping staff, the access card already programmed becomes invalid and needs to be reprogrammed. This got a bit annoying after a while.

The hotel has limited parking spaces, but on all occasions I managed to get a decent parking space. The parking is basically an open area parking and the staff allow you to park in the handicapped parking spaces if there are no spaces available. In total I think the hotel has 5-6 parking spaces.

There are no restaurants around if you would walk around. However if you can keep walking for at least 15 minutes you can reach Souq Wakif which has some fabulous multi cuisine restaurants and really worth the long walk.

The breakfast in the hotel is really terrible and mainly caters for Arabic people having some weird items. Even my Arabic colleague didn't like the breakfast. The only life saver here could be the omlette they would prepare for you. Also the breakfast has bread, jam, butter along with cereals and juices which is just enough to survive till afternoon where you can have a hearty meal at some of Doha's many restaurants away from the hotel.
