lovely spacious rooms (I had 218) and a very well prepared breakfast buffet. Also you can indulge yourself at lunch at their buffet. The swimming pool is smal and wireless not that fast but overall a very good hotel to stay.

Very helpful, friendly, professional staff. Good size rooms, cleaned daily. Excellent food available from the restaurant. As to be expected, food and accommodation is not cheap in this part of the world. would definitely stay at this hotel again

Firstly I would agree with other reviewers, the hotel rooms are comfortable, the staff in general were friendly and helpful and the bar and restaurant, whilst small were both of a good standard.

My issue is simply with the reservations and booking procedure.

I booked to stay at the start of December with a colleague for 2 nights (total of 4 nights). Due to the numerous events in Doha the room rate was high and a 14 day cancellation policy was in place. I had no intention of cancelling and booked a room rate that did not require advance payment, and used my credit card to hold the room.

However when I have reviewed my credit card bill, I find that exactly 14 days before my stay the full amount - of 4 nights accomodation has been charged to my credit card, without permission or any authority.

When I check out of the hotel, I am charged the full amount again. So at this stage I have now paid twice for my accomodation. My colleague had to spend 20 minutes at the front desk trying to check out as the hotel could not manange to understand that someone else had paid for the room, and nearly missed her flight.

I have spent the last 3 days trying to resolve this with the hotel, but with no apology or explanation and only after several emails have they now explained that it will take a further 2 weeks to refund the initial " deposit" back onto my credit card.

So in summary - they have charged my credit card for 4 nights accomodation - before I even arrive in the hotel, again at the point of check out and I will only receive a refund after 2-3 weeks - so in total they have had my money for up to 5 weeks!

I have never heard of anything like this in any hotel anywhere in the world! If you make a reservation using a credit card to hold the room, surely it should only be charged if you cancel the room inside the cancellation policy?

I am now in the situaiton where I am $1500 USD out of pocket and no idea when I will get a refund.

I will certainly never stay in this hotel again as a result of this nightmare.

I stayed Moevenpick Doha for some 10 days last month, confirming that the hotel remains the best business hotel in Doha. We can drink here. Because the hotel is small, the staff is always available for offering any help. The restaurant is small, but the food is very good. The pool/gym is also small, but it is functional. The room is, howeve, big and very clearn. The staff is very friendly. Close to major sites in Doha. So how can I complain?
