“Polite staff let down by lack of investment/interest !”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2009

I stayed for 3 nights in the last week of March 2009.

It can do with lots of improvements mainly if the management had the will in my view. The staff were in a way slow but polite and tried to help but I think the amount of investment in the hotel is letting them down.

My bathroom had a broken bidet hose pipe and I had to wait 2 days for it to be fixed; the a/c gave out a burning smell after I had stopped it because I had a cold and felt cold and was told that the remedy was to keep it on!

The bed was very hard and there was no change of beds/linen etc throughout my stay and the room fridge was basic. The furniture does need some refurbishment too.

The food was good and good service in the restaurant.

It is essentially a low cost motel run on minimum cost and therefore three stars is a too much for it. Turns out that some of its business is related to new medical personnel working at the nearby Hamad Medical City but it seems they are not in the mindset of competing with others.

“Im Civilised get me out of here !”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2007

people found this review helpful

I should have known better when the Taxi driver at Doha did not know the hotel!.
On arrival the hotel reeked of curry (not good after an overnight flight) and the desk staff were downright rude.
Getting to my room did not improve matters as the place was a mess. As the previous review said, the room was shabby to the extreme with torn, worn carpets, peeling wallpaper and the worst bed linen I have ever seen. 70s DSS dosshouses were better than this!. Oh and it is right a third of the TV was porn!
I could not wait to get out of there and will never, ever go again.
Think twice before risking it.

“Shabby Shezan”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2006

people found this review helpful

Despite claiming to be in the city centre the above hotel Shezan is some 6-8 kilometres away - in a dusty suburb with lots of construction nearby. Also the photographs and description on websites bear little resemblance to what I found. I turned up at this hotel to find it very run-down - torn carpets, dingy corridors, musty-smelling rooms with cheap ill-fitting bed-covers, mismatched old furniture, droopy light-permitting curtains, peeling paint, stairwells cluttered with mattresses and chairs, no lifts, a third of the channels on the tv were soft-porn, etc. It is certainly not of 3-star standards, more like 2-star though the price is not.

I felt uncomfortable and unsafe enough to check-out immediately after getting to my room - my first time ever in a lifetime of travel - and am still seeking a refund given the misleading advertising. In my haste to get out of there I forgot to take photos to prove my point. I soon found a better hotel, a true 3-star, in the city centre - which is about 15 minutes away from Shezan by taxi. Its price was about the same, plus it included a hearty breakfast (which the Shezan did not) and saved me lots of time and a small fortune on taking taxis given it was walking distance to the souks, corniche, museums, fort, etc. So you can do better in Doha for less than the Shezan. If you have no choice but to stay there, please don't forget to take photos to add to this site.
