“Just a warning...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

... the online agents seem to describe this as 4 star. By normal standards, it isn't. The build quality isn't great - I could quite clearly hear my neighbours watching television and talking through the rather thin walls, and other doors closing in the hallway sounded like sledgehammers. In addition, for some reason the window-cleaning basket was resting on the ground and its cables were hanging outside my window. It was quite breezy when I was there and the first night I was woken up about five times by them slapping against the window like gunshots. Reception couldn't do much about it at the time and in fact the problem remained (although to a slightly lesser extent) on the second night. No window cleaning witnessed!

The food was ok, although it doesn't have a bar. If budget is of most importance to you, don't write it off. If you're there on business, however, see if the expenses can stretch to one of the bigger hotels.

“Great prints”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

Clean, comfortable and rather old fashioned with some great prints on the wall both in my room and in the public areas. It wasn't a place with any great charm and the buffet dinner was average but as a place to break the flight on the way home from Morocco it served its purpose well.

“An average place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

Qatar Airways placed me here during my 9 hour transit in Doha. The hotel is situated near a construction site, which involved a lot of noise during the whole night. Luckily I had ear plugs. The hotel is neither very bad nor very good, just an average place without character, that could have been anywhere in the world. OK for one night.

“Shocking”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

I arrived there around 6 PM with my girlfriend, the guy at the front desk (He did not know anything about Hotels) asked for our passports and when he saw that the last names are not the same he would not check me in, I was like what whats going on?? he said that because the last names are not the same that means we are not married and I was like ok so what is that mean???? , and I told him that we in America don't have to marry our girlfriends just to get a room at his pathetic Hotel, and even if we were married we don't have to have the last names either!!!!??? he acted as if he knew what he was doing and insisted that he cant check me in, and then he called someone and used a weird language that I did not understand pretending that he is taking to his manager (which am assuming that he is as worthless as his employee), and then hung up the phone and told me sorry cant check you in.
Now this is for people who are planning on visiting that worthless Hotel if you are going there with your significant other make sure that you get married and have the same last names so you can get a room in that pathetic Hotel, or just save yourself the trouble and dont go to this Hotel.
On the other hand the Hotel is located in an area that honestly I was thankful that he did not check me in, no easy access parking,very noisy area,very crowded,very dirty Hotel from the outside,front desk guy looked like he just got out of bed I barely understood what he was saying.

“A comfortable stay at a good price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

Not one of the best experiences but definitely a comfortable stay at well deserved price. The level of services offered in the hotel is nice that hardly leaves any place for complain. We stopped by Royal Qatar for two days and thankfully our stay was comfortable and we loved it. The location of the hotel is certainly something that makes it a good choice. Not very far from the airport and also a number of the attractions can be found in the neighborhood. Our room was a spacious one with a large bed in it. The cleanliness was there and also the staff looked helped. Food was delivered in the rooms only that too tasted delicious. On the whole, if you are going with an expectation of high extent of luxury, you might disappoint yourself but if you look for a comfortable stay at a good price, Royal Qatar is one of the best answers in Doha.
