Hotels near City Center Doha mall, Doha

OK, so based on reviews etc decided to stay here even though I am a Marriott Bonvoy loyalty member. Arrived at 6am and was not expecting a room for early check-in but if you don't ask then you will not know. Walked up to checkin counter, no greeting what so ever. Asked if it was possible to checkin early and he said no and that they are totally full. No occupancy left. I said OK fair enough. I said I wanted to pay for breakfast for 2 adults for 6 nights so wanted to go eat breakfast at that time. They said it would be 150 QAR each per day. I said I had an email from the reservations team that it was 115. They said no that was wrong and not sure why reservations would say that. Asked to speak with manager who arrived promptly. Told him that I was told to checkin later at 2pm but wanted to clarify breakfast costs. He told me to sort breakfast costs out direct with restaurant but he said he can give me a room straight away at 6am (even though it was an upgraded room which I know it was not). So for a hotel that was at full capacity that now had rooms available was appreciated. Went to room, left luggage then headed to breakfast to pay for 2 adults. Lady there said it was 150 per couple! So now, 3 different prices but as I got it at the cheapest version I went with that, LOL. OK, so the breaskfast is crap. Cold food sorry to say but really a breakfast spread...more just cold stuff, continental....and you can get eggs/waffles, avocado/toast. Bakes beans cold, halloumi cold, mushrooms on one day stone cold. Me and my wife were vegetarian (no egg either) so limited in options. The managers Anuj and specially Reda did pull it out of the bag and got us hash browns and parathas when we asked but not sure why these sort of options have to be requested. Normally, what you pay is what you get but at 115 each (around £25 each the breakfast is crap). It was only because Expedia was going to re-imburse me that we went for breakfast, otherwise we would have gone to the vegan cafes opposite - Mylk or EverGreens). The rooms, nothing special. Clean but weighing scales not working, TV channels crap and water leaking from shower area into bathroom area so had to block it off with a towel. Location is OK...opposite a good shopping mall, but to be honest I would just pay a little more and stay at the Marriott which is linked to the Mall. Now this is where the pain was. Whenever we wanted to leave the hotel and go to the Gate Mall next door we would have to get off at floor 2, walk across the lobby to catch another lift to get to the ground floor. Our key card did not allow us to go all the way down to the ground floor from our room floor. Security told me to get access from the reception. I asked Mohammed at reception if I could get that and he said that option was only available for long stay guests and because we were there for ONLY 6 nights it would not be possible to arrange that. I told him that was useless and he could not care less

From the moment I booked two rooms in this property I have immediately called them for some requests. I called twice to ask since we will celebrating my sisters birthday. Upon arrival it took so much time for the checkin as it was busy hour we explained to the reception staff that my family will checkin if its okay to make it connecting room but considering I have called prior request to make it connecting room but unfortunately no chance and its quite disappointing . Despite of that this property has a good amenities though.

Travelled with kids to Doha, we really enjoyed staying in this property for 16 nights. Beautiful and clean hotel with wonderful swimming pool and sport facilities. Very spacious rooms with amazing kitchen. The breakfast was good amd lots variety. The club lounge was very nice and great selections of food and drinks. The staff is the best all of them, they do everything to make your stay comfortable and happy. Special thanks to the hotel front desk managers both Mr Ali & Ali (you both made our stay great) much appreciated. Also Gagan from the front desk and Noufal and all his lovely & friendly colleagues at the main entrance (you guys were the best). Will definitely come back again next visit to Doha.

In the past 4 months, I accompanied my children to go abroad for a continuous competition and circled the earth. This apartment hotel in Doha feels the best and most memorable. The room is on the 43rd floor, with a large area of more than 50 square meters. Both walls are floor-to-ceiling windows and the sight is very good. Although it is not close to the sea and is somewhat blocked by the high-rise buildings in front of it, you can still see the Persian Gulf. There are no high-rise buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the other side, the city view and road conditions are unobstructed, and you can also see the National Grand Mosque and the football World Cup stadium. The breakfast buffet is very rich and the environment is very good. I made it myself at noon and evening. I bought the ingredients at Carrefour in the largest local shopping center in a quarter of an hour's walk. I made it with the induction cooker and microwave in the room. It was very pleasant to enjoy the food while enjoying the view from the window. The Voco Apartment Hotel in Doha is the best in all aspects of the 8 hotels in four countries in the past four months.

We stayed 3 days at Sheraton with a baby. The hotel has a great central location, perfect beach and very green big territory perfect for walking. We enjoyed their great service, overall the staff was very helpful, kind and indeed exceeded all our expectations. Many thanks also to Mr. Shiva Bovas, who was making our stay very special, comfortable and pleasant. Also I would like to highlight, that the gym is the best, we have ever seen in the hotels - very big and modern. Thanks a lot, Sheraton Team, we will come back.

I had the most amazing time at this hotel! The staff were so attentive and lovely. It started off a bit quiet but by the end they definitely knew us and made sure we were taken care of to the best that they could do. I throughly enjoyed myself here. Special thanks to Deni (Concierge supervisor) and all of the team including the cleaners too. Thank you all so much, I definitely recommend this hotel! Breakfast was great. Poolside was lovely. Beach was amazing. They even have shisha! Thanks all for a lovely stay!!!! From Safiya (UK)

It was my first to Qatar, really it was very nice stay, the hotel looks great, food is delicious, cleaning is good, hotel staff hospitality is very good specially Ms Norie in the FO desk she was very helpful and smiling all the time, she went above and beyond to meet my expectations, she's a real example of the professional receptionist

During my brief stopover in Doha, I booked this hotel due to its proximity to the airport. While the room and bed were perfect, I encountered issues with the internet, which was non-functional despite repeated requests for assistance. Additionally, the cleanliness of the toilet left much to be desired, possibly due to oversight on that particular day.

Excellent location, with a beach, which leads on to the board walk and the Pearl walk. And also the Venetian area is a few minutes away. Pool area is well staffed and really lovely. Breakfast was extensive, with option to eat outdoors. Room was large, equipped with a kitchenette (microwave and washing machine and utensils.) Which was useful. My room was with a large balcony, overlooking the sea. Was disappointed with the stocking of supplies, has to request a toothbrush and on my third day, housekeeper didn’t leave any shower gel, staff may need extra training on this, however it’s minor and was easily resolved. Also, no fruit or any welcome drink, which was disappointing. However, staff were super polite and helpful. Overall an excellent 3 nights.

Very nice hotel, location is great near to metro station Benmehmoud only 3 min away, swimming pool is great too.
