The service is the worst I have ever experienced in a 5 star hotel. Car pick up didn’t show up at the airport (they gave me a complimentary drop off). The butler never answer any calls. Cigar lounge is great but it seems they have only one lighter. Italian restaurant staff looked as if they have another job. Stunning hotel and rooms but management needs to change, immediately.

Dear Mr Massoud, Ramadan Mubarak!Thank you for taking the time to share your experience following your stay with us. At the outset, please accept my sincere apologies for the less-than-ideal experiences you had. From the beginning, we did not start your stay off on the right note, with the missed limousine transfer and following that the lack of responsiveness from the team, and the general subpar service standard you have received during your stay. As custodians of this iconic hotel, we take pride in providing our guests with the highest standards of hospitality and I can see how everything you experienced was unbecoming of us and was less than representative of what is expected when visiting a Raffles Hotel. We admit that we have further refinements to put our best foot forward in terms of our product, services and processes; hence we have used learnings from your feedback to ensure that we move forward from here and represent ourselves better from here onwards.We have since reached out to you personally and we hope that you would provide us with the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Thank you once again for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us and we look forward to hearing from you.Warm regards,Bernd KnaierActing General ManagerRaffles Doha

If you’re as hesitant as I was when booking Raffles Doha from the few reviews and higher price tag compared to other high end hotels in Doha, let me save you some trouble and say this is nothing short of the most luxurious hotel you could possibly stay in, it is worth every penny. I did the Burj Al Arab in Dubai recently, and Raffles Doha is just as, if not more, of a luxurious experience. To me, it has set a new standard of luxury that I’m sad to say I will struggle to find elsewhere. The design is shockingly beautiful, everything from the grand lobby with it’s “forever ceiling” (my words, not theirs) where everyone immediately stops and takes pictures, to the blue cigar lounge where one can find rare books and cigars (plus a secret room, if you ask nicely), to the elevators which have a super comfortable seat (never seen this!), to even the back of the building where people have afternoon tea. Every corner of this place makes you feel as if you are in a middle eastern palace. I could talk about this for ages, but just look at the pictures of the suites and know it’s even better in person. What also stood out was how serious they take privacy and the extremely high level of service from everyone involved from the moment you step in the door. For example, check-in happens inside your suite for your comfort AND we were shocked to find out if you get a spa service, you quite literally get an entire spa (sauna pool cold room), gym, and service room all in a private area f

최고의 호텔입니다^^
세계 여러 좋은 호텔들을 가봤는데 단연코 라플스 도하가 넘버원이었어요. 정말 멋지고 판타스틱한 호텔입니다. 하룻밤 머무르기에는 너무 너무 아쉬운 호텔입니다. 호텔의 모든 곳곳이 세심하고 멋지게 디자인되어있어요. 룸안의 모든 제품들이 고급스럽고 멋집니다. 호텔에서 바라보는 전경 또한 예술입니다. 다음에 가족들이랑 꼭 다시 방문 하고 싶은 호텔! 라플스 도하 꼭 기억할께요
