"The property was absolutely beautiful! Inspired by ottoman and mongol architecture, the hotel was like a palace! Views were beautiful and a feast for the eyes. We were upgraded to a premium room and was lovely for me and my family. Everything was brilliant, however more choice at breakfast would have been nice ans more of a staff presence by the poolside would be appreciated. The sunbeds look worn, and have seen better days. Turn down service was great and a credit to the hotel. Lovely overall...

Top Doha Festival City Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Doha

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel and amazing staff! Great fitness facilities."

The Chedi Katara Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

The St. Regis Doha

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are a real credit to the hotel! Those at Vine restaurant (Yoonus, Alma, Basit, Jacqueline), Faith at Astor Grill, Amine at guest relations, Thesse at Sarab Lounge. Gabriel at the front entrance! What an amazing bunch of people. Nothing was too much for anyone! The food was of top quality, breakfast was absolutely fantastic and the surroundings were lush! There is a mixed gym and female only gym available which was very welcome and sauna, steam room available in the changing areas of the gym. The Butler service was an awesome added touch where 2 pieces of clothing were ironed on a daily basis. Checking was seamless. Nadine was super helpful. Room was large, lots of amenities. An issue with rowdy guests making noise in the night was resolved very quickly. A fantastic stay overall. Don't just think about coming to the hotel, book it!"

Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay

8/10 Good

"The rooms are big and spacious, with beautiful décor. Each room has its own walk-in dressing room with plenty of storage space. The breakfast was good, although the service can be slow after around 9:30am, especially at weekends. The SPA facilities are good, but they are spread across four floors, which can be quite inconvenient. The swimming pools are also all 1.5 metres deep, so they are not really suitable for young children. Half board includes breakfast and dinner. Dinner is from 5pm to 11pm, with a set menu rather than a buffet. This is a great option, as the food is excellent. You can choose between Latin American cuisine on the 5th floor and Chinese cuisine on the 44th floor. The front-door staff and housekeeping team are excellent. Most of the hotel staff are very friendly, welcoming and always willing to help. Check-in is not as smooth if you arrive during the night or early morning. The experience is not quite the same as checking in during the day. Overall, our stay was great, and we would definitely return."

Rixos Premium Qetaifan Island North

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing waterpark — it’s huge, so even with plenty of visitors, the queues were never too long. The pools were lovely, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The rooms were also beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. Overall, a fantastic stay and a place we would happily return to!"
