Hey all
I’m going to be in Doha for the first time in December for 3 nights, does anyone have any recommendations on where to stay? I’ve read that staying in the Old Town during your first visit may be a better idea than staying in some of the other luxurious areas like West Bay, but thought I’d get some opinions from everyone here.
Thanks!I am also interested in where to stay, this time with QR decided to do a 2 night stopover.
I stayed one night in the Doubletree in Old Town during a stop over this January. The surrounding area is nothing to write home about, but is near the airport. I got upgraded to a ‘King Studio’ and it was very large (got upgraded for being Diamond). I think the main area of interest in the Old Town is the souk, otherwise, it seems like all the ‘action’ are in the new parts of the city.

Thanks, when you say new parts which ones are you referring to? I see lots of hotels around West Bay, this seems to be the more luxurious part.
Can’t help room wise, but I frequented the Hilton West Bay on a daily basis for the sports bar during the world cup last year. It was way out of my price range at the time but i managed to blag my way in as Hilton gold. It wasn’t particularly close to anything other than other hotels but maybe a 15mins walk or short taxi to the the main west bay area.
Personally would prefer that for anything other than an overnight stopover.
Ubers are dirt cheap so don’t rule out somewhere further away like the Waldorf Lusail. To remain more central, I personally stay at the Mandarin Oriental and really like the Msheireb neighbourhood – so have a look to see if there are Hiltons nearby to the Mandarin.

Hi JayJay, sorry, yes I meant West Bay.
Also for a short stopover, I recommend the Hyatt Regency by the old airport.
