The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. It’s an older motel but still very nice. The only negative was some of the bath towels were wearing and on the smaller side. We would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly staff, close to the beach, good service
Great experience at Retaj Al Rayyan. Close to the beach, great ammenities like the spa and pool overlooking the sea. Most rooms have sea view (or the beautiful West Bay Skyline). Housekeeping was attentative - thank you Djaffer! The cafe downstairs was nice (Kareem was very helpful) with coffees, teas and fresh juices. The front desk was wonderful too, Samia helped us with a smile. I stayed a week and will be back soon! Very good experience overall. The management like Mohammed were also kind and always checking in. Highly recommend!

The shower screen didn't keep the water in, and the water level in the toilet was too high.
Other than that, the room and facilities were brilliant. Bed was very comfortable, I slept like a baby

we stayed in this hotel for the first time in January 2023 my wife and I everything went well, cleanliness of the rooms which gave us the opportunity to return a second time in December 2023.
Unfortunately and with great regret everything did not go well not like the first time, room half cleaned, dirty carpet poorly cleaned, dusty furniture, towels often missing and toilet paper in drips and you have to call reception several times to get some. For breakfast it remains bland without taste and without flavor the same thing throughout our 7 day stay.
Big disappointment and we decided to rule out this hotel for our next stay in Doha.
Really nice hotel, staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are large and clean, view from the room is incredible. Breakfast is excellent and they offer vouchers to West Bay Beach, which is a couple of mins away. I was able to check in at 1am and I liked that check out is at noon.
