VERY BASIC . NOT 4 STARS

We booked a twin room. We were put in a different room on the 1st night. Only after I complained the room was changed twice the next day. Very chaotic. The room was cleaned at different times every day. some days we arrived and there was no towels. Some days there was 2 towels but no bath mat. Reception service was OK. sometimes nobody answers the phone. The security outside was very pleasant and helpful.

Nice hotel, convenient location 5 mins to metro station. However the immediate area is the old old old gold market with old awfull alleys. Which for Doha standard are among the no so nice remnants of the city before it was ripped appart and renovated rebuilt. Hotel has amazing view from the top terrace restaurant, good 24hour gym, amazing front desk staff, amazing cleaning staff, room windows don't close properly and noise enters. Rooms are good and tv offers smart connection to Netflix prime for free

This is a lovely hotel. The staff was very helpful. We ate in the restaurant in the hotel and the food was good. We were there for a few hours during a 10hr layover just long enough to eat,shower and catch a few hours sleep. I would stay there again.

The bathroom is quite slippery. The floor has no friction, and the exhaust is minimal to remove the moisture after a shower.

Central Inn Souq Waqif was a very affordable and convenient base to explore Old Town Doha (including the Souq Waqif traditional market for dining and shopping, about a half-mile away, and the fantastic Museum of Islamic Art, about one mile away). The hotel was very clean and comfortable, and had a very friendly early check-in and late check-out policy, which is useful for passengers spending a night or two transiting on flights at odd hours (the hotel only charged 50 Qatari riyal each for a very early check-in [7:30am] and a pretty late check out [5:00pm]). The service was also very friendly, with the one exception that the restaurant manager didn't allow us to eat some of our leftovers in the hotel restaurant while we waited to go back to the airport (instead we sat in the hotel lobby to eat, so I'm not sure why he thought that was any better). I strongly recommend the Central Inn Souq Waqif for a visit to Doha!
