Room was OK. The location of the hotel is not near the souq. Seems like it’s described to be right outside the souq waqif but it’s not. Not the cleanest around surrounding it. Its a 7ish mins drive to the actual souq. Not the cleanest hotel but if ur looking for a cheap stay then id recommend this hotel. Abiri was very attentive and lovely. He helped with bags. His handwriting is amazing too.

Super clean room, looks like it was recently renovated. Staff were super nice and helpful, Christina in particular (as well as the other ones I interacted with but I sadly can't remember their name). There was a good choice of pastries, hot food and continental items for breakfast in the penthouse (overlooking Doha, great view from up there). The hotel was a short 15 mn drive from the airport and a few minutes walk away from Souq Waqif and the heart of Doha.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were amazing and provided excellent customer service throughout my visit. The property is very clean, both inside and out, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Breakfast was outstanding—one of the best I’ve ever had at a hotel. The only drawback was that the King room felt a bit small for two people, which is why I didn’t give a full five stars. Overall, though, it’s a great hotel and I would definitely recommend it.

I really the enjoyed the breakfast too. Will stay here again next time when in Doha. The location is very central too easy access tor metro and exploring the souq.

The room was in a good condition when I arrived and the staff were very polite and helpful! The only bits of feedback I have are around the breakfast options! The breakfast options, while there are many are also very limited. I stayed for 6 nights and I only had a proper full breakfast for 1 day. They should think of maybe having a specific cuisine per day and basing their menu for the breakfast buffet on that as well as ensuring the temperature of the food is sufficient through having better food warmers. However, all staff that I encountered during this stay were so helpful. They practically saved my life when I had an allergic reaction and they ensured I was able to access medical care swiftly, so a huge shoutout to the security team at Central Inn! Reception staff and housekeeping were also so incredibly helpful as well as the bell hops and restaurant staff. Another piece of feedback is that our keys had constantly stopped working while we were there which required frequent trips to the reception to get the keys reset. Although this process is very swift, it was an inconvenience as it meant I had to constantly go downstairs to reception to have keys reset and reconfigured. As well as this, it would be great if they had the room numbers printed on the key card as this would make it easier for myself as I would sometimes carry the key cards of others in my group. Overall a 7/10 from me. Great hotel!
