مهند الدوسري: Everything at the hotel was perfect, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. This hotel is a well-known gem that speaks for itself.
Bldg. No. 25, Zone, 61 Street 900
From IDR 2,507,357
Bakhromjon Abdusalomov: Excellent hotel with great service and very friendly staff. Thank you for allowing me to check in earlier than the standard check-in time. I really appreciate your kindness and hospitality. I had a wonderful stay!
Off Al Wahda Road
From IDR 1,734,187
Guest User: The service was excellent, and the room was spotlessly clean. I especially loved the fancy-looking bottled water. Breakfast was my absolute favorite! The hotel staff even helped me miraculously retrieve my wallet that I'd left in a taxi. Doha wouldn't be the same without this place; I wouldn't choose anywhere else for my business trips.
Business Park, Airport Road
From IDR 1,255,040
Olga Jelton: The hotel itself is good. And it would remain very good if it weren't for the addition of another building. With such a large number of guests, they really need to expand the restaurant and increase the number of sun loungers on the beach. You either have to be an early bird and have breakfast at 7 AM, then head to the beach by 8 AM, or you'll face daily struggles finding a seat or sun lounger. Plus, the on-site restaurants are questionable; we tried the steakhouse once and weren't impressed. Everything else is fine: spacious, clean, well-equipped rooms (not all have balconies), proximity to the airport, very friendly and helpful hotel staff, a fairly wide selection of food at breakfast, and alcohol available on the menu.
Building 2, Ras Abu Aboud Street, Street 920
From IDR 3,076,345
Guest User: The accommodation was very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, and it even had a washing machine. We arrived early due to our flight schedule, and the hotel kindly permitted us to check in at 10 AM, which we greatly appreciated. A special thank you to Trip.com's customer service for helping to coordinate this. The service was also excellent, and we were very satisfied with everything.

Eugenio from DXB: We stayed at Abesq Hotel in Doha as a couple and had a really pleasant experience overall. The hotel feels modern and relaxed, and everything was clean and well taken care of. What we enjoyed the most was the spa area — the sauna was excellent and a perfect way to unwind after a long day out. It felt calm, well maintained, and not overcrowded at all. The atmosphere of the hotel is comfortable without trying too hard, and it worked really well for a couple’s trip. Staff were friendly and helpful whenever we needed something. We’d definitely consider staying here again, especially for the spa and wellness facilities.
Suhaim Bin Hamad Street, C Ring Rd
From IDR 1,973,761
Guest User: We arrived at 10:30 and were checked in right away. The service was excellent. Honestly, the place is tidy and clean, well worth a visit.

Reuben Leo Sushman: ok Crowne Plaza but unfortunately 4*. Difficult to check in upon arrival but worked in the business lounge for an hour so it was acceptable. Quite a crowd in the lobby at check in as well. Breakfast was quite nice and the gym was ok with adequate equipment. Unfortunately, the dinner buffet was not up to Crowne Plaza standards and definitely needs improvement. Fairly average food. I was slightly surprised after enjoying the food at the Crowne Plaza in Muscat just the day before. No comparison between the two hotels. Muscat one was is 5*. Room faced the street on a low floor and the view, unfortunately, was quite poor. Would not stay at this Crowne Plaza again.

M636004****: The room was excellent, very clean, and the room service was attentive and considerate. The dining options were plentiful, and the atmosphere made me feel at home away from home. The environment was quiet and the privacy of each guest was well taken care of.
Al Khaleej St
From IDR 2,706,095
Guest User: I was very satisfied with the hotel, personnel, service and equipement. I would like to give a big thank you to Widad. He was extremely professional, helpful, and always had a smile on his face. Thanks to his great service, we truly enjoyed our stay — and we’ll definitely be coming

Falling for I.M. Pei in a day in Doha
I never expected Doha to rewrite the meaning of "eternity" in my dictionary in such a way 🏛️ It wasn't until I stood before the Museum of Islamic Art that I realized some buildings aren't just for shelter, but for engaging in a quiet romance with a thousand-year-old civilization 💫 This was I.M. Pei's final masterpiece at age 91. He came out of retirement to design this last major cultural building for Doha, presenting a sense of precise, geometric eternity ✨ It is said that Mr. Pei spent 6 months traveling deep into the Arab region for inspiration, eventually finding his core inspiration in the ablution fountain of the Mosque of Ibn Tulun in Cairo, Egypt 🧠 At that moment, I could almost see an old man quietly gazing at the fountain's spray in the twilight, then folding those ripples, inch by inch, into his blueprints 📐 To perfectly showcase this building, Mr. Pei suggested reclaiming land 60 meters offshore to create an island as the site 🏝️ This created a 360-degree sea view, making the building like a sacred monument on the water, paying tribute to a thousand-year-old civilization through pure architectural language 🙏 Standing on the island, watching the seawater surround the building in a gentle circle of blue, I suddenly felt that this was not just a museum, but a love letter sealed by the sea 💌 The building consists of two connected structures, with a central courtyard linking the 4,225-square-meter main building and the 2,694-square-meter educational exhibition area 🔗 The main building is angular and majestic, featuring French cream-colored Magny-Chantillon limestone, American flamed granite, and a German stainless steel dome that shines like a jewel 💎 Sunlight falls on the stone, glowing with a nearly soft shimmer, much like the sentences about distant places I read in novels during my youth 📖 The main building features 5 floors of exhibition halls, centered around a 50-meter-high vaulted atrium with an oval structure at the top 🏗️ The interior space is constructed with precisely cast architectural concrete, and the embedded small domes were molded individually. The exhibition hall floors are paved with dark gray porphyry, and the brushed Brazilian rosewood presents a metallic texture ✨ Walking through it, my footsteps were gently absorbed by the space, leaving only my heartbeat echoing softly in the vast, quiet hall 💓 The design philosophy is even more intoxicating. In the architecture, one can see the axis-symmetric layout of Islamic gardens, waterways, and the symbolism of paradise, as well as the subtle balance between modern and traditional, minimalist and complex opposites ⚖️ The building is composed of 5 layers of cubes rotated and stacked, forming a fractal geometric relationship that is similar yet different. The exterior presents precise axial symmetry, while the interior space achieves central symmetry through the atrium dome, with dual geometric orders intersecting in the 50-meter-high atrium 💫 At that moment, I finally understood that so-called eternity is just folding time into geometry and placing it quietly by the sea 🌊 Doha, a relaxing 3-day getaway 👇 Day 1: Sea and geometry 🏛️ Morning: Step into the Museum of Islamic Art and get lost in I.M. Pei's lines; afternoon: take a walk by the sea in the Museum Park and watch Doha's skyline sway on the water; evening: return to the steps outside the museum and watch the sunset dye the limestone gold 🌅 Day 2: The heartbeat of the old city 💫 Morning: Stroll through Souq Waqif, wandering through the scents of spices and fabrics; afternoon: visit the National Museum of Qatar and experience a different kind of architectural poetry in the shape of the desert rose; evening: walk along the Corniche and watch the night lights turn on one by one 🌟 Day 3: Farewell and reunion ✨ Morning: Visit Katara Cultural Village and spend time between galleries and theaters; afternoon: have a cup of coffee by the sea on The Pearl-Qatar ☕ evening: return to the Museum of Islamic Art, take one last look at that monument on the sea, and embark on the journey home with the light and shadow of Doha 🧳

What people are saying about Doha
Museum of Islamic Art
One of the must place to visit when you come to Doha. Another great experiences.
Melinda.hdNational Museum of Qatar
One of the great destination that you should visit while you are enjoying the Doha's trip.
Melinda.hdSouq Waqif
Souq Waqif is one of the best places to experience the culture of Doha. The traditional market has beautiful old-style buildings, narrow streets, and a lively atmosphere, especially in the evening. There are many shops selling spices, perfumes, handicrafts, souvenirs, and traditional clothing. I also enjoyed trying local food at the restaurants and cafés around the market. Walking through the souq was relaxing, and there was always something interesting to see. The area was clean, well maintained, and easy to explore on foot. It is a great place to take photos, buy unique gifts, and enjoy the local culture. I would definitely recommend Souq Waqif to anyone visiting Doha because it offers an authentic and memorable experience.
Jason EggCorniche
This is a road with great views. First of all, you can see the city skyline from afar. The Qatar Museum of Art, a masterpiece of Master Mei, is also on the seaside road. Secondly, you can run along the beach at night to enjoy the night view of the city.
pekingwangThe Pearl Island
The Pearl-Qatar is where luxury meets the sea. A spectacular man-made island in Doha, it is famous for its glamorous marinas, luxury yachts, designer boutiques, waterfront cafés, and elegant Mediterranean-inspired architecture.
Lo1aaaKatara Cultural Village
I really, really, really love this place. The amphitheatre is something else. The floor air condition at the outdoor restaurant is something I've never seen before and a superb idea. I love it!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
O.N.A3-2-1 Qatar Olympic & Sports Museum
It's nice; it's sheltered from the sun, not crowded, and has some interactive play equipment for children. The only downside is its location, which is a bit out of the way.
Anonymous userAbdullah Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center (Fanar Masjid)
This is the Islamic Cultural Center as well as a mosque and very distinctive and recognizable from the outside. There are culture and language classes available as well as the chance to ask any questions you have about Islam. Additionally, you can set up tours through them to other mosques of note in the city. Very helpful. Great experience.
