Honestly I wasn’t impressed with the quality considering the price. I stayed at the Ramada which was significantly cheaper and had nicer utilities like a mini fridge. The water never seemed to get hot and the lighting was awful. The AC was very loud and the pillows were uncomfortable.
We spent New Year here with our family Hotel is clean, staff are courteous and polite and the General Manager is Excellent, very nice place

Good value, great staff, but needs refurbishing
Staff were great and accommodating, and the room had all I needed. However, it is showing its age with chipped tiles in the bathroom, old fittings, and probably hasn't been refurbished for very many years. Very convenient for Msheireb metro station for direct access to the airport.

I can not provide any information for now.
The room was very dusting i know the answer can be cause of the construction, when i asks for a replacement, the proposition was one king 🛌 for two peoples i(i was traveling with a friend) which is was impossible.
Very bad experience, the reserved rooms was not given, super bad in room service where they can skip days without cleaning. I DON'T RECOMMEND AT ALL.
تجربه سيئه جدا، لم يعطونى العرفي الي حجزناها، التنظيف سيئ ممكن يسحبون بعض الأيام بدون تنظيف
Excellent stay but getting to and from hotel was challenging on foot.I would recommend not trying to walk from hotel until present roadworks are finished.We were there first week in February and roadworks were very challenging.
There are taxis to use.Also local metro is very cheap and efficient and well worth trying.

Very Friendly and excellent staff. However, the pillows in the bedroom were very uncomfortable.
Very close to the main Metro and Souq Waqif. Walking distance and plus the new DOHA Downtown looks amazing.

The hotels needs to be demolished and rebuilt it’s in a good position near the metro , over the road is all new and the souq is very close. The hotel is tired and dated for a mercure it’s probably one of the worst they own.

Worth the price
Old building in the middle of a construction zone.
That said the staff were friendly, room was clean, bed comfortable and breakfast was good. Whilst it is a challenge to walk to the souk it is very close so for the money paid this is a good value hotel. For the price would recommend it.

Fine but not 4 stars
I stayed here during a layover on my way home, as I had a 20 hour wait. It was called ‘city centre’ hotel but I did not feel that it was close to anything. The hotel was in need of a refurbishment. Having stayed at the Mercure in Bangkok a couple of weeks before, I opted for a Mercure as I had a pleasant stay, however my expectations were let down with this hotel. The hotel was dated and I felt that the corridors and rooms were dark and did not smell very nice. The room was in need of modernisation. The shower was fine and the bed was comfortable. The receptionist who checked me in was polite but I did not experience the same customer service as that of Bangkok. The pool was small but there were plenty of sun loungers. The overall stay was fine but I would have expected more from a 4 star hotel.

Dear Kerry, thank you very much for your comment. Our hotel in located in the middle of the main attraction in town such as Souk Waqif, the newly opened National museum, the Corniche and adjacent to the new main Metro station and Musherib quarter. A full renovation of our hotel is schedule for next year. Feel Welcome, Sebastien, General Manager
This Mercure was way below the standard of any Mercure hotel we have stayed in.
It really needs an update. Our sheets had holes and the mattress protector was really stained and needed to be throw out. Spider webs in the bathroom. The list goes on and on. There was a huge amount of building works in the area as well which made it feel unpleasant. Breakfast was really good with s very wide variety of food. The staff were fantastic and extremely helpful.

Solo travel overnight
Old hotel but clean. Staff were great and accommodating. Good location as it’s only a couple of blocks from the souk. Can get really hot walking out so bring a hat or an umbrella if you’re walking in the day. Be wary of some of the guests though esp if you’re a solo female traveler. One of the guests tried to lure me into his room 😳

Dear Marian, thank you so much for your rating and comments. Musherib area is in the final stage and soon it will become once again Doha downtown area with pedestrian streets, retails and much more to discover. Looking forward welcoming you back. Sebastien, general manager
The room - nothing fancy for a 4 star hotel. Comfortable and has hot shower. The robe was a nice touch too. Towels were soft and nice. It has a/c so worked out okay. My room was on the 7th floor with balcony facing the swimming pool view and constructions view on the left hand side. Sri Lankan airline had their cabin crew stayed in the hotel too.
The service - kudos to the airport shuttle service. On arrival, the chaffuer kindly waited for 1.30hours due to the long queue at the passprt control. The check in service was swift and they even offered a warm towel just like in the airplane. I asked for an iron and was promptly delivered to my room. Brrakfast was delicious too with really friendly staff.
The area - theres a lot of construction going on in the area however it is only a short walking distance to souq waqif.

City Centre Hotel Doha
whilst the hotel is a little tired and the area where it is situated is undergoing a massive redevelopment it is ideally situated for the famous Souk and the sea. The staff are so polite and professional, the bed very comfy, the food offering great and an excellent wine list at very reasonable rates. I used the hotel driver for the week when I was there and he is excellent.
