The Ritz-Carlton, Doha

The property is best located hotel in Doha. The property is huge with lots of amenities to discover with its own private driveway to the hotel’s entrance which makes it all the more grand as you approach it. I loved that it had three restaurants on site which made it easy to stay in the compound if you wanted a relaxing and quiet dinner. Lots of choice at breakfast and very kind and responsive staff. I needed to change my room and they were very responsive in sorting this out and making sure I was comfortable. A truly 5 star hotel 🌟

There was only one thing and that is that they allow smoking in the ground floor lounge bar. I understand not all countries have banned smoking indoors but the issue is the lounge bar is partly open plan and adjacent to the front desk and the large foyer. So customers approaching the front desk, the front desk staff, floor guides and the security have no choice but to be hit with the smell of tobacco (which is quite unpleasant) if there happens to be lots of men relaxing in the lounge and smoking. Smoke also rises so rooms at a lower level on that side of the building will undoubtedly be able to smell it in their rooms.

Excellent hotel with a brilliant pool area for family vacations but also for business travelers. My thanks especially go to the extremely friendly staff throughout the hotel who strive to fulfill every wish.

What I didn't like was that I gained 4kg in 10 days. The excellent breakfast and dinner buffet was responsible for this. I would especially like to thank the German head of the kitchen and the buffet manager from Georgia for this 4kg 😡😂

Amazing stay at the Ritz Carlton! Exceptional staff at every encounter, from the welcome every time in reception, the pool, the beach and the spa where the lovely girls helped us organise tennis, complimentary with rackets too. Housekeeping were extremely thoughtful, little surprises throughout our stay, flowers, towel art, we loved it. Special shout out to the team in the Club Lounge, brilliant they looked after us so perfectly, Mila, Dyanne, Wilberforce, everyone, thank you. It was my husband’s birthday and he was treated to balloons, cakes flowers and singing, in the room, Lounge and even the beach! Thank you so much everyone. The view from the Club Lounge was Wow, the food, drinks on offer throughout the day wonderful, definitely recommend. We had a great evening at B Lounge, one of the Hotels restaurants, lovely setting, beautiful food, again wonderful staff. Hotel buggies take you to the beach, just over a bridge, they took us to the shopping mall just at the entrance to the hotels long driveway. We had a fun night out in Lusail. We enjoyed long swims in the indoor pool and the jacuzzi, the outdoor pool area was pretty. Can really recommend a luxurious stay at the Ritz Carlton where everyone wants you to have the best time.

Having to leave!

The staff throughout the hotel were amazing, welcoming, always with a friendly smile, and always happy and eager to help. The outdoor pool sanctuary was lush, picturesque and a very relaxing place to spend time. Pool was the perfect temperature, and it was an added bonus having the indoor full length lap pool for exercise too. Spacious bedroom. Everything very clean both on arrival and well looked after/cleaned during our stay. We tried both the STK steakhouse restaurant as well as the B-Lounge (twice!) and both were fantastic - both the food and the setting, and staff likewise always fantastic.

The breakfast was very good with lots of diversity. The service was great at the restaurants, pool, beach were great. We really appreciated the help at the reception and specially all the stuff in the hotel lobby trying to help us organise our stay and activities.

We had 2 rooms and this was for both of them, the rooms were not being cleaned well everyday, for ex: towels not being changed everyday, plates on the dining table not cleaned and changed. they were left on the dining table with the trash on them. Trash bin were not emptied.

I liked everything in the hotel. The friendly level and the provisionally which was followed up and watched by the manager Mr. Ahmed Saeed and that what I saw with my eyes. There was a problem in bathroom (which was slowed later) but what I really liked how it was followed up and solved by Mr. Ahmed Saeed when he check the problem, recognised it, put the alternative solutions and carry it out all in 15 mnts only. I can’t wait to come back soon for the next occasion that I have to celebrate it there. Thanks for the ritz Carlton team and hope to see you soon. Best Regards

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and it was nothing short of a remarkable experience. From the moment I entered the grand lobby, I knew I was in for a treat. The staff at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel goes above and beyond to make every guest feel like royalty. Their attention to detail is unmatched. The level of service and hospitality I received during my stay was truly exceptional. From the warm welcome at check-in to the friendly greetings in the hallways, every encounter with the staff was a delight. The rooms at this hotel are not just rooms; they are lavish sanctuaries of comfort and elegance. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and the room's décor exuded a sense of timeless luxury. The cleanliness and upkeep of the room were impeccable. The culinary experience at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is a gastronomic journey like no other. The on-site restaurants offer a diverse range of delectable dishes prepared with precision and artistry. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, featuring an array of fresh, high-quality options that catered to all tastes. The hotel's amenities are top-notch, from the well-maintained fitness center to the serene spa. The swimming pool area is a true oasis of relaxation, and the attentive poolside service added to the overall enjoyment. One thing that truly sets The Ritz-Carlton Hotel apart is its commitment to guest satisfaction. They are proactive in anticipating your needs and are quick to resolve any issues that may arise. This level of dedication to excellence is commendable. In summary, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is a luxurious haven for those seeking the finest in hospitality. It's not just a place to stay; it's an experience that will leave you with cherished memories. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, and I eagerly look forward to my next visit. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay truly exceptional.

I like the following: - Hotel location - Hotel luxury - Amazing customer service and staff - Free hospitality on daily basis from cookies, dates, and Arabic coffee - Indoor tennis court - Amazing food - We were celebrating an occasion, and the hotel made sure we had a special experience and it was nice

I didn't like the following: - Hotel felt old to me - The sports facilities such as swimming pool and bathrooms in the gym area were very old - Golf cart were not available all the time to be able to go around the resort

we had an enjoyable time in the hotel , from the time of the arrival ( we were given a room much more earlier than was supposed ) until check out, all staff members were friendly and extremely helpfull , special thanks go to Bakhtyor - guest relation manager , Alina - Lagoon restaurant manager and Charles, helping us on daily basis with the taxi. Entire atmosphere in the hotel exceed my expectations.

I loved the view from my twin-bed room and what actually helped more was the breeze from the balcony at night (on 2-3/6/2023) 🥰🫠. I also love the Hospitality from the Reception staff (shoutout to I think his name was Ahmed😎) were he helped me check-in earlier than the usual time; to the Buffet staff as the assessed me to my table and with my “omelette 😋”. And lastly, I adored the atmosphere there were everything is calm and relaxing 😌.

The things I did not like in Ritz-Carlton, Doha was the prices of the Saloon’s Services, they were a bit too much🤑🫣 especially when I was attending a wedding there and I am just a visitor to Qatar for a night. Also the Airport Shuttle that the hotel offers was not free as I assumed it would be free for all 5-star Hotels (which I did experienced in France)
