I stayed at this hotel five months earlier and enjoyed it so much, I didn't hesitate to return. I still love the location of the hotel and the fact that they have a massive swimming pool, a supermarket, a hairdresser, a basketball court and cafes and restaurants all on the premises. There are also coffee shops and a Kmart (which is more like another supermarket).
My only disappointment on this trip was the day I checked out. This hotel is part of the Qatar Stopover program. They are used to people having flights coming and going at all hours of the day. I requested a 4pm check out which they gave me and I was incredibly grateful.
However, at the crack of midday, I got booted off the Wi-Fi. They told me how to reconnect but the connection was unstable and I kept getting booted off. I also had somebody knock on my door just after 1pm and ask when I was leaving. This person was oblivious to my 4pm checkout. Lastly, on the morning of my checkout, I asked a staff member to put my bottle of water in the freezer. I told them SEVERAL TIMES it was imperative that I have ice for my flight to keep some medication cold. Upon checkout, they presented me with a bottle of water that had been in the fridge. So my medication probably spoiled on my flight. I was incredibly disappointed that such a simple request was not followed. I am now requesting compensation for the spoiled medication which was worth a fortune.
