Movenpick hotel and resort (4 star) The Movenpick
Tel: + 974 4291111 Fax: +974 4291100 Address: PO Box 24220

Rydges Plaza Doha (four star)
Tel: +974 4385444 Fax: +974 4385445 Address: P.O. Box 22686, Doh Qatar
Location: Corniche


Key points:

-Close to the sea (not the beach) but you need to cross the road to get to the Corniche
- Excellent access to the soukhs (local markets)


Ramada Hotel (three star)
Tel: +974 4417417 Address: PO Box 1768, Doha, Qatar
Location: C Ring Road

While the pool is great for kids, but the night life at the Ramada’s nightclubs can be plain seedy at times (although if you are a single man back from three months on an oil rig you might like that), and the band absolutely awful. (I though it was Karoake Night the first time I went there). On the other hand, they are very active and put on shows and events such as the Laughter factory (well worth a visit), and the alcohol is reasonably priced (for Qatar). It’s situated a few kilometres away from the sea.

Key points:

- lots of things on
- long way from the sea
- bars and clubs popular with expats
