Default struggling to find serviced apartment online..please help.

Hi friends.

Im trying to find a serviced apartment for November(mid) and google isnt giving much away.
Just need one or two bed,pool,gym etc.
Have contacted the intercon but it was 16000 for a one bed and i think thats a bit steep as know there must be cheaper ones but still nice.
Please help

As far as I know there are very few serviced apts in Doha, I knew of one in Musheireb but I don't recall the name and it was a dump anyway.

Go here http://www.qatarliving.com and ask the question.

Try Al Ameen Enterprises, +974 4431 1221 / [email protected]

They have two blocks of flats in the Old Al Salata area, one of which has a basic Gym, but no pool. Central, near the Corniche and Airport, plenty parking. Typical down-town Doha location, lots of traffic noise, aircraft movements and dust everywhere.

I bed apartment, QR6k/m, 2 bed apartment 8k/m, including utility bills and cleaning.

Also take a look at www.booking.com which will show you what is available for your dates.

My husband was trying to find a place last week for 1 month and the only place he could find was Ezdan. He drove around to so many places. One place wanted QAR800 per night!

Also try Al Emadi Enterprises. They have lots of new-build flats, mainly in the Old Airport area (Down-town Doha). Gyms, but no pools. Furnished and Unfurnished. Not sure about price, but competitive and were recommended to me by a work colleague. Parking and traffic will almost certainly be an issue.

Ezdan in west bay worth a look. I've heard there can be some seedier residents which may make it a little uncomfortable for a single lady, but seem to have decent enough facilities, is relatively cheap and you can pay by the week. If you can handle having to tell a few lads to take a running jump you'll be fine. Never stayed there so second hand info only.

Someone just mentioned holiday villas to me near the raddisson - i know nothing about them but it might be worth investigating. they are in the centre of doha so not west bay but easy to get everywhere except traffic is bad.
