"I had a lovely stay at the Staybridges. It’s situated in an excellent location with the tram station a short walk away. My suite was fantastic with excellent sea views and the Katara towers. The suite itself was well equipped, spacious and well maintained. The staff from Honey, Birmila, Zow and especially Torikul the cricket fan who always came with a smile and left my suite spotless. All the breakfast staff were attentive along with security especially with deliveries but lovely to speak to!...

Top Doha Festival City Hotel Reviews

The Chedi Katara Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Where to start with The Chedi Katara? What a blissful experience to stay here for our 3 nights! I wish I could have extended it forever! Service was impeccable from *everyone* on staff, and you feel like a very valued guest, no matter who you see or interact with. I'm very particular about cleanliness, and I could find no fault. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed, and the beach is lovely. I must call out the multiple members of staff who made our stay a memorable one — Abid at reception, who helped us with a very early check-in. And, then, there is the staff at The Restaurant! Our breakfasts were made better simply because of the staff: Thin, May, Mounsef, Koyel, and Fatema, while Chef Sayeed joyfully served us his excellent pancakes and French toast. The one improvement I would suggest is clear communication on available amenities — we didn't know how many restaurants were on property, and only found a second because a member of staff saw us returning to only one restaurant for the third time and suggested another. All in all, an excellent experience! I would say this is a 6-star property, and, having sailed a 6-star cruise, I think I can say that from experience :)"
