Doha Hotels with Gym

"A beautiful hotel but falls short of 5 star service. The service received was pretty inconsistent as some members of staff and certain situations were dealt with to a top standard but the hotel fell short in other areas. The poolside was not staffed so on our 2 days that we spent there (would have spent more but it was boring), there was nothing provided to eat or drink. Spending time by the pool is a big part of my holiday so this was really disappointing. When I enquired with a staff member, I was told it is un-manned due to a lack of guests using the pool. This wasnt an acceptable reason. The other situation I had was when I asked if I could change money using my contactless card (we forgot our bank cards!) - 2 members of staff said it is possible then when I went to change the money, the manager(Nicole) came and advised that it actually isnt possible. Very unprofessional. Check-in was really nice and Kartik was friendly and helpful. The gentleman at the door was very, very helpful in all matters and 2 members of staff at Alnafourah were also very helpful and friendly. We watched football at Alnafourah and we were treated well and nicely accommodated. Another incident occured when we came back to our room following a visit to the pool and having had our room made up, there were no towels! I had to call twice to housekeeping to advise them as they took so long to respond then when a member from housekeeping arrived, he told me the towels will take an hour to arrive! Never experienced something like this at a 5 star hotel. I had to go down to reception to resolve the situation and I will say that Nicole did sort it out immediately, the housekeeping manager visited our room to apologise and provided a complimentary fruit bowl. Nicole also offered a wonderful gesture by giving us complimentary entrance to a beautiful 'brunch by the pool' evening dinner. This was a lovely gesture as the food on offer was delightful. The gesture was very much appreciated. The location of the hotel isnt the best as there isnt too much to do in the area but taxis are so easy to get, this isnt too much of an issue. Overall, a really nice hotel but in my opinion, falls short of 5 star standard but does provide good value for the price. Nice but I wouldn't stay here again. Overall service needs improvement."

"Hotel located about 15 mins drive from the airport. Checked in about 2300 hours after a long flight for 1 day layover. Check in was simple and quick. Room was located on the 2nd floor. Room is spacious with a king size bed. TV with appropriate channels, lots of charging points. My view was obstructed by another building so didn’t get much light. There’s tea and coffee making machine. The AC works. The bathroom comes with a bath tub. Only amenities I got was toothbrush set and a soap. Hairdryer in the bathroom. The bed was a little hard but slept ok. Outside the hotel is the underground train station. So very convenient to explore the city."

"I recently stayed at City Centre Rotana Jeddah and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, professional, and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in and a comfortable stay throughout. The room was modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering a great blend of comfort and functionality. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and I appreciated the attention to detail — from the high-speed Wi-Fi to the well-stocked minibar and spacious bathroom with quality amenities. One of the highlights was the dining experience. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of both international and local dishes, all fresh and delicious. The service at the restaurant was impeccable, with staff always on hand to assist and ensure guests were well taken care of. The hotel’s location is also ideal — centrally located in Jeddah, it provides easy access to major shopping areas, business districts, and cultural attractions. Despite its prime location, the hotel maintains a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Facilities such as the fitness center and pool were clean and well-maintained, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring or meetings. Overall, I highly recommend City Centre Rotana Jeddah for both business and leisure travelers. The combination of luxury, comfort, and top-notch service truly made my stay memorable."

"Bad points were that there was a nasty drain smell in the bathroom, also coffee/tea not refreshed. In fact, housekeeping took some coffee sachets away! Toiletries not refreshed either after initial allocation. It was handy that you could get a beer in the bar, but that's if you could tolerate the drunk locals. I popped in to get a beer for 3 nights and it was the same every night. The bar staff were lovely but getting abused by the drunks. On my last time in the bar, a Sudenese man made me very uncomfortable (I'm not a shrinking violet). The reception staff varied, one of them downright lied to me saying the Metro would not be running till 6am (it opens at 5 am). He said I would have to get a taxi for early flight for 50 riyal. Con artist. I also asked him for an alarm call which never happened. I got the Metro to airport just fine. The location isn't bad as you're next to a main Metro station, but I would recommend staying in the Souk Waqif and getting a hotel near the Metro stations there. I say stations because they have different access points which come out at different spots so use Google Street view to check. Didn't use pool or have breakfast so can't comment. Overall, I would stay somewhere else!"

"Stayed for my layover of 12 hours during my travel. Hotel is close to the airport. Clean, quiet. Staff is very fast and polite. Room is clean and comfortable. Restaurant makes good club sandwich and pizza. Room service was fast and pleasant. I paid $54 canadian dollars- excellent price. Thank you"

"Overall, the hotel does not worth this price. The lobby and building are ok. If you travel alone, that room can be a little bit uncomfortable in vibe. Staff were nice. Cleanliness: the room was clean. However, it smelled like old building, can emit their own odors over time. The scents in toilet is so bad, like sewage when I turned off ventilation during night time. Location: it is closed to Souq Waqif with around 18 mins walk. The area was quiet and safe. It can take sometimes to the airport, so I took Uber to go there. Service: people were friendly and even upgrade the big room for my family. They’re trying to make it easy for you. Amenities: the room and building were too old. Lighting is doomed. It’s bathtub, toilet were worn out and there’s defects. The hairdryer was historical and noisy. There was a lock door inside the master bedroom which is a bit creepy."

"The room design is innovative and uniquely decorated, with a great view outside the window. The service is top-notch. It has both a shower and a bathtub, and is clean and hygienic. Even though the decor is new, there's no unpleasant smell. The staff are very professional."

"Very good location, Near the bus stop and train stations. It is very accessible. Very convenient location near the airport and city attractions. Many guests commend the hotel for its budget-friendly rates and excellent value, with the rooms frequently described as spacious, clean, and comfortable. The amenities, while basic, earn praise for their comfort and convenience. Shopping malls and supermarket is just a steps away. Cleanliness and well-maintained rooms are frequently praised, contributing to guest satisfaction. The exceptional value and attentive service, with staff going above and beyond. Enjoyed my stay at this wonderful and comfy hotel. Loved every experience and services I received from the staff. The staff were extremely professional and very friendly. We had a pleasant stay."

"The hotel is a good location if you want to be near the airport, and souk waqif. The hotel is dated and the carpets are old thus you can see stains, worn out patches. The check in process was slow. However tue hotel does make up for this with the amenities provided, there was a travel adaptor dental kit and tea an coffee."

"It was the best staying in whole trip to Middle East. Everyone from the staff was so helpful, kind, and polite. I wish I asked for their names personally, but actually everyone was great. The cookies are the best :) the cleanness, the noise isolation, the location. This hotel is perfect"
