"Great Hotel, Excellent Service and Location We had a lovely stay at the InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa. The hotel does exactly what it says on the tin, and we really can’t complain. Great location, lovely pool, friendly and welcoming staff, and a very good breakfast. The service throughout our stay was attentive and professional. A special mention must go to the Front of House Manager, Sayeeda (I believe that’s her name), who was absolutely exceptional. She was extremely professional, attentive and genuinely went above and beyond to accommodate our request, even though she was under no obligation to do so. We really appreciated the time, effort and care she put into helping us, and she deserves recognition for her outstanding customer service. Overall, a very good hotel in a great location, with excellent hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it."

Hilton Doha The Pearl

Hilton Doha The Pearl

8/10 Good
"The Pearl is really well located in Doha. Our room was. King studio on the 34th floor, on a corner with a balcony and a superb view of Lusail. The room included a small kitchenette which is great if you are staying longer than a couple of days and the room included a washer drier! Again great if you’re staying longer, especially as you’ll go through clothes at a rate of knots in the Qatar heat! There were a couple of points I think could be better. Firstly the placement of the coffee makers in the kitchenette is awkward. The workout looked a tad scruffy, the edging was all chipped, I’d expect better for 5 star quality. The bed was nice and large but the bed itself moved every time my husband turned or moved disturbing me. The bathroom was too small. The door opens into the bathroom. You have to squeeze around the door to get in and shut it. There is no room to have more than one person using it at once. The bath/shower area was good. There is plenty of room for the door to open out or be sliding. Positive points , we had a nice sitting area and the views. The breakfast was great, eggs cooked to order as well as other specials, lots of variety on the food stations, staff were great. Overall I would recommend staying at The Pearl despite the negative points."
