Super clean room, looks like it was recently renovated. Staff were super nice and helpful, Christina in particular (as well as the other ones I interacted with but I sadly can't remember their name). There was a good choice of pastries, hot food and continental items for breakfast in the penthouse (overlooking Doha, great view from up there). The hotel was a short 15 mn drive from the airport and a few minutes walk away from Souq Waqif and the heart of Doha.
Stayed here for 5 days and was amazed at everything, simply the best hotel I have stayed at. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms and whole building was very clean. I really the enjoyed the breakfast too. Will stay here again next time when in Doha. The location is very central too easy access tor metro and exploring the souq.
The room was clean and comfortable. And a big breakfast was available up on the rooftop. Staff service everywhere was excellent and Aira at reception was warm and efficient, making my late night check-in smoothe and fast.
Room was OK. The location of the hotel is not near the souq. Seems like it’s described to be right outside the souq waqif but it’s not. Not the cleanest around surrounding it. Its a 7ish mins drive to the actual souq. Not the cleanest hotel but if ur looking for a cheap stay then id recommend this hotel. Abiri was very attentive and lovely. He helped with bags. His handwriting is amazing too.

The property was very convenient and walking distance from Souq Waqif and the Metro. The staff are nice and accommodating our needs.
The staff members Najla, Rimsha, Shakira, Aziz, Ayub, Christian, Albi and the Staff Manager Mr Haitham were lovely and wonderful. They made our stay very comfortable.
The hotel was very clean and the staff keep it tidy.
I just loved that everything was in my hotel. From a shopping market, a cafe and a restaurant. I love that the staff were so kind and considerate. I felt so safe at this hotel. Room service was impeccable. I can’t wait to visit Doha again and stay at this very hotel.
It was very close to the Souq Waqif metro station and to the Souq itself, so convenient location. Room was great and the wifi connection was excellent. And it the nightly rate was a great price. Would stay here again. Thanks!
We had a wonderful stay at Central Inn. The staff are friendly and efficient. Location is great - within walking distance to many sites, restaurants and shops. The internet was inconsistent but was on more than off. We would stay here again.
