The hotel is conveniently located with a very pleasant view by the canal, Staff is courteous and helpful. Rooms are good, linen is clean, well ventilated and thermostats work well. The bathrooms are small and ill planned. These need a fresh architectural review. The hotel has a pleasant ambience. The Food is Good. Overall, a pleasant experience.

The hotel’s location is excellent—you can easily walk to the Lusail Food Arena and the ocean. The property itself is luxurious, clean, and well maintained. However, the service could use improvement. On a cold night, it felt like the heater in our room was not working. We contacted the front desk multiple times requesting assistance and an extra blanket, but unfortunately no one followed up. The bellman, Hamza, on the other hand truly stood out. He went above and beyond to accommodate us and was the only staff member who showed genuine care and attentiveness during our stay

Room was nice big and clean. Bathroom was very small and very poorly designed. Faucet in the sink was leaking and not repaired. Shower door was also leaking and a small bathroom area got flooded every time we showered. Breakfast was good. You have to take Taxi for wherever you want to go. Nothing is walkable.
