Marriott Marquis City Center Doha Hotel

I really can't fault this Marriott. Arrived very early & just wanted to leave bags in storage for the day. Was offered an upgrade & immediate check in (small extra cost) so was able to hit the shower after a long flight before heading out for the day. Felt fantastic. Staff went above & beyond in any interaction. Minor confusion over my late checkout on the last day but they immediately rectified it. Maybe one of the best breakfast buffets I've seen. Magnificent. Get breakfast with room & you won't be disappointed. Pool and Tulum bar were fantastic as were the staff on the pool deck. Room was in the North Tower which is apparently better. Range of restaurants on site is very good. The italian is worth a visit. If you're looking for an alternative eating option the adjoining shopping mall accessed from the 2nd floor straight from hotel is easy to get to. The city view at night from the path back from the Souk (worth a visit - especially the Falconery shops) is worth a walk or ride. Uber to the Souk late afternoon and wander or scooter back towards the Marriott as the sun sets. Ride all the way to the park near the Sheraton & then Uber back. Uber in Doha is cheap. Wouldn't bother hiring a car though the valet parking at the Marriott was very efficient.

A lovely greeting and welcoming chat from Carolina who gave me a gorgeous corner room with views of the water and downtown - whether day or night a beautiful view whichever way you turned! Bellboy Berhaj was a huge help with my luggage and had a lovely chat on the way to my room. Housekeeping we're really helpful - cleaning my room very quickly when I popped out briefly and attending to a request promptly (sorry, I've forgotten the name of the head housekeeper guy who assisted!). The team went about their jobs quietly and very efficiently, no disturbances or noise during my stay. I liked that the hotel had good security - you scan your bags on arrival both at entrance to hotel and at the exit into the City Centre Mall - a vigilant yet friendly team.

Location, friendly and helpful staff, very good breakfast buffet, wonderful swimming pool and pool area, and I’d like to thank miss. Sheila (not sure of the spelling) from the front desk she was very helpful, informative and professional during check-in process.

Location of the hotel steps away from the metro station is very convenient. If you are visiting Doha, make sure to get a hotel close to metro as it is best way to get around. Room is spacious. Got a room on the 17th floor so it had a nice city view. Breakfast was excellent but gets too crowded. Value is great.

Overall a good experience from start to finish. The staff were attentive and professional. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the amenities one could need. The hotel's facilities, including the spa and fitness center, were standard. However, the extra services, such as the spa and massage, should have been more affordable for hotel guests.
