Quaint, chic and charming - located within an old souq, incorporating the architectural elements of courtyards, thatched roofs and mud walls, the hotel is an idyllic retreat offering easy access to the beach and vibrant cafes and restaurants that now occupy the souq. Offering privacy, all the modern amenities, an exquisite onsite restaurant and multiple relaxation spaces, this is a definite bucket list destination.

A beautiful hotel in a great quiet location. Cleaning staff were friendly and eager to help if needed. I was offered a quite room in ideal location, thank you for that. My bathroom was big and comfortable. Pool area and areas for relaxation next to the lobby are nice and peaceful. If you want to stay away from the hassle of the city, Souq Al Wakra is your place..you can either wonder around the old market or stroll along the beach. Plenty of cheap places to eat around. Very authentic.

Pillows and mattress were a bit uncomfortable for my liking. Not sure what happened a day before my departure but staff removed my bath robe and didn't replenish water. It would also help if you change towels, some of mine were so worn off which is not acceptable for a five stars hotel.

We stayed at Souq Al Wakrah hotel for two weeks with our two young children. We were absolutely stunned the moment we entered the hotel. The beautiful heritage rooms and courtyards were just beautiful. The vibe and atmosphere was just so relaxing. The pool area was amazing, plenty of sun beds etc however I would have loved there to be a separate pool for young children as the pool was 1.5m deep. I have noticed many children come to the hotel and a separate pool would be ideal and safer. Access to the beach was so easy and plenty of shops around for food etc. A huge playground and zoo for the children to enjoy, literally everything was on the doorstep. The staff at Souq Al Wakra were extremely helpful and friendly, always there any time we needed assistance. They go above and beyond and always happy to help.

Nearly everything was top quality. The hotel itself boasts a beautiful architecture based on traditional Qatari courtyard houses. The room was beautifully decorated with lovely marble flooring and beautiful mud-like walls and false timber ceiling. The staff are courteous, helpful and friendly. There's often free Arabic coffee at the reception where you can help yourself to a cup as you wait for help, a taxi or your valet. Beautiful touch of Arab hospitality. The hotel itself is pretty much part of Souq Al Wakra. Once the sun sets, make sure to make your way down the promenade for an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes, little shops and everything in between. At one time during breakfast, I heard Fairuz's Zahrat El Mada'en playing on the restaurant speakers. Made my day as a Palestinian. This is an establishment which stands on the right side of humanity and history, as does most of Qatar for that matter. PS: The England football team stayed at this hotel during the 2022 World Cup. You'll see their signed shirts and photos up in one of the courtyards.

I've stayed at other five-star hotels around the GCC which had a far better breakfast offering, both in quality and variety. I was surprised at how little Arabian/Arab breakfast items were available at the buffets. You really only had what appeared to be canned hummus. Real shame.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. I was welcomed with some ghawa and dates. I love the traditional look that meshes in with the souq. The staff are amazing, very helpful, very kind and very friendly. They always offer to help with anything. The room was clean, spacious and just as shown on the pictures. There is a huge courtyard that was outside my room, which added some privacy on the trip. I felt like I had my own space. I like that the rooms are on ground level but also the whole place is very quiet which was blissful. I was even given a plate of some sweets and a bowl of fruit, which was appreciated. My first morning while heading for breakfast, I noticed that the restaurant opens out on to the beach as well as the hotel being part of the souq! This was the absolute highlight! Everymorning I would go and put my feet in the water! The breakfast selection at the hotel is great! There is something for everyone! Big shout out to Chef Rosemary, she makes the best cheese omelet! Overall, an exceptional stay at Souq AL Wakra Hotel! I have recommended the hotel to friends and family! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and excellent hospitality from all the staff.

The breakfast was awsome so so good. And made to order omelettes and waffles by chef Rosemary. She always had a smile. I have to say I really liked Lina greeting me by name each morning. The staff from the reception to house keeping to security to the spa staff, Ruby Ann and Boity. They treated us like queens. I felt so safe, and they gave good suggestions about where to go buy in the souq and get the best deals. The buggies where awsome and their other restaurant Azerbaijani had the best lamb chops o have ever tasted and the Mocktails that they made woooo I dream about them. Honestly this was top tier vaccination spot right by the beach to be able to see the sunrise each morning. It was perfect Each time I fly through Doha and I have a long layover I will come out and stay here and have been recommending this hotel to everyone I know.

That I stayed such a short time

We arrived late at night following a long flight and were warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink and some dates. The check-in process was seamless, with minimal fuss. To our delight, we were given an upgrade to a junior suite — the room was thoughtfully designed, with excellent bed linen and quality towels, making it a very comfortable stay. We had opted for the half-board option, which was ideal for our short stopover. The food was exceptional, and so were the staff — attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to ensure we had everything we needed. The pool area was quiet and relaxing, with thoughtful touches throughout the day such as bottles of water, cooling towels, and fresh fruit. The location of the hotel is also very convenient. One of the aspects we particularly appreciated was the flexibility at checkout — we had a midnight flight, and for a very small fee, we were allowed to remain in our room until it was time to leave for the airport, which made a real difference to our comfort. Overall, this was a fantastic stay for the layover part of our trip, and I wouldn't hesitate to book this Hotel again.

Nothing.

Breakfast, service and location were really good. Very family friendly hotel and staff were amazing at helping us with excursion bookings and anything else we needed. The staff are a real credit to this hotel.

Only a small niggle but the mattress was too soft and pillows were like clouds. For people with back problems this can be a slight issue, but I'm sure if pointed out the hotel staff could change things. Having said that, only I struggled a bit but the rest of my family loved their beds. It was hard to get them out of the beds in the morning. So not a major issue.

We had a wonderful stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful, great service attitude. Rooms were beautiful, clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good. Location was perfect, not in the city but close to the city and the beach and restaurants in the area. When laying at the pool the staff came with cold water and cold towels to cool down in the heat. Our flight was scheduled late in the evening so the staff was kind to arrange a late checkout, shower facilities and changing rooms etc so that we could freshen up and repack before heading to the airport. Before leaving we had the most amazing spa treatment and got to use the lovely hydra pool and steam room. An extra thank you to the amazing staff: Wapang in the reception who helped us with the late checkout, Viraj at the pool for taking such good care of us, Anne at the spa who was so kind and did the relaxing treatment and last but not least Peter and Enock who helped with our luggage!

Wish we stayed a bit longer!

Exceptional service I felt like I was at home with the hospitality I experienced. If there was an option to give above five stars I would. The entire staff couldn’t have done more for me. The care was so personal and everything was always taken care of. Kutub looked after my room service which was always above 100 % and Hassan was always taking care of things when I was leaving or coming back after a day out to make sure everything was perfect for me. I really appreciated it. I am always very particular with my needs while I am on holiday and honestly the entire staff and management here exceeded my expectations and I never had the words to describe how grateful I was. I am also vegetarian and the breakfast food as well as restaurants on site always had nice food available.
