Nice hotel, convenient location 5 mins to metro station. However the immediate area is the old old old gold market with old awfull alleys. Which for Doha standard are among the no so nice remnants of the city before it was ripped appart and renovated rebuilt. Hotel has amazing view from the top terrace restaurant, good 24hour gym, amazing front desk staff, amazing cleaning staff, room windows don't close properly and noise enters. Rooms are good and tv offers smart connection to Netflix prime for free

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were amazing and provided excellent customer service throughout my visit. The property is very clean, both inside and out, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Breakfast was outstanding—one of the best I’ve ever had at a hotel. The only drawback was that the King room felt a bit small for two people, which is why I didn’t give a full five stars. Overall, though, it’s a great hotel and I would definitely recommend it.

I stayed at Central Inn Souq Waqif during my recent trip to Doha, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice—especially for travelers who want both comfort and convenience without breaking the bank. The location is unbeatable. Just a few minutes’ walk from the lively Souq Waqif, it gave me easy access to all the sights, smells, and sounds of traditional Qatari culture. Whether I wanted to shop for souvenirs, explore the market’s winding alleyways, or grab a bite of local food, everything was right there. The room was clean, spacious, and surprisingly well-equipped for a mid-range hotel. The bed was very comfortable, the AC worked perfectly (which is essential in Doha’s heat!), and I appreciated the reliable Wi-Fi. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it delivers exactly what you need for a relaxing stay. One big plus was the friendly staff—always polite and helpful. They assisted me with directions, arranged transport when I needed it, and offered great local recommendations. Overall, Central Inn Souq Waqif is a great choice for travelers looking for affordability, comfort, and a prime spot in the heart of Doha. I’d definitely stay here again!

All the hotel staff were really friendly and very welcoming. They were polite and helpful. The room was good and spacious, only thing negative was that the windows had gaps at the top so there was a lot of draught and road noise, also quite dirty but once mentioned they cleaned it up quickly The room had 2 toilets and the small toilet had a drainage smell so hardly used it. Did mention to hotel staff. The bed was very comfortable and the staff really looked after us when we requested certain things. They also ordered us a taxi to go airport early morning. The hotel is ideally located near the metro station and there’s restaurants nearby along with mosques. I will definitely come back to this hotel again. Thank you central inn for looking after us

The room was in a good condition when I arrived and the staff were very polite and helpful! The only bits of feedback I have are around the breakfast options! The breakfast options, while there are many are also very limited. I stayed for 6 nights and I only had a proper full breakfast for 1 day. They should think of maybe having a specific cuisine per day and basing their menu for the breakfast buffet on that as well as ensuring the temperature of the food is sufficient through having better food warmers. However, all staff that I encountered during this stay were so helpful. They practically saved my life when I had an allergic reaction and they ensured I was able to access medical care swiftly, so a huge shoutout to the security team at Central Inn! Reception staff and housekeeping were also so incredibly helpful as well as the bell hops and restaurant staff. Another piece of feedback is that our keys had constantly stopped working while we were there which required frequent trips to the reception to get the keys reset. Although this process is very swift, it was an inconvenience as it meant I had to constantly go downstairs to reception to have keys reset and reconfigured. As well as this, it would be great if they had the room numbers printed on the key card as this would make it easier for myself as I would sometimes carry the key cards of others in my group. Overall a 7/10 from me. Great hotel!

I stayed at the Central Inn for one night during my stopover in Doha. The hotel is nicely located, 5 min walk from the Souq Waqif, about 10min to the Al Corniche and many other attractions. I had an issue paying with my AMEX card (so be aware if that’s your payment method) but the staff was really really helpful and understanding, it was resolved and I had a nice stay. The security personnel was also very friendly. The hotel is located at about 15min from Doha Airport. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Doha.

Reception service was OK. sometimes nobody answers the phone. The security outside was very pleasant and helpful.
