Excellent Hotel in Doha
I have been here three days. Excellent describes my experience. I stayed here a year ago when the hotel was still being completed so it had none of the facilities a traveller expects from a 5 star hotel. Now the hotel is complete and I am impressed. There is now an excellent gym. It is large, fully equipped with the latest equipment, loads of cardio machines and a very knowledgeable attendant. There is an excellent pool which has a large area for just lounging around, stocked with towels, books, newspapers and the most comfortable sun loungers I have ever fallen asleep on. There is a sauna and steam room adjoining the pool which are small but very well maintained by the staff. The food has improved enormously. I have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner here and I am impressed with all. Last night was seafood buffet night and it was superb. A vast array of fish, shellfish, prawns and also meat and chicken for non-fish lovers. All of it excellent except maybe for the large prawns which I felt were over-cooked slightly but thats a personal thing.
My room was large and comfortable. Staff were pleased to bring an extra bed for my daughter. The A/C was actually too good as it got cold at night.
The location is not great. There is nothing of interest within walking distance so its a taxi ride to anywhere. I didnt feel this was a huge issue as taxis seemed plentiful.
I would say that it is good value for money. There are so many offers around on the web that it is worth spending 10 minutes having a search. You could save 50% as I did.
I would definitely recommend the Grand Regency, Doha.
Unique Quality: Excellent gym. Excellent pool. Excellent food.
