Top hotels in Al Souq
Oryx Airport Hotel
Broken tv, kids running up and down the hallways all night, phone in the adjoining ringing constantly. If you can leave the airport (which I chose not to) do so.

The St. Regis Doha
I had anticipated a more luxurious experience at The St. Regis Hotel; however, the service did not meet the high standards typically associated with the brand. I shared my feedback with the reception team at check-out, and I hope to see improvements in the future for a better overall stay.
