Raffles Doha

We were welcomed by Maaz who was extremely incredible as a host, he was informative and patient and very attentive! To have him welcome us made us feel so relaxed. Raffles Doha is driven by the kind and gracious people who work there. Blaise from the acoustic bar was also an amazing waiter and very explanatory! We had the best time

I cannot fault the property on anything

Felt like a Prince living there

I had an exceptional stay at Raffles in September this year. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. I have stayed in some lovely hotels around the world but I genuinely think this particular Raffles takes top prize. I loved the little touches too, like from Shiva and the house keeping team who thoughtfully added a Raffles bookmark to my novel 😀 and who arranged flowers, that my family bought for me, in a vase - all without asking.

Nothing

The view, the food, and the in-room dining and butler service teams are perfect.

The hotel design feels overly extravagant, but when it comes to details and comfort, a lot is missing. The room layout is inconvenient and makes moving between areas unnecessarily complicated. I also expected better coordination between the hotel teams. When I asked for a late checkout, I was told it wasn’t possible, which I respected, so I rushed to prepare and be ready on time. However, despite that, I ended up being delayed because the security team took around twenty minutes to arrive, and when they did, they couldn’t open the safe. Later, while I was leaving with the luggage team, they asked me again to “wait for security”!! As a guest, I shouldn’t be the one waiting for them! it should be the other way around. *By the way, their safety box doesn’t have any instructions. It’s the first time in my life I’ve seen this in a hotel.
