Given the reputation of your hotel, I expected a seamless and enjoyable experience, but unfortunately, several issues significantly impacted my stay. Doha is amazing - this hotel is not.
1. **Room Not Ready on Arrival** – Despite asking in advance that my room would be ready, I was made to wait upon arrival, which was both inconvenient and frustrating after a long journey. I understand we were early, but they could have told us it wouldn’t be available instead of saying yes first.
2. **Breakfast Not Included** – I was surprised to find that breakfast was not included, even though I had understood it would be when I booked. This was an unexpected inconvenience.
3. **Unacceptable Poolside Service** – The service by the pool was extremely slow, with over an hour’s wait just for a portion of fries. This level of delay is simply not acceptable for a hotel of your standard.
4. **Issues with Birds at Dining Areas** – Birds attacked our food, yet no staff intervened to address the issue or offer assistance. This made dining outside quite unpleasant.
5. **Taxi Booking Issue** – The taxi representative at your hotel arranged a cab for us to the wrong destination, and we were forced to pay extra to correct the mistake. This lack of attention to detail was both frustrating and costly.
