Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha

Excellent service, attentive staff, great dining experience, good sized rooms with very functional layout.

Alles wunderbar

Had a room with the only window in the hotel that had blown and could not see through it.

Staff were lovely and the facilities were perfect. Only little let down was the buffet breakfast and lunch were bland and was not worth the price. Also we went during Ramadan, my wife was pregnant and wanted to drink in the foyer area(which is allowed), however one of the security officer was very rude and told her not to drink, even though it was clear she was pregnant.

We stayed at Rixos for a week (May to June 2025) and it was great, the rooms were clean and the service was fantastic, especially from Manoj, Qaisar and Oye. I would highly recommend it for families and i would stay here again.

Buon hotel 5* molto adatto a coppie con bambini,ottime stanze. Ristorante internazionale. Bravi tutti i ragazzi che si adoperano per darti il miglior servizio.

Loved everything about the property absolutely delightful

Second Stay This Year – Warm Staff & Beautiful Sea View This was my second visit to Rixos Gulf within the year, and once again, the warmth and friendliness of the staff made it a truly welcoming experience. The rooms are lovely — bright, clean, and beautifully designed — and the sea view is always a treat to wake up to. A big shoutout to the team outside who are consistently helpful, always smiling, and quick to open doors and assist with Ubers — their attentiveness really stands out. A few things to note for improvement: • I was surprised to see that the pool near the beach, which was previously adults-only, now includes children. While I completely understand the importance of family spaces, it did make it harder to fully relax at times. Since there are two pools, it might be worth considering keeping one dedicated to adults for a more balanced experience. • Our room was cleaned daily during our stay, but on the day before checkout, we returned to find it hadn’t been done. We asked and it was sorted quickly, but it felt a little out of step with the otherwise consistent service. Not a huge issue, just a detail that stood out. Lastly, while the food was enjoyable — especially at breakfast — it would be a nice touch to have themed dinner nights for more variety across the week. Overall, still a great experience. The genuine kindness of the staff and the setting by the sea make it a memorable place to stay.

Hotel is only a ten minute taxi ride from the airport. The staff are all welcoming and friendly. We had a sea view room which was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of sunbeds, staff removed towels that had been left there without occupancy. The buffet restaurant was good, if a touch busy at times but the best was the steak restaurant. Not only was the food top quality but it is also a nice quiet place to have pre or post dinner drinks. The staff at the outdoor bar were good as were the staff at the snack bar. The city is accessible by uber or taxi. Overall a really pleasant stay.

Nice

My stay was not as relaxing as hoped-very loud music is played until approximately 11pm, this might be quieter on the non-sea view side though. Finding a table for lunch each day was challenging and took 10-15 mins, the restaurant is not large enough and the layout means you constantly bump into people. The staff were lovely though!

Je remercie beaucoup cetait magnifique

Lack of service- no acknowledgment from staff not very attentive compared to dubai. Rixos doha will not recommend to anyone service is poor food is bang on average. Had to change hotels mid way. Doha as country is beautiful but what a shame rixos gulf hotel is operating with. 2* service definitely not a 5*

Fantastic location close to the airport and close enough to the hustle but far enough for peace and quiet. Overall definitely recommend as the staff are fantastic and have all the facilities you need. Great value for money and a place I’d come back to when in Doha

Absolutely amazing experience. Really polite, friendly and family friendly. I would recommend with hotel for everyone.

Excellent service. Nice hotel

Overall, it was a very nice holiday, but there were a few things that really bothered us. There were clearly too few sun umbrellas – even the staff confirmed this. There were by far not enough for everyone, even though the resort wasn’t particularly full. The food was good, but almost the same every day. It also felt like they were cutting corners: one day they offered Nutella, but 30 minutes later it was suddenly no longer available – only after repeatedly asking did they finally bring it out. Ice cream was also often unavailable, even though it was 38 degrees Celsius. To us, it looked like they were deliberately trying to save costs.

We just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone at Rixos for looking after us so well during our week long stay at the hotel last week. The hotel is excellently appointed, and in a good location making it easily accessible to the main attractions, and our room was perfect. The food at both breakfast and for evening dinner as part of our half board package was really good, with plenty of choice and variety. Overall, we had a lovely time and everyone without exception was warm, friendly and nothing but helpful. Just a notable mention however for everyone who works in the Farmhouse restaurant at breakfast and for dinner. They work tirelessly and always with a smile. It’s really hard to single out any one individual given everyone was so attentive and welcoming, but a special thank you to Duncan and Kiki for their hard work and care and attention they gave us at breakfast and evening dinner - they are a huge credit and ambassadors for Rixos Doha. We really hope to be able to come back to Doha and the Rixos again.

l'hébergement est bien globalement restauration suffisante et variée le personnel très accueillant disponible et professionnel cependant à la piscine c'est la catastrophe tour de la plage aussi peu de transat peu de parasol c'est vraiment la lutte des personnes se lève à 3h du matin pour réserver les places une catastrophe ça a vraiment beaucoup nuit à notre séjour
