Room n washroom was small. Not enough space
Front desk staff was very rude. When ever we asked her some information never explained well and informed us to come later. It happened 2 to 3 times. When ever we see her on the front desk we don't go and wait for the next staff to come and then we go to the front desk for help.

We arrived by taxi and that didn’t have a meter. The driver tried charging us an exorbitant price. A hotel employee spoke with the driver to resolve the issue, which saved us a lot of money.

The women working at checkin were extremely helpful.

This hotel is in a poor neighborhood in Doha, Qatar. All of the hotels in this area are old and not renovated. This hotel has limited Dining options, because there are so many people with cancelled flights who get free lunch at this hotel. When I came for lunch and dinner, there was no place to sit. Also, the breakfast was terrible. The most disturbing experience was the arrival experience. The security rudely joked my suitcase out of my hand, and told me to leave my suitcase by the door before checking in. There is an unacceptable and an acceptable way to speak with guests. After all, without guests it is impossible for the hotel to make money and pay its employees. *** When the room was cleaned, the staff moved the furniture and my shoes, but did not return the furniture and my shoes to the proper spot. When I arrived back at the hotel at night, I had to tell the staff to move the furniture back. I should have not had to do this. Terrible service, and very little professionalism from the staff.

WARNING: NO GUESTS!

Hotels.c*m doesn't tell you something important about this place: they have a strict \"no guests\" policy. I was informed of this when I checked in, but I foolishly imagined they would never enforce it. Wrong! I brought a guest to my room and they enforced it aggressively, confronting me in a way that would never happen in the U.S. It was a horrible experience. Don't mess with these folks!

Not the best experience Ive had

I was not impressed at all with this hotel. These things may seem trivial but I travel alot and comfort is very important. It ruined my experience. I arrived late off of a 17 hour flight and arrived around 1am. I checked in and had no help from anyone to take my luggage or explain where anything was. In fact I was literally pointed to the lift. When I got to the room I discovered the requests I had made (which were confirmed to me by email as ok) were not in this room. I paid for a bath and a 'city view' which it had neither. I went back down to the front desk only to be fobbed off. I also needed a power adaptor which I was told could not be provided (first hotel ever to not lend me one). I asked if one of the staff could possibly lend me one of theirs as I had to call home to let my family know I had arrived ok. Eventually one of the staff obliged. I later discovered that there was a plug in the room under the desk that could take my plug. If they had just showed me it would have saved alot of stress! There was no bath as promised by this hotel ( I would not have booked here is I had know this). Overall I found the staff for the most part disinterested in the comfort or pleasure of my stay and even a little rude. I was to stay up to 7 nights depending on my schedule. I had pre-booked 3 nights and extended but chose to leave to another hotel. The room itself was only ok for the money. The pictures look way better than the actual hotel. Housekeepers were nicer than anyone els

Dislikes - Air Conditioning in room sounds like a jet taking off, Safe has a plug socket inside(great idea) but does not work, Pool furniture (loungers etc) worn out, No where else in hotel other than pool area (which is Female only on Saturdays) to relax in the sun.

Good for business trips

Safir could use some updates to infrastructure(water drains) and staff.
Employees were very timid throughout the stay which didn't make for a very welcoming environment. Once, I asked for a plate and knife from room service and was told that there was a charge of 10 Qatari Riyals. When asked what type of policy this was, they ended up waiving the fee. But I was told it was a rule for guest not buying food from the hotel.

Housekeeping are not 100% thorough when it comes to cleaning(don't move furniture when vacuuming,dusting). But when asked to do something, they were quick to get it done.

The hotel has seen its day, but for a short business trip, it works.

Good hotel but bad late checkout policy

Generally the hotel is good , room is decent size and clean , smoking 5th floor need a lot more ventilation from the point you reach the 5th floor the place really smells different and the rooms have no adequate ventilation for smokers

The only bad experience I had was being very strict in late check out in a really dogmatic way ... other hotels in doha I have stayed in before have show a lot more flexibility in this respect

The hotel area has some low end restaurants but no decent or fast food around

Also the laundry services is extremely expensive ...everyone should completely avoid and use the laundry near by the hotel

Incredible value for a quick stay

We picked this hotel for a 12 hour airport layover in Doha based on its price and ratings. We were thrilled by how friendly and competent the staff was and the room was wonderful for the quick overnighter. The staff set up wake up calls at 5am and came through and then provided their shuttle to the airport. The room was very nice and everything worked great. Thanks to the staff and Safir Hotel Doha for a very pleasant experience

Good value for a short stay

The hotel is comfortable, clean and well appointed and good value for a short stay. For a longer stay, think twice. My room was just big enough to fit the requisite furniture - bed, desk, chair and table - improved by a big picture window, but with a view onto a shabby street. The main local feature is a builder's souq. The hotel food is OK, a little over-salted for my taste, but the menu is limited and poorly balanced. There are a few local restaurants to choose from but they are at the very low cost end of the spectrum. Security is good, possibly a little over-bearing at times. For longer stays you'll need to consider your taxi budget, but getting a taxi outside is easy.

This was a much nicer hotel than I expected for the price - the room was really nice, the breakfast was good, the staff pleasant and efficient. I wasn't there long enough to try out all the facilities (pool, etc). It's about 10 minutes or less from the airport by taxi. The hotel is new, and prices may go up when it's more established, but at the current price or even a bit more, I would happily stay here again if I pass through Qatar.

Okay hotel for stop-over

Okay hotel for stop-over. More tourist hotel than 4 star. A little worn bathroom, but but big and spacious room. Near Souq Waqif. Water in pool is not heated and cold in evening. Service at front desk was a litte odd. During check in they started discussing price with another customer and generally front desk was not friendly. Security staff was great. Make sure you ask for blue taxi for going somewhere, or else they will get you an over twice as expensive driver without a meter but no extra comfort from the taxies. No taxis/shuttles outside hotel as they told us before arriving when asked for an early taxi.
