Wonderful staff. We had a sink leak and told the front desk and they fixed it right away.
I would suggest renewing the carpets in the rooms because they are getting outdated. However, the room is comfortable and clean. Also, the breakfast could be better.
The location was excellent and the connection to the mall is convenient.

While the building itself deserves 4–5 stars, the service ranks among the worst I’ve experienced anywhere in the Middle East or Asia. I stayed for just 2 nights (36 hours total), and not once did anyone clean or service my room.

On the first day, I left at 7:30 am for work and returned at 4 pm to find the room completely untouched. I called reception to collect the room service tray from the night before—two hours later, no one had come. I finally had to place it in the corridor myself. They eventually appeared much later, waking me up as I was already asleep.

From the moment I arrived, the reception staff were unfriendly—no greeting, no smile—and when I left, no goodbye either. The only staff who showed any professionalism were the concierge and the valet.

For a hotel of this category, such negligence is unacceptable.

NYE Experience at the Torch

My family and I decided to stay here during new year. The room was nice, larger than in the pictures but dimmer than expected. The LED lights inside the room were cool and everything was pretty high-tech, however there was some issues controlling the AC temperature with the iPad provided. Moreover, the view was underwhelming due to it being blocked by the outer part of the Torch building. Room service could also use improvement as it took 2 hours before we received our requested water bottles and extra towels. Overall, our stay here was average and didn't greatly contribute to our new year celebration.

The hotel is nice near the stadium and near shopping mall (walking distance) all the staff were great except the room service.
I have a 6 month old baby and i needed help to steralize her milk bottles so i can feed her again .. all he said was i can’t help you! Which was very disappointing .. after guest service made it easy and helped thanks to her understanding
Also room service called me late night past 12 am telling me he billed the wrong amount for the night before and needs 5 qar more and wanted me to pay NOW ! I was in bed trying to sleep .. how can someone call late at night he could have waited till morning and it was his mistake it’s not like i gave him less! Very unprofessional from him

Not a 5 star by any means

To call this a 5 star hotel is crazy. I’ve had better stays at 3 or 4 star hotels. The facility is pretty lackluster and the rooms are kind of dated. Some details:

1: this IS a smoking friendly property. Although there are no smoking placards near the elevators, there are ash trays all around the property and people smoking at all times, and no one tells them to stop. Our first room smelled horribly like smoke, so I asked to be moved. We were moved to yet another room that smelled like smoke… They offered air freshener which helped only momentarily.

2: The shower overflowed constantly all over the floor. Also the water temperature was not consistent. It was scalding hot then would become freezing cold.

3: there are no facilities to buy needs on site. There’s 2 restaurants which are extremely expensive and one coffee shop which charged me $20 for TWO bottles of water. I’m not even kidding. The charge was $19.38 usd. For 2 large bottles of water.

4: The reception process was less than warm and welcoming. You’d think at a 5 star hotel it would be a bit more friendly.

Do not stay anywhere else except The Torch

This is the best hotel to stay in Doha. Days spent in this hotel will be memorable for life and will serve as a benchmark for all your future hotel bookings. Superb rooms with custom ambience lighting, excellent infrastructure, hanging pool, excellent dining in revolving restaurant, high class breakfast in the Flying Carpet restaurant. Exceeds all your expectations. Cherry on the cake... the hotel provide direct access to the Villagio mall, a mall where night never falls and shopping, dining and entertainment blend into a memorable living experience.

Overall a wonderful stay. Kept having issues with the Ipad controlled curtains. Good thing I was there for only 2 nights, it first failed when I arrived, they fixed it then failed again the morning I left so not a big deal and they were half open However should have been fixed right the first time. Other than that it is a wonderful stay. Hotel attached to a mall is really nice. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Cold weather issue

Cons.:
As rare as it maybe that Doha gets a cold weather, we just had that during our visit to Doha, a cold weather (12-16 C).

The problem is that we stayed in a very cold room, the temperature read 17C, and the hotel staff said: \"nothing we can do about that\".

There no toilet washing hose, the one that is usually and necessary available in Muslim countries.

No taxis available at the entrance of the hotel, you have to cross the street for one.

Pros.:

The available mini bar at arrival is FREE, you only pay for fill outs.

Speedy chick in/out

The room is totally controlled from an iPad available in the room... curtains, AC, TV, Music and lights with different ambient colours to choose from.

This is the most interesting part I think..They provide you with a menu for pillows! I have not tried it, but you get maybe 4 or 5 types of pillows to select from.

The location of the hotel puts you with a walking distance to all Aspire zone facilities such as the Aquatic centre, the football stadium, Aspire academy and the villagio shopping mall.

Ideally located for Khalifa Stadium

As I was attending a football match at the Khalifa Stadium this hotel was perfectly located, otherwise the location is not ideal. The fact that the room was controlled by an iPad really appealed to me (lights, room service, curtains) - If your a technophobe then not so great.
