simply excellent

Hotel is a little old and looking tired. The lobby area is rather dated as well. The gym is so so but the pool is awesome! It has a great view and is very windy. The rooms are average - 3 star, at best. Poor selection of cable TV channels.

This hotel is overpriced, over rated and about as unfit for residence as a hotel can get. The environmental system is grossly inadequate to preclude cigarette and cigar smoke plus other noxious odors from permeating other guest rooms. The On-duty managers do not follow-up on any issue presented. The food is of low quality, limited and grossly overpriced. There are no provisions for ADA persons. The rooms are aging but not in a positive manner. The external noise at night from both hotel related activities and local and adjacent construction activities preclude a nights sleep and heaven forbid if you place a "do not disturb sign" on your door. The entire hotel staff will come ringing the bell and be apologitic as can be but the damage is done once woken. I am now recovering from a nasty viral infection as a result of the airborne contaminants in the room coming from the inadequate air handling system. I was placed there by my company as it is the closest place where one can stay to our project located about 50 miles away from Doha. I cannot change locations as this is where I need to be due to logisitcs but I will hopefully be vacating Doha as a result of illness shortly. In a nutshell I have worked in 63 countries and stayed at numerous Intercontinental hotels and this is the least desirable Intercontinental Hotel I have had the opportunity to stay at. On a positive note the basic employees attempt to do a "asthetically" appeasing job in maintenance and the service staff will do whatever they can or are empowered to do for you. This however is a typical traight wherever you may stay at with anything one star and above. Definitely I would recommend the Ramada over the Doha Intrcontinental Hotel or better yet the Marriot. Both are excellent. If you have money to throw away and care not about what you receive in return than the Doha Intercontinental is the place to stay. Lots of glitz but nothing else in return.

I had the pleasure of staying at the InterContinental Hotel Doha for one week during November while traveling on business and found the service to be superior.

During my stay, I had the opportunity to dine at Za Moda (the Italian restaurant) and it was outstanding. The chef and his staff are to be commended for their talent in providing guests a very pleasure dining experience.

Throughout the hotel, the staff were readily available to assist guests and to ensure comfort and service in every aspect.

This was my first time to stay at the InterContinental Hotel and I will definitely be back!!!
