Dear QL members,
Need your advise to choose apartment for my accommodation (company paid).
Which one better apartment? 7 Pearls or Regency residence? I'm working at Doha.

The term of "better" will be: facility, location, room design, etc.

Thanks

Manika 26, how on earth is 7 Pearls in 'outer area'?? It is in Al Sadd, which is actually very central and part of the 'real', original centre of Doha, unlike those vast expanses of new-built compounds in places like Gharrafa. Or is the centre of Doha now in West Bay or something?

My advice is definitely to go SEE FOR YOURSELF what both places are like and which one you personally prefer before you commit to anything, or if you are not in Doha yet, make sure that whichever you choose it is with the understanding that the company will allow you to change your mind within the first month or so. Or, if you are very fussy about where and how you live, you could try to revise the contract provision to 'xxx type apartment OF MY OWN CHOOSING so that you can later relocate to wherever you wish and are not tied to company accommodation. However, even if this is not possible, rest assured that both are decent buildings and not by any meas the lower end of Doha apartments. You'll be fine!

I am staying by 7 Pearls area, and its actually not that bad, quiet in the evenings and you can avoid the speed bumps when you know where they are, there are lots of places nearby without being to close for comfort.Cant comment on room design but the builindgs look lovely.

7 pearl is not so good. no idea about regency residence. try somewhere near the city. 7 pearl is outer part of doha and rubbish area around only closure thing is lulu centre.

CAUTION

A big speed break near 7 pearl will break all visitors car/people and they will never visit u.

Free delivery for pregnant women on the way to hamad is there. You can consider that hump as pre delivery centre.
