any one knows about al rumella east hotel in city center.

yes if rate is ok then will want to go ahead. the other women will prob have her own room as much as she would like to be in with us. dont know if they do a triple room and it would mean keep moving around. i dont mind having a double room till my mother gets there. i think you can contact me private. thanks again

I will check with the travel people. do you want proceed if the rate is OK

i arrive on the 1st of june and leave on the 15th. my mum is coming on the 3rd i think and another women on 6/7th for 3/4 days. thanks.

does anyone know this hotel. Al Liwan Suites Hotel. looks really nice on the website but what kind of area is it in and whats the outside like.

I will ask our travel guy again for updated rate. when exactly your dates. This place is always full.

wow. that would be so nice of you. i would def stay there if this was the rate per night per room. if you dont mind and its not to much trouble for you.

I just wated to tell you that how cheep is the luxuory here. LOL. The rate is correct and quoted to me by one of the supervisors unless he told me a wrong price. If u want I try to get u Ramada corporate rate from one of my friends. he last time it was QR 450 including breakfast. now not sure. I can ask if u r serious about that. Comedy night is in the 1st week of June.

maybe that was the wrong title. lol. think i would rather eat than play tennis too. sl you are joking about that price. really if you are not then you are telling the wrong person at that price. i only want a nice hotel to lay my head and a couple of the days i wont be sleeping there as im going camping ( i hope) the only time i will at this mo be going to the ramada is when its the comedy night in june. you will see me i will be the burnt one.

I think he is lying (when did he work overtime in this century anyway). let's see whethere he will show up in Ramada 1st floor bar tonight. keep your fingers crossed.

sl will do... Lets see when Richard123 has a free night/evening

Fancy about staying in Ramada Penthouse on the new wing. They told me QR 7500 a night. very cheep :)

Call me also when U r going

I feel rejected now :o(

Hmmm tennis it is then - bugger I have to move instead of eating!

- I took the blue pill and found myself alive i Qatar - wish I had taken the red and stayed in Europe

Well I did think about that, but Richard is kind of cute as well. So maybe next time you come down I will take you out...

thought you was asking me out on a date then, lmao

fancy some dinner tonight in one of the new restaurants? - sorry for the tread heist

The Ramada may be a good alternative. The new extension has opened its bars and restaurants which are pretty good. I have heard that the rooms are really good too especially those with the Arabic theme but I am not sure if they are yet ready. Give it a shot.

i did try this hotel b4. having been looking for the e-mail they sent me and im sure it was 800riyals a night. i have e-mailed them again so i will wait and see. thanks

for the oasis my friend got me an offer of 400 single 500 double which i thought was ok has the hotel quoted me 600 and 700 riyals a night. but even my friend said stay somewhere else.

Nice way of putting it, richard123. km, why didn't you try Ramada?

The Oasis is a dump but it has some charm nonetheless. The beachclub is shabby but the pool is nice and the people who go there are fun, friendly and generally good looking. They are mostly Lebanese but also other nationalities go there on Fridays and Saturdays.

The rooms are shabby but I have two friends who lived there for more than a year and they love it because they say the staff are really helpful and friendly. As E46 says, there is a Chinese restaurant there which is good and an Italian which is less good. Both serve alcohol.

The Oasis bar is really crap though. Full of Chinese hookers and deadbeat old white guys, loser Indians and other detritus.

My friends who live there pay QR400 per night. As a visitor, expect to pay abnout QR700.

wow thank you so much for the info. im going in 2 and a half weeks so need a hotel asap. you dont know by any chance what the promotion is at mimmennium hotel. i have been on there website and put my dates in and it came up 1300 riyals. i know that cant mean my whole stay. i do like the look of the movenpick but it hasnt got an outside pool but price is good

One of our regional BDMs received a free stay offer and asked me to check it out.

If you are on a budget, take a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Each of these hotels charge Qr100/- for airport pickup, with an additional Qr50/- per hour of waiting charges.

does anyone have info on this hotel. i know im been a pain sorry

do you have any idea how much this hotel is as i cant find a web site. thanks

Try to go down to Khor al-Uddeid (the Inland Sea) - it's still breathtakingly beautiful (albeit a little dirty in places) and a welcome change after all these years of living in a European capital.

I worked for radio and QTV channel 37.

Have a great time when you're there, but bear in mind that the place has changed a bit, and not just in a positive way - more people than before which of course means more traffic, noise and criminality. Gone are the days when you could leave things hanging around, and watch out for your cell-phone!!!

yes i have seen from pics on net that its has changed from when i was there. even here in uk sometimes i drive around and think wow that wasnt there last time i came this way. i did have an offer of a flat and house to stay in while i was there. (they belong to qatari male school friends) but then i was just worried about at the airport how it says you have to say a hotel you are staying in and giving a males name. also my mum is flying out after me and another women who i used to babysit for. what did you do in doha when you lived there. i left about 89/90

Hi KM. I lived in Doha between 1979-1989 and returned for a brief holiday in April last year. You won't recognise the place, and the Corniche now has a really beautiful skyline. I can't help you much when it comes to recommending places to lodge (I stayed with some Qatari friends), but brace yourself for a big surprise... After years of life in Europe, I had forgotten how kind and considerate the Qataris are (yes, yes, yes!).

By the way, there are still a few people from the 80s working at QBS!!!

I'm sure you'll enjoy the visit.

Visit DC. Sandra Williams is gone but the school is still there.

i dont know wht year you were in Doha ... but you will find the place change a lot. You wont recognize the place.

Hope you enjoy your stay in Doha.

i have got my factor 50. im coming to see how qatar has changed from my school days. i do remember the weather after living in qatar for nearly 5 years. this was the only time i could come. im not coming to cook myself. im coming to visit old friends and shop and just sight see. i am lucky i have a partner who has said go and enjoy yourself he will look after the kids. this holiday has been fitted round when it was best for my family for me to leave (work and school) i have a visit planned for doha college ect... when i started there is was at the old dc and we was in cabin be we moved to the new dc.

e4, i know wht mean e4. Lots of brits like to come to the gulf for the sunshine. But i do think coming around this month / summer month will cook you up :-)

Kello Km , Try this one Al Liwan Suites Hotel http://www.alliwansuites.com

If you want to unwind outside Doha. Check Out Alkhor theres only one hotel there. alsultanbeachresort.com

Not Crowded. Pool is clean Food is not so bad at all. Staff are nice.

Oasis still sucks- nothing changed in there.

I think that Ramada would be really so much better!

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

There is a restaurant in the Oasis, imaginatively called "Chinese Restaurant". Food, staff and ambience are pleasant, although ac a bit too cool in places.I am new to Doha, and have checked out all of the "Chinese" restaurants, and failed to find one worth going back to, and only 2 pretending to be really Chinese (the Oasis was not one of these - not a Chinese in sight).

If anyone knows differently, pls let me know.

The Ramada is a good suggestion as it has a lovely swimming pool area and you should be able to book it within your budget.

A good idea is to perhaps even contact the hotel direct and ask for a rate .... as a 2 week stay should be worth a discount.

Do you know anyone here that can book for you and get a corporate rate?

Good Luck.

ana fi wahad kelb kabir!

i was thinking of paying around about 700 riyals per room per night

Don't worry about Qube. It's not physically attached to the hotel and the patrons have nothing to do with the hotel. Besides, I know plenty of people who go there looking for nothing but a drink.

I recommend Ramada if it's within your budget.

i did think about the ramada cause i remember it. but isnt that where the cube is and i heard about the pro's that work there

km, it's about 45-47 degrees Celsius these days and it ain't gonna get any cooler!

I meant a per night budget. Did you try the Ramada? Contact [email protected] and check.

Any place is worth visiting once.

yes has i type its raining really bad. i think i just heard the wind take my daughter roof off her play house outside

do you mean cause its going to be hot. i never really thought about the weather. it was the only time i could really come. i am leaving partner and 2 kids behind and its like a reunion. it seemed like a good idea at the time. i will prob never come again. budget is about £1000ish. if i could get less thats great. i dont intend to stay in hotel all the time. i want to sightsee and i plan to go camping for a few days. i got a good price on Al Muntazah Plaza Hotel. the photo's look nice on the inside (rooms) but the outside looks yuk.

Novita, there's a commodity here that is considered precious in other parts of the world. Sunshine.

More like sunburn really.

km, try an online reservation. What's your budget?

And if you're not staying in the hotel for any length of time you could do worse.

I once had a friend stay at Merweb Hotel and she called reception to ask if they had a swimming pool.

The answer, "Swim in the tub".

to be honest ... why on earth you want to come to Qatar in this month??? Why dont u spend your money going somewhere else ???

thanks its so hard to tell when most dont have websites or photo's or give you a diffrent price over the net and the phone. i think im changing my mind about the oasis. i am living in the past i know. its just that i said i wanted to stay there and i got a bit of money knocked off. i wanted one with a swimming pool. i must get abit of a tan b4 i go home. i will be in doha for 2 weeks. my mum and another old friend are coming out after me. marriot is very expensive i think. if i was staying a few days then yes but it all add's up for 2 weeks. i am dreading this holiday. i was staying with a friend but then other people said they was coming with me and my friend went to visit her father who is ill. what im i going to do. i feel like i could just cancel it.

Oasis is a dump and kind of sleazy.

They used to have a good Chinese restaurant. Not sure if it's there anymore.

the hotel is old ... consider one of the oldest in the area i think. Why dont u go to marriot? It is only next door and IMHO it is nicer.
