인기 도하 더 리츠칼튼 호텔

제가 살아본 리츠칼튼 중 최악입니다. 방 비품은 수십년째 업데이트가 안되고, 소파가 분리되어 있고, 벽이 벗겨지고, 욕조가 검고, 충전포트가 불편합니다. 한밤중 3시에 화재 경보기가 울리고 모두 아래층으로 내려갔고 직원들은 30~40분 동안 계속 벨을 울렸지만 직원들은 그것을 끌 수 없었다. 그런 호텔에서 2,000불 이상 살 가치가 없다고 느껴집니다. 정말 수영장 같은 게 있긴 하지만 40도가 넘는 고열은 밖에서 기다리지 않으니 평가는 방의 질로만 따질 수 밖에 없다. 도하와 같은 새롭고 고급스러운 도시에서 이렇게 오래된 호텔을 만난다는 것은 예상치 못한 일이었고 실망스러웠습니다.

I normally stay at 4 star hotels when I travel, but I found a great deal on this hotel and decided to splurge. Not sure if the great experience I had there is normal for any Ritz, this region of the world, or any 5 star hotel, but it was very nice and I think I need to do 5 star travel from now on! The hotel reached out in advance by email to welcome me and see if I had any special requests. The room was very large and comfortable, with all the expected technology and amenities. Balcony was small but had a nice view. A plate of baklava was waiting for me in the room. Great toiletries by dyptique. My booking included breakfast and dinner buffet. Lots of variety, regularly replenished, has indoor and outdoor seating (I recommend sitting outdoors - better ambiance and the waitstaff there were particularly attentive). This was my first time doing halfboard and I’m a fan. Any hotel staff I interacted with were very helpful and went above and beyond at nearly every opportunity. The hotel has beautiful grounds and a lot of amenities including a beach, indoor and outdoor pools, spa, numerous bars and restaurants, etc. On my last day after checking out I used the pool and was able to shower and change in the spa facilities. Tried cocktails at the pool bar and B-lounge (one of the restaurants on the property). Very tasty but my experience in Doha (at the hotel and elsewhere) is that drinks there are incredibly weak so it’s mostly a waste of money. I traveled solo and didn’t see any solo travelers at the hotel. Lots of families, couples, business travelers attending conferences at the hotel. I didn’t feel strange but little opportunity to meet people if that’s what you were hoping for. In terms of the hotel’s location, there’s really no where to go by foot but Ubers come quickly, are relatively cheap, and nothing is that far in Doha. All in all, would definitely recommend staying at the Ritz.
