Seaview Hotels in Lusail

"Raffles Doha is an excellent hotel, and our stay has been enjoyable overall. However, there is one significant flaw that greatly impacted our experience — the lack of sun umbrellas at the pool. There are over 20 sunbeds by the pool, yet only about 4 are covered with cabanas. The remaining loungers are left completely exposed to the sun. When we arrived around 10 AM, the few shaded spots were already occupied. Unfortunately, the pool staff could not assist and directed us to use the pool at the Fairmont hotel, located on the opposite side of the building. It’s difficult to understand why guests at Raffles — a luxury property — are forced to compete for basic shade, as if staying at a much lower-tier hotel, or are advised to use facilities at a different hotel altogether. This is not only inconvenient — it’s frankly unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. I sincerely hope this issue will be taken seriously and addressed promptly."

"A Memorable Stay at Waldorf Astoria Lusail This was our first time staying at Waldorf Astoria Lusail, though we’ve also had the pleasure of experiencing the West Bay location, which we equally adore. As a family, we rarely revisit hotels, as we enjoy exploring new places, but when we do, it’s because the hotel holds a special place in our hearts. Waldorf Astoria Lusail is now firmly on that list, and we will definitely return. A Special Celebration Thank you for making my husband’s 50th birthday truly unforgettable. The complimentary cake was delicious and paired perfectly with the festive balloons—it was such a thoughtful touch! Food We thoroughly enjoyed our in-room dining experience. The Norwegian salmon and Omaha beef tenderloin were perfectly prepared, and the soup and dessert were delightful. The pricing was reasonable for the quality. The buffet breakfast offered a good variety of options, providing something for everyone. Room Our room was beautifully designed, featuring a bathtub, balcony, and a cozy side sitting area with tasteful décor. However, I did notice one minor inconvenience—there was no phone on the desk, only one near the bed, which meant I had to walk over to make calls. Staff The staff truly elevated our experience with their outstanding hospitality. Special thanks to Elizabeth for delivering the cake, and to Aung, Jul, and Mariam at the Bywater Restaurant for their attentive service. Jason at the pool and Bilmal and Ghem at the concierge area were equally amazing. The team’s warmth and professionalism left a lasting impression. A special shoutout to the kind lady who assisted us at the elevator—I wish I’d caught her name! Hotel Amenities We absolutely loved the hotel overall, but the highlight was the pool—it’s easily one of the best we’ve seen for families with children. The temperature-controlled feature was a bonus, and our little boy had an incredible time. The pool is likely the main reason we’ll be coming back, alongside the exceptional hospitality of the staff. Final Thoughts Waldorf Astoria Lusail is a perfect getaway for families, especially those with kids. We wholeheartedly recommend it and are already looking forward to our next visit."

"Room decor and comfort was superb - and very large and well appointed. Minor gripes were the iPad they gave to control all of the room functions didn’t respond well so if I clicked to turn off the light it didn’t turn off for about 20 seconds, and the TV channels didn’t change at all. This wasn’t a huge problem as I could use the normal controls too, so I just forgot the iPad. The other minor grumble was that the lights are set to either day, relax or off mode, which is a little restrictive if you only want some of the lights on or off, and it was a bit finickity, as from the bed you couldn’t open the blinds and the curtains without switching on all of the lights, so that was a bit annoying - It felt as though they got too obsessed with technology that didn’t provide additional value and actually ended up hampering the experience.  As for the staff they were all amazing, but maybe the guy with glasses who welcomed everybody when they got back went a bit overboard and was quite disingenuous - he was answering a question of mine when he spotted someone else arriving and literally just cut off our conversation and went to say welcome back to them - it was as if he was just picking the people he thought he’d get a tip from! So I’d rather have had him not greet me in a fake way, and just not greeted me at all. The breakfast was exceptional, with a great choice and always plenty of seating. The afternoon tea was okay if not overpriced for the quality of the sandwiches at the cakes, the latter which were pretty generic for such an upscale hotel, I’ve had better afternoon teas at half the price in less upscale cafes. The ambience and the food on the rooftop bar Restaurant was very good, and the views were simply magical! Overall it’s the kind of hotel where you could spend the weekend without leaving and just enjoy being there. I would definitely go back again!"

"Excellent hotel in Doha. Huge, spacious rooms and easy access to the Place Vendome mall. The rooms have everything you need, perfect for families or work. I had my colleagues over and we planned some work in the living area and it really felt like a great 1 bedroom apartment! The only let down was that the breakfast was shockingly poor. The service was extremely slow and options weren’t great. I would highly recommend to cook your own breakfast or head to the mall for much better service. The tables in the breakfast/restaurant are all wobbly too."

"The hotel swimming pool is very good. The room is suitable for a family of four. There is no problem for 2 adults and 2 children."

"The check in process was really smooth, the view is exclusive and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Everything was perfect aside from the fact that they do not have wide spread or varieties during their breakfast"

"A fantastic accommodation experience, beyond expectations. Everything is beautiful, and what is more wonderful is the hotel’s proximity to most of the entertainment venues and beautiful tourist facilities. I strongly recommend the hotel to everyone."
