Souq Al Wakra Hotel Qatar By Tivoli

Quaint, chic and charming - located within an old souq, incorporating the architectural elements of courtyards, thatched roofs and mud walls, the hotel is an idyllic retreat offering easy access to the beach and vibrant cafes and restaurants that now occupy the souq. Offering privacy, all the modern amenities, an exquisite onsite restaurant and multiple relaxation spaces, this is a definite bucket list destination.

Nearly everything was top quality. The hotel itself boasts a beautiful architecture based on traditional Qatari courtyard houses. The room was beautifully decorated with lovely marble flooring and beautiful mud-like walls and false timber ceiling. The staff are courteous, helpful and friendly. There's often free Arabic coffee at the reception where you can help yourself to a cup as you wait for help, a taxi or your valet. Beautiful touch of Arab hospitality. The hotel itself is pretty much part of Souq Al Wakra. Once the sun sets, make sure to make your way down the promenade for an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes, little shops and everything in between. At one time during breakfast, I heard Fairuz's Zahrat El Mada'en playing on the restaurant speakers. Made my day as a Palestinian. This is an establishment which stands on the right side of humanity and history, as does most of Qatar for that matter. PS: The England football team stayed at this hotel during the 2022 World Cup. You'll see their signed shirts and photos up in one of the courtyards.

We had a wonderful stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful, great service attitude. Rooms were beautiful, clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good. Location was perfect, not in the city but close to the city and the beach and restaurants in the area. When laying at the pool the staff came with cold water and cold towels to cool down in the heat. Our flight was scheduled late in the evening so the staff was kind to arrange a late checkout, shower facilities and changing rooms etc so that we could freshen up and repack before heading to the airport. Before leaving we had the most amazing spa treatment and got to use the lovely hydra pool and steam room. An extra thank you to the amazing staff: Wapang in the reception who helped us with the late checkout, Viraj at the pool for taking such good care of us, Anne at the spa who was so kind and did the relaxing treatment and last but not least Peter and Enock who helped with our luggage!

Exceptional service I felt like I was at home with the hospitality I experienced. If there was an option to give above five stars I would. The entire staff couldn’t have done more for me. The care was so personal and everything was always taken care of. Kutub looked after my room service which was always above 100 % and Hassan was always taking care of things when I was leaving or coming back after a day out to make sure everything was perfect for me. I really appreciated it. I am always very particular with my needs while I am on holiday and honestly the entire staff and management here exceeded my expectations and I never had the words to describe how grateful I was. I am also vegetarian and the breakfast food as well as restaurants on site always had nice food available.

Such a refreshing change from the usual high rise hotel! This hotel is single storey with bedrooms set around beautiful, tranquil courtyards, some with fountains, one with a lovely pool and palm trees. From the breakfast courtyard, you can see through to the sea. We even saw camels being ridden past one morning. Breakfast buffet was excellent - wide choice and very fresh. From the hotel, you can walk straight onto the sea front where there are plenty of other restaurants and cafes. The souq is adjacent, although it often seemed closed. All the hotel staff were very pleasant and efficient. We would love to return.
