The location of your accommodation is a strategic point when planning a trip. And even though it is a relatively small city, deciding where to stay in Doha can be a difficult task.
 
To help you choose your hotel, I have prepared a guide with the best neighborhoods to stay in Doha.
 
But first, we need to make one thing clear: accommodation in Doha is not cheap. There are no hostels and Airbnb is still quite limited in the country. But don’t be discouraged! In this post, I will give you some good tips to help you save money when booking your hotel.
 

Where to Stay in Doha: Best Neighborhoods and Hotels Tips

The best neighborhoods and areas to stay in Doha are: Souq Waqif , Msheireb , West Bay , The Pearl and Old Airport . Simple and easy!
 
However, each of these areas has its own characteristics and is suitable for different profiles and budgets. Therefore, it is interesting to think about what you expect from your trip and how much you are willing to pay for it.
 
Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the cost of living in Doha is high. And, as expected, this is reflected in the cost of accommodation in the Qatari capital. Therefore, even the most economical accommodation options are not the cheapest.
 
With these premises in mind, it’s time to decide which is the best choice for your trip. Below, we’ll talk more about the neighborhoods we recommend for staying in Doha and suggest good accommodation options for different budgets – from the most economical to the most comfortable. Let’s get started!

 

Souq Waqif

The area around Souq Waqif is considered by many to be the best area to stay in Doha. The main reason is that it is very central and well located . From here, it will be very easy to explore the rest of the city. You will be in the historic center of the capital of Qatar, which will guarantee a very authentic experience of the Middle Eastern landscapes.

 

Souq Waqif, which is the city’s large market, is surrounded by three smaller areas: Al Souq , Al Salata and Al Najada . All of these are good choices for your hotel. Not only is it within walking distance of the souq itself, but you’ll also be very close to other attractions. Some of these include the Museum of Islamic Art , the National Museum of Qatar and the Corniche , a pleasant seafront promenade.

 

To top it off, the market itself is served by a metro station (golden line), which is less than 30 minutes from Doha International Airport (with a transfer at Msheireb station ).

 

Check out our suggestions for where to stay in the Souq Waqif area of ​​Doha:
