The property is nice and the staff are very courteous, polite and friendly. The rooms are spacious and big enough for a family of 4. Being vegetarian, we found the breakfast spread was good with sufficient veg options. Valet parking makes it really convenient if you travel with your car. It was our wedding anniversary and the hotel gave us little treats to make our day special. All in all, would recommend this property. We had a terrible experience with access to the hotel during a football match which was not the hotel's mistake but definitely keep in mind and check with the hotel about any events in the stadium nearby.

I stayed here in January/February and wrote a five star review. I chose to return on the basis of my experience, this time with my husband! I was in regular contact with the hotel in the run up to the holiday which made our poor check in experience very disappointing. We were not assigned to the type of room we had booked. The hotel did respond the next day but as we were there for short time , it did impact on our stay. The reason I have still given a five star review is that ultimately the guest relations manager went out of her way to seek to provide some redress. All the things I had enjoyed previously were much same, despite the fact that the hotel was extremely busy resulting in the buffet and pool areas being particularly stretched. As one of the pool areas is adults only - and extremely well policed- this minimised the negative impact there. The attitude of some guests, particularly towards staff was bordering on unacceptable. Customer facing staff and dining options, particularly in the speciality restaurants, were a highlight. Our bedroom was extremely comfortable and well serviced.

Just been Rixos Gulf view for 10 days, what a great friendly hotel. I have been to many countries and was wondering whether Doha would be anything like Dubia? Well its not, Dubia is decadent luxury a bit over the top for some. Doha is more relaxed less extravagant and feels like it knows itself better.. I feel this hotel fits into what Doha feels like itself. I love luxury, don’t get me wrong, but some people don’t like it when their every move/encounter is catered for. I loved the hotel as the rooms were fantastic, we had a two bedroomed as our daughter came with us. All drinks in rooms were replenished every day, loads of water in drinks cabinet as well as other branded cans and also coffee machine and pods too. Decent size toiletries too. Robes, slippers, gorgeous fluffy towels.Iron/board/hair dryer all there. Outside of room again, everything you could want. Food area, was always well stocked and staff on the ball for clearing away dishes, there was a lot of food to choose from and mostly food was good quality and well cooked but some room for improvement if hotel wants to be seen as luxury, but only in main AI Farmhouse area. Mr Tailors & Rasa food was exceptional. I’m a big foodie (love nothing more than going to Michelin star restaurants, for reference) and these two restaurants were as good as any restaurant you would pay £75 a head in. Pool area’s were great and staff were exceptional, always checking if you wanted anything.More parasols though as heat is 🔆

A nice pleasant stay but breakfast, dinner and lunch could be better, same meal items served most days, we were there for a week so we opted to eat out instead of making the most of half board. No changing room attached to the gym, have to use the spa changing rooms which is not that close. Staff were very attentive and welcoming. Remember to take your own toothbrush and toothpaste even tho it’s 5 star, when you ask for more they only provide one at a time-cheap quality toothpaste and toiletries. Other than that rest of the stay was average! Iron wasn’t working well but replaced quickly, hairdryer very hard to get working as you constantly have to hold a button down to power it up! Beach views are obscured as it’s near a marina port. I would say it felt more like a 4 star hotel.
