Hampton by Hilton Doha Old Town is one of several international-brand hotels in the Old Town district, the area around Souq Waqif that has been redeveloped with hotels and shops. For visitors, its appeal is simple: it places you near the souq and the old centre at a moderate price, with the predictability of a familiar brand. It suits couples, families and independent travellers who want a clean, well-located base without paying for luxury, and who plan to spend their days out. The Museum of Islamic Art and the National Museum are a short ride away, and the metro makes the airport and other districts easy. Souq Waqif is within walking distance, though you should check the distance from the property on the map.
Living in it
This is a base for sightseeing, so expect the focus on a comfortable room and a good breakfast rather than resort facilities. Check the rate page for the current room types, whether breakfast is included and the facilities. The Old Town area is lively in the evening around the souq and quiet in the morning.
Trade-offs
Mid-range hotels have less space and fewer facilities than the luxury hotels, and the area has little greenery. In return, you save a good deal, and you are well placed for the souq. If you want a pool and spa, check the facilities before booking, or choose a luxury hotel. For a budget-conscious trip focused on culture, this is a good choice. Who it suits: couples, families and independent travellers who plan long days out.
When to book
The cool season is the busiest, and rates move with events, so compare dates. Before you confirm, check the room size and bed types for your group, whether breakfast is included and how far the property is from the souq on the map, since distances in Doha can look shorter than they feel in the heat.
