Ramada Encore Doha by Wyndham

Oh wow, such a great hotel with such friendly staff who go out of their way to help. Lovely swimming pool, huge selection of options for breakfast that changed from day to day, comfortable beds, great shower, and quiet at night. Good TV channel selection (dozens, maybe hundreds, many in English) - much better than pretty much every European hotel we had stayed at immediately prior to our trip to Doha.

The hotel is well located near the main attractions in Doha from where you can walk if the weather allows it, take taxi or reach the Msheireb metro station in 10 min to move around. People complained to be in a dodgy area that feels unsafe at night because of the construction workers, who are mostly immigrants from Bangladesh or Pakistan, but that's nonsense. As a female solo traveller, I walked at night to the nearby grocery stores and yes, you see a lot of men in their breaks from work on the streets, but they never approached me, so no reason to fear, just take precautions like not walking in too dark or isolated areas and you'll be fine. You can also get a few groceries at the store of the gas station in front of the hotel. The staff were also cool, particularly Pauline and the Algerian trainee at the reception, and the Kenyan lady lifeguard at the pool (apologies I don't remember all your names!). It was nice to be able to exchange more than a few words with them since they speak good English; the Algerian lady also speaks Spanish, my native language, so kudos to all of them and their kindness! The room had enough space for me, though it felt a bit dark with such a small window...

I must say that I am very glad and happy to stay in Ramada encore Hotel, where I witnessed maximum care of myself and my colleagues. Accommodation, food, service has been of excellent level. All the staff is extremely polite and attentive to details. My special regards to the front office staff, and particularly to Mr.Gajendra for the utmost efforts to guide me location with a healthy smile. I sincerely do hope to return to this Hotel, and wish successful activity and prosperity in this business. Thank you once again for the rendered Hotel, and country hospitality of course.

The covered pool i a savior amidst the scorching heat when the time my sister and I visited. We dipped as long as we wanted with a quiet ambience and secured area. The dry sauna is a highlighted since we had a relaxing conversation while inside. The reception is friendly. The supervisor/ manager in the cafe is so accommodating and welcoming.
