I recently stayed at Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha for 4 nights and absolutely loved it! The location is perfect—so close to the airport yet quiet. The amenities were impressive, and I always found a lounger by the pool for my family. However, the hotel could use a few updates to the room interiors to really shine.
