Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Qatar

We are having an extended stay in the Westin in Doha and the staff have made us feel so welcome. Michael at reception is exceptional in his customer service, his dedication to solving any and all problems, and his genuine interest in our well-being. The pool staff are great -- Michael (Mike) there is a top guy, always helpful and welcoming, and the other pool staff (Isaac, Mary, Victoria, and Sandulu) have also been excellent, making our stay a relaxed and enjoyable one. The pools are kept clean, accessible, and well stocked with towels and the all important water bottles. The gym facilities are likewise well-maintained and comprehensive. Room service (in room dining) do a great job catering to two vegans and it has also been nice to find that one of the on-site restaurants, Sabai Thai ,actually has a vegan menu. The concierge team are always on hand and happy to assist. Overall, the hotel is very well-appointed and looks maginficent, but it is the people who really make a stay special and the Westin in Doha certainly wins here.

We spent four wonderful nights at The Westin Doha in October 2025, and our experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The entire hotel radiates calmness and comfort – elegant rooms, a relaxing atmosphere, and one of the best-managed pools we have experienced. The pool area was spotless, and the pool staff were always attentive, ensuring that every guest was perfectly looked after. A special highlight of our stay was the restaurant team under the leadership of Mr. Bekhryz. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made every meal a true pleasure. A heartfelt thank you to Aryana, Sana, Phyo, and Bishal – each of them went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, complemented by attentive and friendly service every single time. It’s rare to find a hotel where excellence in hospitality is lived so consistently across all departments. The Westin Doha truly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended – for comfort, service, and the wonderful people who make this hotel so special.

Me, my daughter and my husband come here for swimming lessons with the fabulous Coach Mary! We've used the wave pool,indoor pool and the outdoor pool. We totally recommend Westin especially for swimming lessons with lovely Coach Mary!

We stayed at the Westin Doha for one week in early October and were genuinely impressed from start to finish. The service, facilities, and attention to detail were all exceptional. Our room was spotless, modern, and extremely comfortable. We were on a full board basis and enjoyed all our meals in the hotel. The food quality was outstanding, and the variety on offer each day was incredible. The themed restaurant nights were a real highlight and added a fun twist to our dining experience. Although there aren’t a huge number of poolside beds, we never had any trouble finding one. The pool area was peaceful and relaxing – perfect for unwinding between sightseeing. From check-in to check-out, the Westin team went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We absolutely loved Qatar, loved Doha, and loved the Westin. We can’t wait to return!

“A very special thank you to Aymen for making our pool bar experience truly unforgettable. Your warm hospitality, attentive service, and effortless charm brought an extra touch of joy to every moment. From the refreshing drinks to the relaxed atmosphere, everything was elevated by your presence and professionalism. It’s rare to find someone who makes guests feel so genuinely welcomed and cared for. Thank you, Aymen, for going above and beyond—you made our time by the pool something truly special.”

Stayed in a villa with private pool this weekend and enjoyed it so much - thankful to the super super accommodating staff - Muthu, Eee, Ya and her housekeeping team. Highly recommended, Adventure Park and Bowling Alley, Ted’s snackhouse… the island is a beautiful place for photos and videos🙏

A calm and relaxing place with excellent hospitality. The breakfast had a wide variety and tasted so good. I stayed in a one-bedroom villa with a private pool in front of the beach — spacious, peaceful, and without any disturbance. Truly worth every single penny spent!

Beautiful place. Lots of varieties of foods and delicious serving in the restaurant. We enjoyed swimming in the private pool and the kids activities. Staff services are great and hospitality are up to standard. Lalyn onboard were accommodating and friendly.

The private pool, the comfortable pillows, breakfast buffet, New Year dinner, The staff members are excellent and very helpful, and the room size.

Amazing hotel resort, clean and comfortable rooms, private pool and complimentary sweets and chocolates, friendly and helpful staff, I will definitely comeback and also will refer to others

Stayed in a 4 bedroom villa with private pool. The villa and pool were amazing. Perfect for families. The resort pool (common pool) and breakfast was nice too.

The villa was clean and the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The pools were very nice, clean and the temperature is controlled, this goes to the private pool too. The breakfast is very good and has good Variety. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Access to the beach,, private pool ,, clean facilities

My family stayed last Friday at the wonderful 4 bedroom villa with private pool. Villa has a wonderful outdoor area perfect for hosting BBQ… Management (Santosh) provided a comp BBQ, really nice touch and also took care to lite the BBQ. Resort has a very relax vibe with an extreme long main pool. Villa was very well maintained and extremely clean. Thank you for the amenities. We will certainly recommend to friends and return again.

The "two-bedroom villa sea view with private pool" was wonderful. It is very spacious, tastefully furnished, private and confortable. The direct access to the main pool from the backyard was really enjoyable. Room service was very efficient, always on top and housekeeping was well done. The special arrangements (fruit platters, cake, balloons, flower petals...) for my wife's and son's birthdays were also beautiful and well organized. Breakfast buffet has an extensive variety of cold and hot items. We really enjoy our stay there.

The hotel was exceptional, it was very clean. We received a warm welcome during our check in and during the whole stay. From Thomas, Prince, Clyde, the life gaurd on duty at the pool, to the manager from The Gambia, all were amazing.

The place was luxurious and fit all our standards. I enjoyed the food and pool as well, everything was top tier. Even the staff were so welcoming and always helped our needs. Definitely recommend this place to everyone!!

All the staffs were super friendly, from the reception to the restaurant, pool, bell boy and housekeeping.

Great location. Very nice staff. Lovely decor in public areas. Great to be in the grounds of the estate. Nice walks, oryx enclosure, stables, museum and the quirky mosque. Pool area with its cabanas was also very nice.

We loved the quality of the food. it was excellent. The staff at both the restaurant and reception were very friendly and welcoming. Although there was a bit of a communication issue with the receptionist when I requested a buggy car, they still managed to arrange one for us, which we really appreciated. The rescue pool attendant was also very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the great service!

My vacation was perfect, and everything was between than what I expected. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. I would go back again for sure. There are two Resturants open and one in the way, they do have squash and tennis courts. The kids club is fine they can take care of your kids for 80 QAR if you are staying in the hotel, the 80 QAR is to access the four room actives or your kids can enjoy the free facilities which consists of pool, play ground and drawing area. They have friendly staff which can look after your kids if they are 4 years or older. The hotel is famous for its spy which is female only, so I couldn’t use it, so sorry no info there. I would go back again and try one of there private pool villas, just keep in mind that this hotel is quite luxurious and more expensive than its peers in Qatar.

We had the pleasure of staying at Al Messila, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the hotel’s stunning beauty and luxurious ambiance. This resort has undoubtedly set a new standard for our travel experiences. The facilities were exceptional. The pools, gardens, and spa areas were designed with meticulous attention to detail, creating a serene and relaxing environment. While I was a bit disappointed that the indoor pool had a policy against babies, the overall experience was still nothing short of amazing. What truly made our stay special was the staff. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about our comfort. We felt welcomed and valued throughout our entire stay, which is often hard to find in luxury resorts. They went above and beyond to ensure that our first holiday as a family, especially in celebration of my husband’s birthday, was memorable. Every aspect of our visit exceeded our expectations, making it a perfect getaway. Al Messila is more than just a hotel; it's a luxurious escape that caters to every need. We can’t wait to return!

We stayed in one of the villas and loved its private walled garden and pool. Room service is excellent for breakfast. Gym and spa are amazing. Pools are heated and extremely clean. Be surprised by the large gardens. We recommend the north tour and desert safari plus wonderful museums

Overall had a nice time at this beautiful hotel. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Great pool area with plenty of space to relax. Enjoyed the clean balcony space overlooking the pool.

My recent stay at Al Messila, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa in Doha, was an brilliant experience, characterized by outstanding facilities and top-notch service. The room and facilities were truly wonderful. The outdoor pool area, garden, and indoor pool were astonishing, providing a serene and luxurious environment that exceeded my expectations. The housekeeping staff were particularly noteworthy, with Emon and his team delivering impeccable service and ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. Breakfast at the resort was an experience in itself. The French gentleman at the coffee area and the egg station manager both provided excellent service, contributing to a delightful start to each day. Unfortunately, I did not catch their names, but their professionalism and friendliness were deeply appreciated. Additionally, the security guards were extremely friendly and made you feel welcome as you walked through the entrances. Their warm greetings and genuine smiles set a positive tone every time we entered the resort. Furthermore, it would have enhanced the experience to be escorted to our rooms and given a quick tour of the resort upon arrival. Overall, despite a few minor issues, my stay at Al Messila was great.

It was amazing to have such beautiful location to celebrate my birthday! Loved the outdoor space- my own pool, comfy places just to hang! The bed with the view was intense! I know it’s expensive but you have your own place, own pool with all the hotel amenities!! I will remember this birthday!

I stayed in the most beautiful hotel in terms of elegant appearance. The rooms are unique, enjoy breathtaking views and also like the location and atmosphere. Once you mention the name of the place, you can reach it on foot. The service was great, and the room was 5 stars. What prompted me to this hotel was the comprehensive facilities it provided. In addition, my stay in (katara hills) was the best ever. With excellent concierge services, spacious rooms, pool area spa facilities, etc., the hotel has given me complete peace. And I will return again , but you need to fix the doorbell

The hotel rooms are stunning and private. Thoughtfully designed. The pool in the room was heated to the perfect temperature. The views are amazing. To top it all off, each and every person we came in contact with provided exceptional service. The hotel was generous in not charging extra for my daughter's breakfast. The food was excellent as was the service, with big portion sizes. The buggies were readily available for pick up and drop off. The location is great, you can walk to the heart of Katara within 5 minutes. Highly recommended.

The villa was amazing with a beautiful view. Complete different experience. And the staff was very friendly, especially Fatma at the reception. The swimming pool with jacuzzi was amazing, all kids and adults enjoyed. The food from Gymkhana was good.

It’s Great experience and I recommend for friends we will come back again, but the pool not clean because trees leave and not private some people looking us from hills , thank you for Your interest..…………………………………………………………………………………….. ….

I had a wonderful time during my visit to M Spa. Hospitable Spa team Sabeer and Aye went above and beyond to make sure everything is working properly. The outdoor pool area was clean, well maintained, not too crowded, perfect for relaxing under the Sun and enjoying a quiet swim. Towels were always available, and the staff made sure everything is tidy and comfortable, Mark and Jo. The restaurant O'Glacee was equally impressive. Every meal i had was flavorful and beautifully presented. The menu had a great variety, and the service was consistently friendly and attentive. Overall, a great combination of comfort and quality - highly recommended!

The hotel is located next to the marvellous Doha souq (step out of the hotel and go the right to follow a nice tunnel into the souq, rather than crossing the streets as we did…). The room (we were on the 11th floor) is exceptionally sound proof. The entire hotel is attractive, clean, comfortable. We arrived after midnight and got a warm, friendly, efficient, welcoming reception. Breakfast is copious. A 15m outdoor swimming pool in the third floor with a cosy restaurant/bar. This is an excellent and friendly hotel. Would definitely stay here again on my next visit to surprising, attractive Doha.

The hotel is extremely nice! I would definitely recommend staying here. My stay lasted for 1 night but it would be nice to stay longer. During the day I could use spa and swimming pool. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! And it was a pleasure to be served by Judith and Khuram. I’d like to thank the front desk supervisor Thant for a really warm welcome! Another front desk supervisor was also helpful and gave some additional recommendations regarding my stay and leisure time. Last but not least, Emmanuel was helpful and attentive to my needs and requests.

I had an amazing stay at Alwadi hotel, The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. I want to give a special shoutout to Melvin, who went above and beyond to assist me during my stay. His helpfulness truly made a difference. I highly recommend this place. Location is so convenient to move around, facing Souq Waqef and 2 min from msheireb metro station, monoprix is steps away. The best part of my stay was the pool and a big thanks to the life guards who were always there to assist without even asking.

What a wonderful team Alwadi has put together. Everything is flawless from support at Reception with Aya and her colleagues, to the open friendly welcoming from Simon and his team at the concierge desk. Thank you for making us feel valued and appreciated every time we interacted with any of you. The entire hotel was spotless and well maintained and no request was too hard to accommodate. Perfect location to the Souq Wagif, Metro, Mall and supermarket. Even a stunningly beautiful pool area. Definite first choice when we return. Thank you everyone!!

This is the best hotel to stay in Doha. Days spent in this hotel will be memorable for life and will serve as a benchmark for all your future hotel bookings. Superb rooms with custom ambience lighting, excellent infrastructure, hanging pool, excellent dining in revolving restaurant, high class breakfast in the Flying Carpet restaurant. Exceeds all your expectations. Cherry on the cake... the hotel provide direct access to the Villagio mall, a mall where night never falls and shopping, dining and entertainment blend into a memorable living experience.

The view was exeptional, the whole hotel is full of cool technology.The colour of the lights in the room are changeable.The curtains are remotely controlled.At the top of the torch the 360 IS ACTUALLY MOVInG. The breakfast was served in the Flying Carpet restaurant which was fully decarated with Persian carpets.The delicious buffet was scrumptious.The real highlight was the outside swimming pool that sticks out of the building

Its an amazing place with a great gym and pool 19 floors above the ground. The room had everything but good cable, there were no real movie channels and no news channels that were American. Its right next to a huge park and Mall so there is plenty to do. The breakfast was slim pickins as far as choice went.

I like the way how you control the room light by iPad....with the iPad you can have many thing ...you don't need to call the room service ......they have great swimming pool in the 19th floor and the tea garden.....Also the the 360 restaurant on the top of the torch ....you can watch doha especially at night

I enjoyed my stay at the torch Doha hotel, it is near to everything, mall, park and so many restaurants, the area is quiet, you really can relax and enjoy The facilities are very good, we loved the swimming pool at the 19th floor as it has a very nice view, Thank you The Torch Doha

I had a wonderful stay at this lovely hotel. The room was amazing and very quiet. The hotel itself was small, but there were plenty of options for activities. The menu was a bit limited, but the food was very good. I especially enjoyed the beach and the lovely swimming poolI had a wonderful stay at this lovely hotel. The room was amazing and very quiet.

The heated pools ♥️ During our stay, it was raining. We thought we won’t be able to enjoy our stay. So glad that they have a heated pool, we were able to enjoy it til 9pm. They also have billiards, foosball table and some board games to enjoy.

The Staff is amazing. The food was really delicious. The room was very nice and comfortable. We had an amazing stay. We loved the Birthday surprise the staff prepared for us. Special thanks to Obieda from the front office and for the staff. We enjoyed the wonderful weather and the pool was really nice and warm. We enjoyed the night cinema and the gym.

Amazing getaway hotel, we had the sea view room which was comfortable and clean with a great outside sitting area to chill. Spent most of our time by the pool which was clean and well maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and breakfast was very good. The value for money is insane, definitely worth it.

1. excellent location 2. most of the rooms are sea view 3. a lot of open space to walk around and especially who likes beach, will enjoy this location 4. size of the pool is small but well temperature controlled. 5. A nice spot for short leisure trip for family

Very friendly staff. Very nice hotel, nice room, great pool and hot tub, very good breakfast, etc. located 3 minutes walk from the National Museum of Qatar as well as the Subway which cost per day 6 riyals (or $1.5) and is very luxurious, safe, fast, going to many destinations.

Stayed overnight (deluxe double room) for an airport transfer. Great sized room and lovely staff on the front desk. Walking distance to restaurants was handy and the pool area is great.

Friendly and helpful staff, great room, great price, reasonable pool area, close to museum.

I stayed one night at Century Hotel, located next to the Museum of Qatar, and stayed in a suite. The location was super convenient, especially with how quickly Uber rides arrived—it made getting around really easy. I appreciated how accessible and easy to reach everything was, from the hotel entrance to the room itself. One major highlight was the staff, especially the hotel manager, who were extremely helpful in sorting out an issue I had with the airline. Their support made a big difference and really stood out. There were a couple of minor issues in the suite, like the shower and bathroom door, but nothing that really impacted the overall comfort. The room was otherwise clean and comfortable. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. I'd consider staying here again and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a convenient and supportive place to stay in Doha.

Lovely hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only issue is the lighting in the rooms. Same as another hotel in Doha, there’s a complex control panel to operate the lights which is one side of the bed. There’s one switch when you walk in which turns on everything but that’s it. Can’t turn off all the lights except the master switch. Also give you bottles of water every day. Very nice but not very eco friendly when the tap water is high quality. Great hotel though. Didn’t use restaurant facilities but everything of a high standard. Very attentive staff.

It is my first time in this beautiful hotel.grand regency Doha . The staff are absolutely wonderful the daytime staff absolutely helpful and kind. They make sure that we are okay. They get our taxis and food and luggage all on time honestly 10 out of 10 the night Manager and staff.Mr Riyaz and Mr Anas :) so helpful they deserve 10 out of 10 they advise us what to wear where to go so good because it’s our first time and we love Qatar and I think the service that people are so kind they treat you like royalty here . They go out of your way and make sure your room your bed you have everything in your room 10 out of 10. The rooms are the staff is 10 out of 10. I am so happy I came to Qatar and it was my first time. I will definitely come back to this hotel and the people in Qatar are absolutely lovely. I am so happy They pick you up. Drop you off at the beach never late but five minutes 10 minutes early. the food is fab. Service is beautiful swimming pool very nice all I can advise anybody wants to come to Qatar. Please do come and visit it. It’s a beautiful country and beautiful people.. Pavinder Norbury :)❤️

location was middle of everything in Doha , and atmosphere was perfect for the family, we used two rooms junior suite for me and my wife and double rooms for my kids , the rooms were recently renovated and it was teddy and clean every where. the renovation made us feel like we are the first to use the rooms. the place Noise level was very quite and made us have a deep sleep. service was quick and very friendly. as a father with a special need daughter , the place facilities were comfort and we could use the swimming pool with confidence

The hotel is so luxurious inside out. The comfort of the bed, room services, pool, gym, and buffet all are just outstanding experiences. I highly recommend choosing this hotel if you plan to stay in Doha. Unforgettable experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful staff specially from office Mr Ahmed was very kind and courteous, pool Is amazing and rooms are good specially the prices are very much affordable I recommend best place to stay

great hotel very nice staff they are smiling and helpful I always stay there with family to enjoy the swimming pool I recommend it to everyone

Staying at the Mercure was one of the reasons we enjoyed our trip to Qatar. First impressions can be misleading. The building is let's say a little dated -clearly it was the future once but has been down graded from its previous status as a Sofitel. It's right next to a major construction site - an interchange on the new metro is being built on its doorstep. But several things made us feel very fond of place 1. The staff - without exception excellent. Helpful, attentive yet never intrusive or overbearing. We were given an upgrade to a 'Privilege' room and when we quibbled with it, we were moved to a larger room of the same standard with no fuss whatsover. The restaurant service was great, the porter and concierge always welcoming and the reception staff sorted out our trip to the desert. The staff really make the place. 2 . The swimming pool - the temperature in the outdoor pool is bracing but it was never busy and open to 8pm 3. The location - just a short walk to the superb Souq Waqif with its excellent restaurants and shops, not far - i.e. Just walkable in the heat - from the MIA and the Corniche Great view of the West Bay towers from the small balcony The restaurant has a good wine selection, there is a minibar in the room but we didn't go in to the bar with our young child so can't review that When the metro is complete the location will be unbeatable -and construction noise even now is not enough to disturb sleep. Just the dawn call to prayer...recommended!

The room - nothing fancy for a 4 star hotel. Comfortable and has hot shower. The robe was a nice touch too. Towels were soft and nice. It has a/c so worked out okay. My room was on the 7th floor with balcony facing the swimming pool view and constructions view on the left hand side. Sri Lankan airline had their cabin crew stayed in the hotel too. The service - kudos to the airport shuttle service. On arrival, the chaffuer kindly waited for 1.30hours due to the long queue at the passprt control. The check in service was swift and they even offered a warm towel just like in the airplane. I asked for an iron and was promptly delivered to my room. Brrakfast was delicious too with really friendly staff. The area - theres a lot of construction going on in the area however it is only a short walking distance to souq waqif.

Hotel conveniently situated for the Souk Waquif, Sheiks Palace, Corniche and MIA possible to walk if you are used to the heat but a quick and inexpensive trip by taxi if not. It is currently situated in an area that is being redeveloped but can say that construction noise was minimal and certainly heard none from my room which overlooked the sites. Visit took place during Ramadan and the staff were very helpful and considerate to all faiths. A good range of food on offer for breakfast with staff very polite and eager to please. A nice pool area. A good clean room with TV, Tea and coffee making capability, mini refrigerator and effective air con.

The hotel is very nice but in front of the hotel is giant massive construction, I stayed there for 2 nights every nights at 2 am some people still working and drilling, very disturbing. Hotel is very clean, staffs very nice, swimming pools the water is really cold can't swim with that water. and I got free transfer from airport to the hotel both ways was really nice. to go to city center bit far away from the hotel, but when the massive construction finish the hotel has very nice location, I will be back staying at this hotel again for sure.

Decent hotel, helpful staff. Hotel website said airport shuttle it didn’t say that you had to book before you arrived. Swimming pool was empty and being worked on.
