"We had an amazing four day stay at Al Najada Doha Hotel. The hotel is in a great location and without exception every staff member was so friendly and helpful. The hotel is spotlessly clean, our room was big with a great skyline view, service everywhere was amazing! I think the pool has the clearest water I’ve ever swum in and in particular the life guard, Swahad, went out of way to welcome and help us feel at home - we really appreciated his company and the impressive pride he takes in his job. Quick shout out also to Aminda on the traditional coffee duties, a lovely professional man who also made us feel so welcome. I thoroughly recommend Al Najada Doha Hotel by Tivoli, many thanks to all the team there. 👍"
