We stayed here courtesy of Qatar airways due to a delayed flight. As we missed our connecting flight in Doha. We were put up at the Royal Riviera along with the other affected passengers. It would mean a room and our meals included. We did not expect luxury, the hotel is located in downtown. Once the bis arrived, they took our passport and pointed us to the restaurant for breakfast. Actually the breakfast was a good spread, even with an omelette station. We ate well. After breakfast our room was ready and our passport was returned. It was a double room, nothing too fancy, it was in a good condition with all the amenities. We had a little snooze and then it was time for lunch. Once again it was a good spread, and I was surprised how good the food was. Even though we would only be here for part of the day. The hotel reception organised a driver for a city tour. We had no desire to spend the time at the hotel. By the time we got back it was time for dinner. Given the food I ate that day, it was a light dinner and once again the choice was plentiful. The hotel has a gym, sauna, a small swimming pool at the rooftop. The location is decent for downtown. You can walk to the souk, there are shops and places to eat nearby. The hotel would not be my choice if I was staying in Doha. It was more than adequate for a short stay due to a delayed flight.
