I travel frequently and stay in hotels all over the world, but my recent stay at Millennium Place in Doha was by far one of the most disappointing experiences I have had.
I chose this property based on its outstanding online rating (9.6) and glowing reviews, which made it seem like an excellent choice. Unfortunately, the reality was very different.
First Impressions & Location
The disappointment began upon arrival. The surrounding neighborhood is dominated by heavy construction, making it unpleasant and difficult to walk around. This was not reflected in the hotel’s promotional photos or description.
Room Quality
I was first given a room on the first floor. It was below average in every respect — far from the “modern and glamorous” look in the photos. The window view was of an abandoned space enclosed by large, dirty walls covered in bird droppings.
When I requested to change rooms, the staff showed me a smaller room on the sixth floor, which was no better. At this point, I contacted Expedia to express my dissatisfaction, as I had relied heavily on the reviews and felt misled.
Facilities
The basement spa and swimming pool were poorly maintained. To access the pool, I had to go through a locker room with wet floors and a bad odor. The pool itself was underground, and the rooftop area (“Abdo roof”) was extremely basic.
Dining
Breakfast was average at best and certainly not worth the price
