Walking distance to attractions
Very basic and small hotel room. Strong cigarette smell. I needed to spend only few hours because of a transit so for the price it was ok for me.
Best thing was free pickup and drop off at the airport.

Good location but terrible hotel
Cons
Uncomfortable Bed and much smaller than the pictures
Old furniture
No towels in the bathroom. Have to call to get towels.
Shower didn't work properly
Weird black stuff coming out of the AC and falling on the bed
AC was too loud
No outlet to put in the iPhone plugs to charge phones
Insect in the coffee provided at breakfast
The reception ladies during the day don't understand English properly. Which is okay. However they were a bit weird. They showed me a pamphlet which had some places to visit but they wanted it back and wouldn't let me keep it.
Pros
Breakfast did look decent besides the insect in the coffee.
Free pick and drop from the airport
Good location next to Souq Waqif. The free museum of Islamic art is easily walkable.

OK hotel for the price, close to the Souq.
I stayed in a single room for 3 nights in September 2016. The quality is fair enough for the price they are asking. I will say that this is a 2 stars hotel. One negative aspect, for me, was the fact that, they didn't have hot water. No matter how much I phoned the reception, they were not able to provide with hot/warm water to shower, so showering in the morning, wasn't an option for me; I had to wait until mid day when it was very hot outside, to actually shower. The breakfast variety was just OK, nothing special, but "Joy" the Philippine lady who was in charge of the breakfast was very nice and attentive. (excellent customer service from Joy). A positive aspect is that the hotel is walking distance to the Souq (about 7 minutes walking), a medium size mosque was right beside the hotel making the area decent, safe, within limits and exceptions, of course. Also, about 12 minutes walking distance you have the Royal Palace of Doha and about 15 min walking distance you have the waterfront, with boat tours and Islamic Museum and more. So location was good.

Al-Nakheel Hotel: A+ for those on a budget!
I visited Doha for 5 nights - as a journalist, covering a major international sporting event. I needed a comfortable, safe, inexpensive, well located hotel. The Al-Nakheel met my requirements perfectly - and I look forward to staying there again.
The FREE breakfast buffet was a nice benefit.
All in all, I was treated very well.
Very good location

Calm and comfy
This Hotel is nice, calm and comfy. Especially the staffs is so kind. You can take services to pick up at and send to Doha airport. But only disappointing was the temperature of hot water at bathroom. It wasn't hot.

Gute Lage, das war's aber auch schon.
Ich habe dieses Hotel nur gebucht, weil ich 20 Stunden Aufenthalt hatte und wenigstens ein paar Stunden schlafen wollte. Die Lage ist sehr zentral und für Doha relativ günstig, die sehr vielen negativen Bewertungen haben jedoch ihre Gründe: Zum einen wäre ein Hochdruckreiniger für eine Komplettreinigung angebracht, zum anderen ist generell eine Renovierung notwendig.
Als Tipp für alle, die auch einen langen Aufenthalt haben: Bleibt am Flughafen, es gibt dort kostenlose Ruheräume mit Liegen, kostenloses WLAN, Fernseher, eine funktionierende Klimaanlage und die Toiletten sind sauberer als im Hotel.

Besenkammer als Hotelzimmer getarnt
Das Zimmer stand offen, als ich es bezog. Es war kaum breiter als das Bett, so dass Kleiderschrank, Kühlschrank und Nachttisch sehr kreativ angeordnet waren. Au der Wand schauten Nägel, wo offenbar zu einem früheren Zeitpunkt ein Regal hing. Die Klimaanlage war auf dem Geräuschpegel eines startenden Flugzeuges, der Kühlschrank knackte alle 20 Minuten, das Geräusch erinnerte mehr an eine kleine Explosion. Leider konnte der Kühlschrank weder abgeschaltet werden (kein Schalter) noch ausgestöpselt (keine Steckdose, sondern ein Wandanschluss). Im Badezimmer fanden sich ausgedrückte Zigarettenkippen im Fensterrahmen. Nicht zu sprechen von dem Baulärm von umliegenden Baustellen. Die Schiebetüren der Hotellobby funktionierten ebenfalls nicht und mussten von einem Hotelbediensteten per Hand aufgeschoben werden.
Definitiv nicht wiederholenswert.

Staying in Ramadan
The elevator looks new, but the room is quite old. If staying one night would be acceptable, but not recommended for loner stay due to old fashioned and noisy air conditionar.

Prisvärt lågprishotell
Billigt hotell nära Kornischen och museet för islamisk konst. En nackdel är att hotellet ligger i ett område där det pågår högljudda byggnadsarbeten långt in på natten.

Good location but.....
we emailer the hotel twice on the email listed on their website to arrange the free pickup from the airport. On arrival there was no one there and we had to pay for a taxi. On check in they told us that they no longer check that email. There was no apology or refund offered.
business trip but very poor to average hotel, not 3 star at all. Only saving grace was the location.

A déconseiller
Propreté tres approximative,
Chambre non fumeur ou tout sent la cigarette, horrible
Fenêtre coulissante impossible à fermer
Prise electrique placée a la hauteur du lit, inutilisable de nuit pour recharger un appareil, car l appareil doit être pose sur le lit!!!
Place à coté du souk, très agréable.

good for transit stop in Doha
was the "cheapest" place I've found, for about 50 EURO by European standards too expensive
but is quite central, to Souq Waqif only 5 min, Doha Corniche about 10 minutes
Transfer to the airport is free (order at time of booking, you will be picked up)

Al-Nakheel
Bra läge men hotellet var mycket slitet, frukosten enkel och man väcktes kl.5 av bönutroparen. Många byggen pågick i närområdet. Dessa var igång i stort sett dygnet runt. Dålig service vid frågor om kommunikationer till handbollsarenan
This motel is for the budget minded traveler who isn't going to stay in the room much. It's ok for a 1 night stay. The room is clean but in desperate need of updating. There are 4 free parking spaces and the breakfast buffet is decent. The Google map direction puts it right in the souq which was very deceiving and was the only reason I booked this property, however, It is just a 5 minute walk to the souq. FYI a mosque is right next door and during prayers, it does get loud.

Not worth what you pay
My room would definitly need a refresh.
the window was closed by some tape, the painting on the bathroom floor was getting away.
Well quite expensive for what you get.
