Hampton Doha Old Town
341.05 QAR
Flyctory.com Pros
- Great location
- Very kind reception
In October 2024, I spent my very first hotel night in Qatar. En route to Jakarta, I wanted to explore Doha a bit before heading on to Southeast Asia via Abu Dhabi (AUH). Unfortunately, I was not aware of how much being there on a Friday hits public life in the capital city. Nonetheless, it was interesting to explore it. Here is the review of the hotel I stayed in, the Hampton by Hilton Doha Old Town. Apart from the price, I majorly went for it as it is a Hilton hotel.



Hampton Doha Old Town – Location & Transport
The Hampton by Hilton Doha Old Town comes with a pretty good location. It is just a few steps away from the National Museum of Qatar, for example. You are also very near to the Corniche (strand walk) as well as Doha’s Old Harbor. Some other key Doha sights like the Museum of Islamic Arts is not too far away as well. There is a DoubleTree Hotel in the same street.
Hamad International Airport (DOH) is some 15 to 20 minutes away by car, traffic permitting. If you are exploring Doha by public transport, the Doha Metro / Qatar Rail station National Museum is nearby.
Hampton Doha Old Town – Room
I had booked one night in Doha at a semi-flex rate for a King Room. The hotel upgraded me to a Sea View Room due to my Hilton Honors status, which was quite a nice value for the rate of 341.05 QAR, roughly 81 Euro. The room had a bit of a long, around-the-corner hallway, but the room was such was rather spacious. It featured typical Hampton furniture, even though the work desk was quite far away from the bed and the TV. Having just one power outlet at the work desk was a bit of sparse, though. I had some trouble adjusting the air conditioning to a higher base temperature, for which the mistake was definitely be on my side.




The bathroom felt comparably comfortable and spacious. I liked the large shower cabin. Apart from having a Bidetta function (anal shower at the toilet), there were no special things to mention. As typical at Hampton hotels nowadays, amenities were given by dispensers. You had a lovely view of Doha and the Skyline from the room. The bathroom and the whole space of the room were well cleaned and maintained.




Hampton Doha Old Town – Breakfast
The breakfast at the Hampton by Hilton Doha Old Town was served in a separate space on the first floor. The selection did not match the ones in other places I visited in the Gulf Region, though. The Hampton was particularly strong on warm dishes and options like fruit and salad, while the selection bread was rather poor. The waffle machine is operated by the staff. This was especially weird as i had put in dough for a full waffle (with nobody around, I did not see that before) and the waiter gave “my” waffle to somebody else. Unfortunately, I was late and the room was packed, so that I could not take too many snaps.


Hampton Doha Old Town – Service
The staff was very friendly and helpful. You need to pass a security gate with your luggage, whenever you enter the hotel. WiFi worked very well, which I did appreciate absolutely. The hotel is also on the ground floor / reception level. I did not visit it, as it was rather popular. There is a Starbucks outlet next to the reception.

Hampton Doha Old Town – My View
I liked my stay at the Hampton by Hilton Doha Old Town. However, certain features, especially around breakfast, stressed me a bit too much. On the positive side, you need to mention the lovely reception team and the great location, which makes it a good base to explore Doha. Apart from that, the hotel is rather budget-friendly.
