So, after going through various hotels to stay in Doha, I finally zeroed upon "Hotel Golden Tulip". Before booking it through the "Discover Qatar" website, I read various reviews of the hotel online. Once again I am repeating - In order to be eligible for visa free access to enter Qatar, as an Indian citizen, you MUST book your hotel booking through the "Discover Qatar" website only.

So, finally the decision was made to book "Hotel Golden Tulip" for my 5 nights stay at Doha, Qatar. I paid a total amount of 2000 Qatari Riyals (Approximately INR 47000) which included a great breakfast and a huge room of about 600 square feet.
Since, the hotel remains fully booked almost all the time, so i didn't request for early check in.
The standard times of check in and check out of the hotel is as follows:
Check in time: 15:00 hrs
Check out time: 12:00 hrs

My flight from Mumbai to Doha landed at around 05:15 hrs (Doha Time). I chose Indigo as the price was quite reasonable compared to other airlines. Also, it was a direct flight from Mumbai to Doha.

After immigration, I directly went to hotel in a cab from the airport. Reached hotel at around 07:00 hrs or so. The location of the hotel was very near to the famous Doha corniche and other tourist attractions like National Museum, Museum of Islamic Arts, Souq Waqif, Metro Stations etc.

Since, I had the room booking for the previous night as well, so I immediately checked into the room. The only document asked during the check in process was my passport. I had already made the amount while booking the hotel, so no further questions was asked. The hotel was a 5 star hotel and the check in process was quite smooth. It hardly took 5 minutes for the check in process. I was allotted Room No -802 at the 8th floor. It was a non-smoking room. Smoking in this room would lead to a huge cleaning fee!

After freshening up, went to have a great breakfast at the hotel. The spread consisted of Indian Breakfast, American Breakfast, Assorted bakery items, fruits, juices etc. The breakfast was very good and the ambience was also excellent. I had a platter of Pancake, Waffle, Baked Beans, Potato Wedges, Omlette, Juice, Cakes, Fruits etc.

After eating to my heart's content, I realized it was time to take some rest as I hadn't slept the entire night. So, went to the room to have some rest.

The hotel also provided 2.5 litres of mineral water daily along with complimentary tea and coffee. I was totally satisfied with the quality and items provided by the hotel. The price per night was just about INR 9300 or so. This price is comparatively cheap when looking at the facilities provided by the hotel and that too at a place like Doha!

After freshening up and resting for some time, I went to have a look at the swimming pool in the hotel. The swimming pool size was decent and towels were provided.
