“Doha's most extraordinary address, refund row”

The Ned Doha is called one of the most extraordinary hotels guests have stayed in: a sixties government building reimagined by David Chipperfield with its old ambience intact, rooms guests rate the best in Doha, spotless cleanliness, flawless welcomes and staff who could not do more — spa and restaurant team members are remembered by name. Two real blemishes: the minibar is not free, and a month-early cancellation made under government travel advice was refused a refund, which the guest found unworthy of a five-star hotel; food was also said to have slipped while costing more.
