Review: Hilton The Pearl, Doha
We recently stayed at the Hilton The Pearl in Doha and overall had a pleasant experience. The hotel is located in a beautiful and family-friendly area, perfect for those traveling with children. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the delicious food at the on-site restaurant, The Kitchen—especially during lunch and dinner.
However, there were a few downsides worth mentioning. Breakfast at The Kitchen was consistently overcrowded. On two out of eight mornings, we had to wait in line for over 15 minutes just to be seated. The tables are placed very close together, making the dining experience feel cramped and lacking in privacy. All breakfast service is located on the 5th floor, which gets especially congested between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. It’s clear that the hotel could benefit from expanding or reconfiguring the breakfast area.
Additionally, while our room was clean and comfortable, the furniture appeared quite dated and well-worn. The hotel in general seems to be losing a bit of its original shine and could use some refurbishment to maintain Hilton’s high standards.
In summary, Hilton The Pearl offers a great location, excellent staff, and tasty dining options, but could improve its breakfast setup and update its rooms to provide a more premium experience.
