If you are traveling Business/First class, the lounge is very nice. Extremely quiet overnight though there are no long couches to sleep on. Breakfast opens early too. There is also internet and a game room.
I don't know if there is a lounge for economy.

You have the option of purchasing a hotel room as well. Different prices for the different flight cabins.
the free night is not only for Business class. Economy class passengers can have too, if their departure point includes that. Its very easy to know if you can get the free night or not. In your fare basis check if you have the suffix 9 at the end of your fare basis. If not then you have to pay for it. QR has a very strange policy in this regard, even if you pay the highest fare in First class from Tunis for instance to Tokyo you cant get the free night although the transit in Doha is for 20 hours. If you take the same route but you start from Tripoli, which will be in business class with a much lower fare you can get the free night. Really strange but its QR
