I don't suppose a DONEx meets the criteria for the Discover Qatar discounted hotel bookings if you stay 2 nights?
Can't answer for the hotel deal, but the Al Mirqab was such good value (at least when we booked) anyway. Prices don't seem to be too high in Doha.
If you are going through there four times don't forget that Qatar is "Europe" for the purposes of a DONEx, so stops there count against whatever other limits you have in your routing -- we originated in Europe so were only allowed two stopovers which we had used close to home, hence limiting our stop to 23 hours.
