- Booking a hotel myself
- Trying to get some sleep in the lounge or the sleep&fly lounge with Priority Pass
My flight should land around 10PM in DOH, from what I read this is peak time in the lounge. I've never been in DOH airport before, but I know how these nap areas in other lounges are often occupied, could anyone tell me whether there is a possibility that I could just stay in the lounge and use one of the nap rooms. Or if I could score a nap are in the Sleep&Fly lounge with my PP. (although that would only be for 3 hours)
I know it's best to just book a hotel when I want to be absolutely sure but I just want to see what the other options are. Thanks!
There are 2 so called nap areas in Al Mourjan lounge. See pic below.
The nap room in garden lounge look like this
At least the rest rooms at the Garden Lounge are more private and not so noisy. I would prefer this lounge.But there is still no real door.
But i doubt you will get any of this rooms, since you will arrive in peak hours.
If you are not so sensitive you can try this lounges. I would not recommend it.
Since your layover is only 10h you not qualify for Qatar Discovery. The sleep and fly pods in Doha are quiete expensive and are too not real rooms and can be noisy too.
I would recommend you to take a fast dinner in any of the lounges an book yourself a room in Doha by Agoda ect in Millennium Central Doha, which is very close to Metro Station Al Doha Al Jadeda. You get a real room and quiet sleep.
But if you are not very sensitive regarding your sleep and want to risk it, try your luck in the nap areas in the AM lounges.
