Thanks for the Answer.If you want to book a stopover hotel they say:"If you have already booked your Stopover flight with Qatar Airways, you will find the link to book your Stopover Hotel on your flight confirmation e-mail."
I can not find the link in my mail, is there any other way to book it or where can I find it exactly?
Thanks a lot for you time

My husband's father passed away today and the only available flight within next 4 hours were QR via DOH. Connection is ungodly 14 hours (overnight), and I am trying to arrange a night at the airport hotel. Unfortunately Oryx is fully booked and being not very familiar with DOH, current travel restrictions and such would really appreciate an advice on where I can book a room for a night on such a short notice? Travelling Y on first leg, C on the second; *O Sapphire.

Sorry for you loss. Where are you flying from and with which passport? Qatar recently relaxed the entry requirements for most vaccinated travelers so if possible (PCR test needed and registration with an app etc), leave the airport and go to a hotel. The city is only 15min drive without traffic and many reasonably priced hotels are available. Other options in the airport are sleep n fly pods, Al Mourjan Lounge sleeping areas (I'm assuming that you have access having bought a last minute fare?), upgrading from Al Mourjan to Al Safwa lounge which can be steep $165USD for 6 hours (but a much better sleeping experience)

Hi, you are probably not on the red list, because only 9 mostly not so developed countries are on it. It is very important to fill out that form: https://www.ehteraz.gov.qa/PER/loginPage?language=en
However you will mostly read, that you should fill it out 72h before your flight. That is after my experience wrong, because they approved me in 1,5 hours. As a Hotel I would recommend to you the Hyatt Regency Oryx Doha.
It is two metro stations away from the hamad international airport and you can use the Best Rate Guarantee so you get an additional 20 percent discount on top to the pricematch.
With the price match, I paid about 66 Euros (286QAR)
Wish you and your husband, all the best

Hey, I got a answer from QA:
Greetings from Discover Qatar.

Kindly note the Stopover package cannot be added to an already existing PNR and cannot be booked separately, as it is a package, same should be booked while booking your flight tickets.

As you already booked your flights you will not be able to avail the stopover package.Regards

I would be disappointed as a regulary customer

Perhaps you can cancel & rebook if the price of the ticket would be the same, using the COVID cancellation policy? (Once they open up the program again), that is.)
