What an underwhelming lounge...the food options were a joke/not good overall, and there seemed to be way too many lounge staff being idle/getting in the way.
I noticed that there were rest areas to the far right (when entering the lounge), but the purpose is defeated when people are able to use their mobile phones. Guess my expectations were too high after having visited the premium terminal a few times.

I was also a bit disappointed with the lounge. I built in a longer layover to enjoy the lounge but it wasn't so much fun in the end. Will keep the layovers short in future and just pop in for a drink.

I have just short of a 3 hour layover next month at DOH taking a shower before I hop on the 9 pm ish flight to SIN is important to me. It doesn't sound like that's going to happen from what I read here. Do I have any other one world lounge options?

It may be possible. I've managed to get a shower in during a 90 minute layover at the Al Mourjan.

I've a fairly lengthy B2B in CAI later this year and I've been debating leaving my suitcase in an Al Mourjan luggage locker while I head to CAI and back. In total it'd probably be around 13 hours... are there any time limits on the usage of these baggage lockers?

As another data point - when I did my DIY Night tour of Doha (using the QR transit visa), one of the lounge dragons at the bottom of the escalators up to the lounge voiced very considerable concerns that I was planning to leave the airport for a couple of hours with a bag left in the locker. Not that the concerns of the dragon stopped me from doing what I wanted to do, but it does indicate an expectation that you should be remaining in the airport whilst your hand luggage is stored.

I'm not 100% sure, but the baggage locker setup is completely self-service, so I'd think that you wouldn't run into any issues assuming you do return within a reasonable time.

I have an upcoming 3.5 hour connection (0500-0830). What have people's recent experiences been like waiting for a shower at that time? Will likely seek a shower as soon as I arrive at the lounge.

When I was there in November it definately wasn't self service - there was a staff member in attendance and was taking careful notes of my ticket, onward flight and which locker I had used.

If you a desperate for a shower and don't want to wait too long, you can try your luck at the Oneworld Business Class Lounge (the one for non-Qatar business class passengers and Oneworld Sapphire passengers not travelling in business). They also have showers there and weren't too busy during my last visit in December.

I'm curious if those of you who have had long shower waits are men or women? I have always walked right into a shower with no wait. I'm wondering if the women's shower room is always less busy, or if I have just been lucky so far.

I guess there's is an equal number of men and women showers but more men traveling business class...

When I went at around 5am I waited around 10 mins but this is definitely when it begins to get busy. I think you'll be able to get one if you go straight there.
