I've emailed them for a flight well into the second half of February, and they confirmed my stay within a few hours.

Obviously the offer is over at 12:00 noon Doha time already, weird that the cut-off time is noon instead of 11:59pm... They also increased the price to 100 USD for two nights in the last few days, instead of the originally announced 50 USD...
Now there's the regular offer for 28 USD/night for a one-night stay (5 star hotel), details here: https://www.discoverqatar.qa/stopover/

I wonder if this programme has now been replaced with a paid one night version... I guess it's overall cheaper for those staying two nights.

I think you are out of luck. That being said, it only costs roughly $30USD for a 5-star hotel. Makes for a decent day room ;-)

According to https://www.discoverqatar.qa/stopover/ the stopover program runs until the end of 2019, but it isn't free any longer. $28 for a night at a 5-star hotel is not bad though. However, when I try to click on "View Details" for any of the hotels on that page, it just goes to the top of the page and doesn't load any info. Has anyone been successful in booking a stopover recently? Is there another way to book that's not through that page?

I just booked one today for week after next. On the discoverqatar.qa website I clicked on the stopover tab (not the hotel offers as said no availability) then put in the date and gives you selection 4/5*. Not the best choice but got the grand hyatt (which looks good although 25 mins away) for circa £20 admin fee. You just enter your ticket number in the booking page.
Note I hadn't booked as a multi-city just had an o/night as part of an R class (discounted bus) ticket. And I had booked the flight about a month ago. I guess I will get free-visa on arrival and grab an uber.
I was going to book the Sharq village as so close and have stayed before - but was £180 on hotels.com so this is a great deal.

Hi all,
Been through the thread but can't find the answer I'm looking for. The T&Cs state that 'Check-in dates at hotel must match flight arrival date in Doha'. This is a 15h layover, from 00:30 to 15:30. If I input same day check-in/out, it comes back with no rooms available.
Is that actually the case, or should I book as 'check out one day later'?
Finally, just to double check (haven't seen anything to the contrary), this is absolutely fine on one-way tickets?
Thanks!
