With this hotel, you get what you pay for It has nothing to offer but that's why it's only $40 a night The bed was uncomfortable, noisy and no free breakfast even though it's posted on the website

Bedbug Mansion
I was lead to a room with two beds, the room was full of hair on the floor and on the bed sheets, where it seemed like the sheets where tucked in place but the room itself was not cleaned! I did what I do usually which check for bedbugs! and Guess what! I found (ALOOOOTTTT) babies, mid size and monster size!. went downstairs and gave then S**** then they offered me another room! I didnt have any other choice but to take it since it was 3:00 am at that time. the rest of the stay was okay, the new room was clean (recently re innovated), breakfast was terrible (expected due to the price range) staff were friendly... well, NOT RECOMMENDED!

It was far below expectation. The matress and bedsheets were discoloured. Bathroom was not “clean”, the tile grout was dark as wel as the filler around the shower cabin.

The stay can be rated as Good and value for money. The rooms were clean and decently maintained but had cockroach. The hotel is located in Souq and has good connectivity for places around Doha.

The cheapest and the worst in Doha.
Well I know it is a cheap 2 star hotel. Still it was very worse than what I was expecting. They could not find my reservation and I had to wait for 15 minutes at lobby. The room was very smelly, worn out and dirty. They didnt even have basic stuff like slippers toothbrush, toilet paper or towels in room. They also did not have plug converters which is a must in qatar. Had to pay for it. Thankfully it was only for one night. The only plus is the location.

Nice hotel, great location.
This hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the famous Souq Waqif, a shopping and dining hot-spot which is why I chose to stay here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately I checked out too early to enjoy the breakfast offered here. This hotel is a short walk from the Museum of Islamic Art (10 minute walk) as well as the #777 bus which takes you to the Airport and the City Center. I also took this into consideration when choosing this hotel.

Not the best of Doha - 0.5 stars
The stay got off to a bad start when they couldn't find my reservation. This amongst other things such as staff not really knowing what they are doing made for a long check-in. Then they were not sure whether breakfast was included on my booking or not - then removed it anyway. The room was of low standard but acceptable given the price. However the shower is the smallest I have ever used and has no glass or curtain to close it. Location is great but a little of the beaten track. Very safe

Functional, comfortable
I stayed at Lavilla for one night, on long flight lay-over. This is not a resort hotel, if you want one of those go to the beach. For what it is, a comfortable place to sleep, have breakfast, its fine, and I have no hesitation to recommend it. Staff were helpful and courteous.

I did not expect the hotel to be in such a condition - neighborhood is not great (despite being near Souq waqif) - room was small and in a bad condition - could not use the shower because of mould all around it - glad it was 1 night only

Quite frankly Surprised
Quite frankly hotel is bad in all respects first reception was very poor booking did not show in their system. Even though, it was assured to me and confirmed booking is done. I ended up in 3 bad rooms. the rooms were too small and the furniture was too old and worn out. The bathrooms were dirty with very rusty and old furniture. Completely not match the rooms I have seen in the advertisement and requested and made the reservation for. I do not recommend this hotel at all. It does not worth what I have paid for.

Great stay. The room (and view of the city) were beautiful, and the staff were so accommodating that they even brought breakfast to my room at 5 before my flight, when it isn't supposed to be served until 6. And the price is right, too.

Don't book now...wait for construction to finish.
The front of the hotel has a nearly one-block dirt parking lot that you have to walk through to get to the hotel. It is unclear what is to be done to make a proper entrance to the hotel. The room was fine, the staff friendly (though a bit difficult to understand because they are from India or Bangladesh).

A hotel to avoid
OK. So it's half the price of other hotels in the area. But you get what you pay for. I had to move rooms to get hot water. Breakfast is not the kind of breakfast you're expecting. The room I moved to had a bed as hard as a rock (a medical bed) so they had to bring a small better mattress. My advice: go to the hotel next door.
