    OVERVIEW: The lounge is okay. There is a small section dedicated to families only. Other than that there is also a smoking zone and game zone where you can play some basic games. There is also a place for shower available. The lounge pass costs 49 Euro or 55 dollar for 6 hrs. MY SUGGESTION:- According to me if you are planning to spend atleast 5 hours in the lounge then you may think of buying this pass, otherwise I feel there are lot of good resturants in the airport where you can get quality food and spend couple of hours with half the price.There are also many places in the common area where you can charge your phone and laptop as well. FOODS:- Mainly there were 2 kind of soups and 1 main dish (Noodles). Along with this you can get few varieties of bread. You can also get ready-made wraps, sandwiches, humus and salads. There are some decent desserts available as well like Arabic sweets and mango cheesecakes. All kind of beverages from tea coffee to soft drinks and juices were available. You can also get alcoholic beverages you just need to ask the waiter or the waitress. It is included in the price as well.

    We ordered a standard package (6 hours) while waiting for our transfer. (23 to 07) No place to lay down and strict message not to sleep in the very comfortable chairs. The lounge was a bit full around midnight, but around 2 it was a lot less people. Free drinks (beer and wine you need to ask the people working there to bring to you). Very attentive and pleasant staff. They serve some food. The food is not very normal for westerners (no sausages, no ham and cheese sandwiches, ), but works out fine. Today they served pasta and a mushroom sauce and som chicken stuff in a stu. Mistrone soup and another soup was available. Different types of bread was available with jam. Needed to ask for butter, but was readable available. The Chicken and especially the beef “sandwiches” was very good. Perfect place to stay iff you don’t need to sleep. A bit to busy when we arrived at midnight, but very pleasant after 02.

    It’s a good place to spend some time if you have a long stop over in Doha. Food variety is not as good as a few years ago maybe because of Covid. Also number of seats in Quiet room is not enough.

    The lounge was full and there was bearly enough space. Also there was constant noise of drilling and hammering. Even the quite room was not really quite. Not worth the money. Better get a few good hours of sleep by getting a sleep pods and the roam the duty free and food court for a decent meal. The food was average at best. The only reason I am giving it a 2 start and not one is that the ambience is decent.

    Absolutely amazing experience here at Doha International Airport. Their lounge was very comfortable. Plus the best part was their complementary food and coffee for all the people staying inside the lounge for their long stay. There was a gaming room aswell that made me the happiest 😊 plus if you're about to visit don't miss their deserts here.

    I regularly use the Qatar Business Lounge 'Al Mourjan' and this lounge is better. This lounge is less pretentious and the staff have better customer service skills. Food is exactly the same as Al Mourjan lounge but doesn't have food on-call, just buffet style. Which is perfect for those traveling and just want to relax, eat and not get disturbed. It is much smaller than the other lounges but I have always found that positive

    The lounge is spacious and nice. But the problem is it’s always too crowded. We needed to wait for a really long time before getting access. Both cold and hot foods are served. Food taste was average. but the coffee was real good. There’s separate work station area with mac computers, quiet area and smoking zone. There are comfortable chairs and the washroom & shower was neat and clean. The stuffs are very helpful. You’ll have a pleasant transit time if you can avoid the waiting for access (It usually depends on the timing, in busy flight times the lounge is always full, but during our return flight transit, it was about 3-4am local time and the lounge wasn’t that much crowded so we got access in no time)

    On the first floor, to the right and behind the iconic teddy bear, is the oryx lounge. The reservation team has given precise instructions during the check-in procedure, and everything went smoothly. Despite not being a very spacious lounge, it wasn't all that crowded in the evening when I visited. There are quiet rooms as well as separate games and internet areas. Clean restrooms, and the food is served towards the rear of the facility. The staff were great and helpful. However, I thought the food choices they offered were less than those at competing lounges. You won't need to worry about missing your flight since it contains flight information display systems.

    6 reclining chairs in the quiet zone, an issue they already expressed several times and years ago apparently but they simply won't listen to the actual demand as it seems. (Picture is the best example of supply and demand)with the exception of maybe two people, everyone wishes to just sleep. I don't recommend booking this lounge. Additionally, it's very cold in there. Might be bearable if you're there for 1-3 hours but over the course of 4+ hours it gets extremely cold. Blankets are only given to people in the "quiet zone" though - with no room for flexibility or alternatives for anyone else. Again, people are not being listened to.

    We had a great experience with this lounge. Even it being small but when we were there ( between the time 17:00-23:00 ) it was empty. We loved it the staff were very nice and the space was clean to the tee. It cost us about $72 adult and half of that for child. If ever you are in TRANSIT in DOHA for longer than 3 hours and up I'd recommend to stay in a lounge. It's worth it. The food the drinks the facilities ( they have showers too) all included. They have a quite room that reclines if you need a nap.

    There are two Oryx lounges I stayed in the North lounge. There was plenty of seats throughout the night. The food was topped up regularly. Soft drinks you can help yourself too, alcohol you had to ask for. Shower area and toilets are well maintained, lovely towels. Not great for overnight if you're looking to get some sleep.

    Quiet place for relaxes and takes a nap, with a lot of facilities. I was came here for 7 hours transit for the next flight to Warsaw. It has plenty seats (sofabed also). There are 2 prayer rooms, separated for men's and women's, with the comfortable area for wudhu and pray. It also has shower facilities.

  • 4/5 Pradip K. 3 months ago on Google New
    I paid 75 USD equipment of local currency to get access to the lounge. Pretty decent selectoon of buffet including biryani, soups, spaghetti, desert, wines, juices, sandwiches, etc. I had 11 hr ayover and I think it was totally worth it. 1. It was only for 6 hrs. So for every 6 hrs you pay full price 2. There is only one shower, always occupied. 3. The quiet room for sleeping is actually pretty quiet (as opposed to free men's quiet room that you find near the lounge that was pretty noisy) 4. Only 6 or 7 chairs inside quiet room. However, there is plenty of space with sofas in the main area that you can use to relax or charge your devices. I would give it 4.5 considering the lower cost and value.

    Nice lounge. Not too many options for warm food, but enough for a simple meal. Staff is really nice and polite.

  • 4/5 Damien N. 4 months ago on Google
    If you're on a long haul flight and can afford 75 USD, book yourself into a lounge. My friend and I had an 8/9 hour layover on our trip each way and decided to book this lounge. It's expensive but beats sitting on those stainless steel chairs. The lounge was comfy, offers a shower, toilets, hot and cold meals, and drinks as well as alcoholic beverages...

  • 2/5 Jekabs R. 5 months ago on Google
    It's not that good if you're paying (270 QAR). The food is underwhelming and there is only one shower that you need to wait for. I was wondering why at the entry they kept stressing that there are no refunds. It is very clean I suppose, with plenty of reasonably comfortable chairs.

  • 2/5 RSprv C. 5 months ago on Google
    Too expensive for the services offered. The food is good and the facilities are extremely clean, but the lounge gets very crowded overnight with limited comfortable seating space - the quiet room is small with only 6 reclining chairs available on a first come first served basis that ensures one will not get a seat. Gets cold after 4+ hours.

  • 4/5 Permanent 5 months ago on Google
    A very comfortable lounge with great food, nice relaxing area , shower facilities and very clean. Midnight passengers don't get the quiet room easily however there are enough seats to sit down. I had a good sleep after a few glasses of red wine and enough water. I also had a comfortable chat with friendly staff who are always smiling whilst appreciating their work. Affordable for long stays.

  • 4/5 Nadima K. 1 year ago on Google
    The lounge is spacious and comfortable, the toilets were clean, the staff were helpful and friendly. I would have given it a five star if the food items were not this few. It would be great if a few more items could be added. The variety of breads and desserts were more in number than the main items. Other than this, a very good place to relax until the next flight.

  • 2/5 MAATH A. 5 months ago on Google
    The place is very normal, and there was no good treatment, the food was not available I don’t know why, The passengers are larger than the size of the lounge. I do not recommend entering the lounge. Unfortunately, I did not like.

  • 4/5 Uus H. 6 months ago on Google
    It was so tiny space, yes I can eat anything I want… but sadly I cannot sleep there. The bathroom was very clean cause the workers always clean after someone using it. The food is nice they always refilled every hour but the coffee Maschine are sometimes messy. A lot of chairs and tables but sometimes it’s full, so I should share with the other. I paid 70€ from Qatar website…

  • 4/5 Ganesh K. 6 months ago on Google
    Such a great compact design for a basic lounge with customised cushion chairs. Has a separate play room, computer room, smoking room & family room. All the rooms are quite decent. Drinks & food are remarkably good. Highly recommended for those travellers who are expecting a calm & memorable short stay at the airport..

  • 2/5 png w. 7 months ago on Google
    Basic lounge with cushioned chairs. Most of the quiet rooms were used only with the family rooms available. We had a 4hrs transit and was going to stay for long. Requested for a blanket for my wife who was feeling cold. Was quickly rejected by the staff in the lounge. Reason being if they gave us a blanket more customers will start asking for blankets. What ludicrously! If so then hand out blankets for whichever lounge guest requests for it! We guests paid for the lounge stay and so jolly well do your work. Will highly NOT recommend this lounge.

  • 4/5 Almaas Z. 7 months ago on Google
    The cost for a six-hour stay was $75. I would suggest this lounge for layovers lasting around 5 to 6 hours at most. There is room for improvement in both the quality of food and the comfort of the reclining chairs. Enjoy your time in the lounge since there are lots of options for relaxation, gaming and internet as well.

  • 3/5 Przemek S. 7 months ago on Google
    Well designed space, but too much crowdy there. Not many relax chairs. Of course there is a shower room - clean and tidy.

  • 4/5 Peter W. 8 months ago on Google
    Relaxing. Attentive staff. Well equipped shower, (+loo and sink) room. Food and drink no major complaints. Really enjoyed the chicken Biriani and the fruit juices. Would have like a change in mains choice every so many hours(I was there 6). Plenty of space and different types of room. Although relatively expensive I felt it good value for a long layover, especially to have a refreshing shower.

  • 4/5 Valerie N. 11 months ago on Google
    Food buffet is good. Workers constantly cleaning and keeping the areas tidy. There's only 1 shower and people waiting in line for it. Only about 7 sleep recline chairs. The rest are standard leather arm chairs. Electrical outlets by most chairs

  • 5/5 Adedayo E. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful lounge situated within the Hamad international airport DohaQatar. Thr ambience is topnotch and very inviting. It has great amenities that smells affluence. If you ever need a lounge anywhere in the world i will recommend rating iy with Orynx lounge. They have set the standard and they are exemplary. The foods breakfast lunch and dinner are very tasty and cross cultural as well. You never taste anything like this. The staffs are very courteous and they know their onions. It has different t rooms for your enjoyment. Quiet rooms, game, restrooms all top notch

  • 1/5 Stephen R. 8 months ago on Google
    I was given free access to the lounge thanks to priority with Gulf Air. Some people were being asked for €75 to enter! Once inside, it's just lots of seats. The food looked very very basic (some simple wraps and sandwiches) one pasta dish and one rice dish. There were some breads and other basic salad dishes but it all looked bleak, I left. Even though it was free, I walked out and went to the food court to buy food and sit somewhere in the airport. Had I paid, I'd have been very offended and would have asked for a refund.

  • 4/5 Jiak P. 11 months ago on Google
    The lounge here was quite basic, and since DOHA airport tends to have high footfall, it tended to get crowded. There wasnt any quiet corners to relax in this open-spaced lounge. Shower facilities with Diptique amenities are available for those who wished to freshened up. The quality of food here was good surprisingly, even though variety was lacking.

  • 5/5 Danaz 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice lounge with both refreshments and alchol served, very nice waiters and waitresses who are happy to serve you. If you like alcohol, just ask a waiter or waitress and they will serve you. In my time, they served rum, vodka, wines, and beers.
