Good for the price
I stayed in the 3 bedroom suite. The rooms and living room were really spacious. The kitchen was separated, which was nice. The whole suite could use an update. It's just dated. The customer service, I thought, was pretty good.

The check out tooks more than 45 mins I haven’t experience that thing in other hotels
We came in at 3:30 pm and still no available room. We had to wait for 30 minutes to get into the room. And staff cannot even tell us how long we are going to wait.
The stay went really well. We loved the spaceous unit and we were able to let friends come over to celebrate a party with us. The service of the attendants were really good too. However, there were TV’s but we couldnt access the channels. But other than that, the stay went really well.

So Disappointed , Old furniture ,dirty and no customer service at all.
even you are guest ,the owner dont care and he can kick you out any time from any hotel facility he want to use and without any notice.
Very tired and in need of a renovation. Towels were 'grey' and fraying. Bedsheets were tired with rips and holes. We had a 3 bedroom apartment for the weekend (5 of us) and were only given 2 towels; however staff were accommodating when asked. All equipment was tired or lacking - we had to ask for hairdryer (then first one was broken). Some Light fittings & sockets were broken and tired. When asked staff were reluctant to assist us in getting a taxi. We won't return.
Everything was fine except the billows.. sooo hard
I like the location

The elevator is very busy and I was in 5th floor so I need 10-15 to get the elevator
And their are problem with smoke from other room , when I was in my room I smel to much smoke from other room
Not satisfied at all. I could not call this place a hotel. It is like a rented ordinary apartment. Construction job next door, hard to get towels, very small indoor swimming pool, interior of the Lift scratchy, etc. Apart from that location wise is near to city center, reasonable foods, and spacious.

Big rooms, nice location
Travel with a family, I liked the location and room size, breakfast is below expectation
We reached the hotel by 8 am and our check in was around 3pm. Mr Adil the receptionist got the room ready and made sure we settled within 15 minutes. He did not charge a penny extra.
The second time i go to Governer and was great. I like it . The only problem was the AC was very coold and they tried to change it but nothing changed.
- tired rooms and chipped baths
- loud A/C would roar anywhere it was on
- poor staff service - getting a taxi is impossible and the limousine service is hardly there and then a rip-off

Dear Mr. Mic,
We are really disappointed to know that you did not enjoy your at Governor West Bay Suites & Residences.
We appreciate your comments and will make sure to work on the points mentioned.
Kind Regards
Very nice hotel, very nice, spacious, clean room.
Only issue was the windows not being fully sealed causing doors to chatter and you could hear the building work nearby, other than that lovely hotel and good value for money

Its more of an apartment complex. Location is good
Overall a pleasant stay, but housekeeping isn't as responsive and timely.
The amenities are basic and not luxurious.

Quantiy rather than Quality
This is a trade off between quantity – great and generous – and quality – ok but not special. It is conveniently located near the city centre mall and financial district on the edge of the diplomatic area, and is probably ideal for a family. However, the business traveller may find a more conventional hotel, as the furnishings are pretty basic and it lacks warmth. However, it has a well equipped kitchen and the two bed flat is very spacious.
The apartments are absolutely fantastic. the rooms are clean and well maintained. the room service was quick and the food was pretty tasty too. i dint have a chance to use the pool and the spa but it looked impressive.
Me and my 9 other members stayed in the residence for about a week and we all had great time there. One of the reception staff upgraded 2 Two-bedroom suites to Three-bedroom suites for free since there was no twin beds, and reception staff were smart and they knew what they have to do for us. The suites are all clean, huge and well-decorated. They even provided us comlimentary bottled water everyday so we did not have to buy extra bottled water. The breakfast was great and the restaurant staff was ready to cook omelettes and bake pancakes. On the lobby, they provided their traditional tea and sweets for free. If I visit Qatar again, I will definitely stay here again!
The Governor Suites is a nice, clean hotel that is conveniently located in the West Bay area. We had a huge 3-bedroom suite for a very reasonable price. The suite included a full kitchen and washer and dryer which was an added bonus. Definitely an excellent option for a larger group or family.
Great hotel, they gave me a 3-bedroom suite with an amazing view, fantastic. However, hotel staff are very unhelpful, they don't smile at all, don't care about the customer needs, not supportive at all.....really a waste of a great hotel with such staff!!!
