"signage is not very intuitive"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Completely overrated airport. The signage is not very intuitive or clear especially with regards to where the trams between gates are located and what direction they're going. The gates are designed so that you're unable to exit once you enter. Also, the gates have no bathrooms in them. The shopping is your typical duty free shops and designer stores. Nothing in this airport is designed with passenger comfort in mind. Also, we had to go through security again after arriving with a short connection. Barely had enough to make our connecting flight.

“airport has become overwhelmed”

(Bulgaria)

Not Verified | The airport has become overwhelmed. I arrived early and on a Qatar flight to be told (by a somewhat robotic ground staff) that my layover would be 6 hours instead of one. I was promised a voucher ("show your boarding pass at the food court") - but the voucher had never been activated. "Go back to the transit desk!" I couldn't be bothered at this point.

"spacious and well-maintained"

(India)

Not Verified |   The airport boasts modern facilities with sleek architecture, ample seating areas, and a wide array of shopping and dining options. The terminal is spacious and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment for passengers during their layovers. The airport's efficiency in handling flights and baggage is commendable, with generally short wait times at security and immigration checkpoints. However, some travelers may find navigating the airport complex confusing, particularly during peak hours when it can get crowded. Signage could be improved to provide clearer directions to gates, facilities. The shopping and dining choices are abundant, prices tend to be on the higher side. Wi-Fi can be unreliable in certain areas of the terminal,

"may not be a universal outlet"

(United States)

Trip Verified | You're not allowed to sit at some gates till the boarding time. Your bags are scanned to enter gates for US flights and there's no vending machines inside. The WiFi is slower than my provider's 2G data and there are no outlets. If you're lucky enough to find an outlet, it may not be a universal outlet. The only saving grace is the newness and sleek design.

"amazing airport is a true labyrinth"

(Switzerland)

Trip Verified | Awful transit, no help for old citizens. They had to walk 1km from a gate to another. This amazing airport is a true labyrinth, no time for toilets Time or else on this transit.

"20/25 minutes from aircraft to terminal"

(Ireland)

Not Verified | Truly awful experience. Although the terminal itself is pleasant, getting to and from it by bus is an ordeal. A bus ride takes between 20/25 minutes from aircraft to terminal and visa versa. The security on arrival for premium passengers is a joke, it takes a long time with not the nicest staff. The check in gates were a bus is involved are reminiscent of the worst of low cost airlines were chaos and rude staff are the order of the day. I enjoy Qatar airways for a nice onboard experience in their premium cabins, however if the transit experience of being herded like cattle continues I don’t think I would be the only customer to seek an alternative routing to my destination.

"Immigration is a disgrace"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Immigration again this year is a disgrace. I waited 90 mins because the immigration desks are closed and to make it worse they push GCC nationals ahead of the visitors pin the visitors line.

"disabled Uber and another taxi service"

(Qatar)

Trip Verified | A horrible service when it comes to taxi service. They have disabled Uber and another taxi service from the airport and also security not allowing any taxis to stop amd take us. Forced us to take the airport taxi Karwa which I paid 3 times the price than normal. It's harassment and against freedom of choice.

"there were plenty of quiet areas"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I last transited through Doha in April 2022 so was totally confused as the layout has now totally changed and many of the gates renumbered. As I had time before my next flight I was able to have a good walk around and locate the new garden lounge where there were excellent showers and a decent cup of tea. The airport is now much larger than when I previously visited with shops at each end. As I had lounge access I didn't spend to long in the duty free areas. I did note there were plenty of quiet areas to sit if passengers do not have a lounge access. Free Wi-Fi is available but it took several attempts before I was able to log in and reception is better in some parts of the airport.
