The Qatar Tourism Authority has completed the first stage of its hotel rating procedure, Ame Info reported today. All the hotels in Qatar have been rated on factors such as service, room size and hygiene, and will receive their rating by the end of the summer.
The second stage of the hotel rating will see hotels rewarded with points for additional services rendered. The hotel rating procedure will be repeated on annual basis – and with 7000 hotel rooms currently under development, they are going to be kept busy.
Qatar Tourism Authority has stated that it wishes to avoid following Dubai’s route of over-hyping its hotel with six and seven star ratings, sticking instead to the standard five star rating.
Hopefully this will improve the standards of Qatar’s hotels, which can vary considerably – see our Hotel Guide for more information.
