Is Two hours enough time for a comfortable Connecting flight in Doha. Want to be able to use the loo, grab a coffee and something to eat and get to next gate comfortably . *may have lounge access as Velocity Gold and flying Qatar unsure on this.
Have not been to Doha so don't know the airport., flying Amsterdam Doha Brisbane on Qatar first leg, second leg Qatar booked but apparently Virgin operated flight so unsure if that means the gates will be some distance from each other …
 
On one ticket that ought to be reasonable time.

Two hours is fine.
If it’s on one ticket as syd said.
I had time for all of those things and a long walk to some obscure gate where they bused to the aircraft and my connection was two hours although it ended up being less due to late arrival.
I had no time for the lounge, though.

On your inbound IFE system, you will be able to bring up a map of the terminal and a list of arriving and departing flights/gates, so you should be able to plan your route through the terminal. Take a pic of it with your camera for later reference.

You’ll do arrival security. If the gates are at either end of the terminal, which is Y shaped, there is a train up one floor to take you down the spine of the Y.

The terminal itself can be crowded and a bit disorienting with all the shops so watch out for the signs.
 
The loyalty lounge at Doha actually has a ton of showers somehow, so I doubt you would need to wait, I've done 2h transits many times at Doha, I think it's enough time for everything, only just.

In my experience, two hours should be ample. More of a shopping mall than an airport in the middle bits – aren't they all? – but it's not hard to get places and there's a train system to get around. I like the advice to take a photo of the IFE airport map.

If there's one thing I find problematic in travel, it's working out how a new – to me – airport is laid out. The first time is a challenge, but subsequently I romp through. Having a map or an image already on your phone is a great idea because there aren't always airport maps where you need them, or internet connectivity to look something up.

In Doha, everything hangs off the central atrium with that big – and weird – teddy bear. Once you find that you should be able to puzzle everything else out.
