Have booked an Aunt on a flight from Europe back to Australia which has a 22 hour stopover in DOH. She is a bit scared travelling alone and is currently insisting that she doesn't want to leave the airport so wants to book the transit hotel. My honest opinion is that the transit hotel is overpriced for what it is, and better value and a better experience will be had spending the same money on a hotel outside.

Are there any good 5 star hotels either near the airport or who we could arrange to meet her inside the airport and take her to the hotel to ameliorate her nerves?

I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Oryx Doha. There’s a free shuttle that runs every 30 minutes from the hotel to the terminal and it takes about 15 minutes. The hotel was fine and I think I paid about $105 in July for the room which included breakfast.

How does it compare to Oryx Airport Hotel?
