Some Hostels Are Single-Gender

If you're looking to stay in a hostel in Doha, be sure it's gender-separated. Some hostels (such as Casper Hostel) solely have male dorms, while T Ladies Hostel only has female dorms. To further complicate matters, the policy isn't always evident at first.

Men's and women's dorms are available at Q Hostel, however no hostel in Qatar offers mixed dorms. Couples may be better off upgrading to a mid-range hotel as a result.

Last but not least, Airbnb is permitted in Qatar and might be a cost-effective alternative to a hotel. Around The Pearl, there are some lovely self-contained apartments with sea views, as well as more basic private rooms near the souq.
