The best place to sleep in Doha international airport - departure terminal, 1st floor, look for the sign "quiet zone", next to the coffee shop and duty free shop. They even provide a blanket! So thoughtful!! - JennYang on Facebook

Missed my connecting flight here due to the plane not landing in time. The staff were rude and intimidating to me from the start. The announcements are very hard to hear. Once you miss your flight there is a VERY long queue (about 1hr) at the help desk with lots of people cutting in line and so on. The chairs were uncomfortable and impossible to lie on so your best bet is to head to the top (?) of the airport where the cafe and executive lounges are. It's a comfortable temperature here and if you to the area behind the coffee shop you can get a seat that allows you to put your feet up. Chances are very, very low that you'll be bothered trying to sleep. At the bottom of the terminal is an area where you can get a burger or whatever. There are 2 or 3 computer areas with laptops and wi-fi set up but these were always busy. Under the payphones you will find wall plugs (UK version plugs). the airport itself is in a time vortex and time itself will slow down. hope this helps someone"
