World Cup fans are outraged by the quality of hotels in Qatar

The story of hotel rooms in Qatar is a hot topic of fans coming to cheer at the 2022 World Cup. The number of rooms is increasingly scarce compared to the overwhelming demand of the audience. This causes hotel room prices to be pushed up very high, while the quality is not commensurate.

Recently, Milad Mahmooditar, an Iranian fan, said he had to spend 200 USD (equivalent to 5.5 million VND) for a night at a hotel in the fan village in Qatar. However, Anh described the room as a "tin barrel" and used words like "ridiculous" and "unsettled" to describe the room he was staying in while waiting for the Iran-England match on Sunday. next Monday.

"It's silly to spend a ton of money just to stay in a tin. I'm 6 feet (183 cm) tall, but my bed is too small, but there's no other room here to exchange. The air in here is so noisy that I can't sleep.The toilet is or is not, the room is so small that you can hardly move without touching the table or the bed.

I lost up to 200 USD per night when I should have only needed 100 USD for a 5 star hotel with full service. This is not how the host country should deal with tourists like us, who have to pay huge sums to be in Qatar.

I paid a lot of money to come here. I wish I deserved better treatment like this. I'm sorry to have to say these words but I'm really angry. Maybe the people who are rich and live in the fancy houses of Qatar feel everything is fine, but I don't."

Mahmooditar is just one example of a series of fans outraged by their disappointment with the quality of service in Doha, where they faced hot weather reaching more than 30 degrees Celsius during the competition week. first World Cup.

To solve the shortage of hotel rooms at the 2022 World Cup, Qatar has built a fan village (fans) with a capacity of up to 12,000 people. Mobile homes and huts have been erected in the desert outside central Doha. At Rawdat Al Jahhaniya, the tennis court and big screen did not appear as advertised, instead there was rubble and a large amount of garbage around this fan village.

An unnamed Wales fan revealed: "I could have spent twice as much to come here and watch my team play. But you wouldn't believe they crammed us into a place like this: The steel box had no air, no light, it was like a shoe box!We didn't even have a room to store our luggage, instead it was just a small table just enough to hold one. bowl!".

Another fan village at Ras Bu Fontas with 6,000 visitors a day is also receiving criticism about the condition of the equipment. The price of a room per night is up to 370 pounds (VND 10.9 million), but guests still have to suffer a lot of inconveniences:

"I feel like I'm in hell!" A guest here sent feedback to The Times: "The air conditioner here is almost not working. I go crazy because the air conditioner hums like a jet plane is taking off. Even with the air conditioner on all day, The temperature still doesn't get better. At night, you have to turn off the air conditioner to sleep because it's too noisy!"

Another tourist complained about the quality of the bed: "The bed is very hard, sleeping on the floor is even more comfortable. I have never been in such a needy and inconvenient place. We have spent 10 days. nightmares here. A day or two is more than enough, you won't want to endure it any longer."

Qatar is expected to welcome around 1.2 million tourists during the World Cup season, leading authorities to rush to build hotels or fan villages for tourists around the world. Statistics show that in March this year, 24,000 hotel rooms were booked by FIFA to serve national teams, FIFA officials as well as sponsors.
