During my ~20-hour transit time in Doha airport, I spent most of the time in Al Mourjan Business Lounge and 3 hours in this sleep ‘n fly Sleep Lounge.
How to access this lounge
Only Single FlexiSuites in the sleep ‘n fly Sleep Lounge are available to Priority Pass members. I was able to book a sleep pod for myself, and another one for my partner with the complimentary lounge benefit that comes with the Citi Prestige Mastercard.

I was told that Priority Pass guests are not allowed to pre-book a stay, even if it is done in-person.
Guests without complimentary access may also pay the following rates:
Maximum stay duration with Priority Pass
With Priority Pass, guests can stay a maximum of 2 or 3 hours, depending on the stay period.
The Sleep Lounge only has 24 of those Single FlexiSuites and I was told that it is difficult to book one during the super peak hours of Doha Airport.
My partner and I stayed for 3 hours from 4pm to 7pm for a good nap.
| Stay period | Max. stay duration |
|---|---|
| 10pm till 12 noon | 2 hours |
| 12 noon till 10pm | 3 hours |
Getting to the lounge
The sleep ‘n fly Sleep Lounge is located in the transit area, near the B gates. Because of the small walkway leading up to the lounge, it can be easily missed.
During my visit, it was located beside Loro Piana. Of course, this may change in future, depending on tenency agreement.

Single FlexiSuite
The Single FlexiSuite is well-designed to include storage space, a television, a table and switches and ports within reach.
Guests are also given a Snooze Kit with ear plugs, eye shades and socks.
However, I the bed was pretty hard, and it reminded me of the beds on Singapore Airlines First Class Suites (not a good thing).
In-house guests may also pay US$20 to use the shower.

The sleep ‘n fly Sleep Lounge is great for a short rest or nap. It can be very useful for travellers with complimentary Priority Pass access who have just arrived from a long haul flight.
