This is not strictly about Doha but we found this a very useful service at London Heathrow and Gatwick Airports. A lot of people in Qatar travel home or on business and often go through Heathrow. The founder of the Yo Sushi chain (that he subsequently sold on) has a new business venture in Terminal 4 at London Heathrow Airport and the South Terminal at London Gatwick.
It is based loosely on the Japanese tube type hotel. My wife used the one at Terminal 4 Heathrow. Basically it is a small hotel room in the airport where you can freshen up, take a shower, repack or have a sleep inbetween flights. The room can be hired by the hour so you can time this for your stopover time. My wife said it was clean and a very useful place for an 8 hour flight connection.
There are also Yotels at Schipol in Amsterdam and in New York.
