Have you accepted the offer with Qatar Airways (QR) or Qatar Aviation Services (QAS)?

From what I know, they provide fully furnished accommodations to their staff either you are with QR or QAS. They are much stricter on groundstaff female employees with "deadlines". QR groundstaff deadline is 12 AM and I think for QAS its 10 PM. Deadline basically means you have to return to the accommodation before the times specified else you are reported to the higher authorities.

As for the location, they have quite a few accommodations rented out. One is bang opposite the airport, the other in Al Sadd and a newer one in Al Najma area. So the questions that you have asked for laundry etc depends where they decide to allot your apartment. Generally their buildings are in areas that have shops catering to all of your basic requirements.

Wish you all the best and welcome to Doha!
