Sofitel Beirut le Gabriel

Beirut|0.62km from Villa Audi Mosaic Museum
This definitely is not a 5-star hotel, and well below the standards one would expect of a luxury hotel. The hotel is in need of refurbishment - the lifts are tiny (and shudder), and the rooms - whilst reasonably sized - are worn, with stains on the carpet and the upholstery. The bathrooms are small and poky, with dated fixtures. About the only thing that made it upscale were the Lanvin toiletries. There's not even a coffee machine in the room - only instant coffee is available. During the four nights I stayed, I was offered a turndown service only once (the other 3 nights I was out, so I don't know why they didn't just come in and do the turndown?). So the rooms are very much of a low grade. The pool and gym are in the basement. The gym is small, with very dated machines - neither the treadmill nor the elliptical machine worked at all. The cleaning staff were friendly. I never saw the front desk staff except upon arrival and departure, as they are hidden by a big pillar and work behind a plastic screen - it's not friendly or inviting. The security guard was mostly hunched over his mobile phone. So you feel quite ignored as you come and go. The location, however, is great - so close to lots of lovely bars and restaurants, and in a really lovely part of town. All in all, a disappointing Sofitel experience - far more in line with staying in a Ibis. Very expensive for what I got. I wouldn't stay again. And as for all of the other 5 star reviews...you will note that they're all by one- or two-time contributors, so I really question the authenticity. When you find a reviewer who has more than two reviews to their name, you'll see they also gave the Sofitel a low grade.

The Grand Meshmosh Hotel

The Grand Meshmosh Hotel

Beirut|0.25km from Villa Audi Mosaic Museum
I would rate the hostel with 4 stars if I am paying half-priced, but I will rate 3 stars for what I paid. We stayed in the hostel for 4 nights (3 nights in a Deluxe room, and 1 night in a budget room). The deluxe room is in the main building where the budget room is at a new building which is outside of the main building. Pros: 1. Excellent location: Located at the Gemmayzeh area which is a nice area to dine and walk around. There are a lot of cafes, bars and restaurants around the area. 2. Nice traditional Lebanese breakfast is provided. 3. The hostel gets a café where the food and drinks are offered with a reasonable price. 4. Nice atmosphere and vibe: a good place to meet other travelers. 5. Nice indoor and outdoor common areas for you to chill around. 6. Staff: all with very good English speaking skills. 7. Generally clean. Cons: 1. Overpriced: I paid more than 90 USD for the “Deluxe Room” but what you get is just a small room with a private bathroom and a common balcony. That’s all. The budget room is around 25 USD cheaper and it is only smaller in size and no balcony comparing to the “Deluxe Room”. I understand the price in Beirut is much expensive than the rest of the cities in Lebanon. However, I can get a suite (including breakfast) in Byblos with 6X USD, thus I expect they offer more with this price. 2. Room size: Small for Deluxe room and incredibly small for the budget room. You cannot even open two suitcases in the budget room. 3. Room’s facilities: Very dim at night. Should have more lighting for the room. Inadequate power plugs in the room. 4. Some furniture/facilities of the room ruined. 5. No lift for the hostel. 6. Wifi is slow and very unstable. 7. Electricity: I understand that the whole country, especially Beirut is suffering from power shortage. We are definitely okay with power shortage for a short period of time. However, we undergo power shortage for more than 1 hour for 2 nights of our stay. We also stayed in other hotels/hostels in other cities and this hostel offers the most unstable power supply. 8. The soundproofing for the main building is okay, but poor soundproofing was found in the new building. 9. Some staff are helpful and friendly, but some are not very attentive. Some can provide detailed information about the city, but some just too carefree. I do expect more helpful and attentive staff for a hostel. This is definitely a good place for solo backpackers!! But if you travel with someone else, unless you really want to stay in Gemmayzeh area, otherwise you can find much more cheaper alternatives in Hamra area.

Beirut|0.31km from Villa Audi Mosaic Museum
Rude and unwelcoming staff and generally not experienced professionals in the hospitality business. The main focus for them is the bar and the restaurant. I suggest you to focus on that because hosting guests is an art and serious business. From the moment we arrived we felt unwelcome. No explanation besides “breakfast starts at 8.30” - “oh but we leave at 8” … silence. “Here is the key to your room” full stop, nothing else. No offerings to help us bringing the luggage upstairs - nothing ! We had to figure out ourself where the hair dryer was, which was weirdly not in the room but in the common hall ( why would you not invest in 5 hairdryer so that each guest have its own ? What if we decided to shower all at once ? ) Same goes for the kettle .. The room: the design is nice though in any western country the bathroom will be considered illegal but fine.. no privacy if you are traveling with a companion. Pillows… guys ( owners / managers ) have you slept in your rooms ? Because if you did, you would know that nobody would sleep comfortably on those pillows. The noise: probably the noisiest room I ever set foot in. It is impossible to sleep and it is not only of its location but also because of the poor quality windows. I went to bed at 12 am and managed to fall asleep at 5 am out of exhaustion, only to wake up 2 hrs later. The sounds of motorcycles, honking, car big and small, people laughing, screaming or simply talking, will accompany you for the entire night. Again, when asked for assistance, they simply said “ hotel is full” no apologies or Whatsoever. The staff itself will stand outside the building careless that there are sleeping guests upstairs. Again, clearly you have never slept in your rooms because if you did, you would pay your guests to sleep there and not the other way round. Skip the hospitality business and leave it to the real professionals who truly know how to host.

Royal Tulip Achrafieh
4/524 Reviews
The hotel I stayed in several years ago, because the economic situation is depressed, the service is slightly worse than before... But the room is still very clean, and the location of the hotel is OK. Breakfast is not good.
ParkTower Suites
4.1/538 Reviews
The hotel is comfortable, the room is large, I will choose to live here next time.
Saifi Suites
4.2/526 Reviews
I had the pleasure of staying in Saifi Suites for nearly three weeks to prepare for a medical conference in Beirut. This hotel is truly wonderful. The rooms are clean, very spacious and well-equipped, as well as quiet. The WiFi is speedy and consistent (which is a rarity in Beirut!). Housekeeping is completed to a high standard. I ordered room service on occasion and the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. The hotel is brilliantly located and if, like me, you prefer to walk, you are within a few minutes of downtown Beirut and only a little further for Zaitunay Bay, Hamra, etc. The airport is also only a 15-minute drive. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and answered my various questions on how to get around the city on my first visit. In particular, the guys and girls working in reception are honestly great. All in all, I would happily recommend Saifi Suites and would be glad to stay again.

Citea is the best value for money place to stay in Beirut. I've been living in Citea for almost two years, and I cannot find one single remark about this place. From nitty, clean and comfortable rooms, to great food, perfect services and wonderful friendly staff.
