Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is bustling with guests, and the room I got was the only one available at the time. However, despite not being completely ready yet, the room was perfectly spacious, large, and oh-so-comfortable. The quiet and cleanliness stood out during my stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and had the most amazing views, making my experience unforgettable. However, it's worth noting that the view was not great if you looked onto the hotel's other building, especially after 4:00 PM. The rooms weren't massive, but they still provided a cozy and comfortable space.
I was thrilled with the prime location of the hotel, allowing easy access to downtown Beirut for business, pleasure, and medical needs. Although the hotel requires renovation, the peaceful and relaxing ambiance, especially during the afternoon call for prayer, created a mood of complete tranquility all afternoon. Yet, being situated near shopping areas and the sea simultaneously was a definite plus.
The hotel is perfectly situated between downtown and Hamra, just a stone's throw away from the sea and the American University of Beirut, surrounded by abundant dining options. The rooms were very good, clean, and quiet, with a tiny balcony at the back. The service was outstanding, with pleasant and helpful staff ready to assist at any moment. The dining experience was truly enjoyable, offering fresh and tasty dishes at a very reasonable price. The facilities were top-notch, providing a great overall experience.
The hotel offers a truly luxurious stay with incredibly spacious rooms and breathtaking panoramic sea views. However, there were inconsistencies with the room readiness upon arrival, causing some initial skepticism.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, there were some issues with the reservations as we wanted to be close to family members. The service, especially from Paul, the duty manager, was extremely helpful and welcoming. The location was convenient, with plenty of dining options nearby. The dining experience offered a good choice of dishes, but the facilities could use some improvements.
