Lancaster Eden Bay

Beirut|2.05km from Halabi Bookshop
It's not even a 1 star hotel. The service is too bad. I booked for my wedd (april) in january and they did the maintenance in the entrance the same week and we asked them for a guarantee that it will be done before the wedding day they said yes without writing this in the contract and it wasn't true and all the reception area was dark and in a very bad conditions. Every meeting with the manager or supplier there I paid for my coffee, knowing that my wedding is there and I was paying a lot and going there to meet the suppliers! The event manager don't collaborate with you, late reply or share previous pictures until there's a relative connection talking to her so everything changed and we got a lot of pictures. 1 bathroom was open during the event! And the waiters didn't serve the dinner for everyone, the one who's not seated didn't get the food. My parents didn't have dinner (2 courses ) and when they asked for it they said it's done and one of my parents went to the kitchen and saw many plates not served and eaten there. Many people asked for drinks many times and they didn't get it. we asked the chef for a dessert tasting a month before the event and he didn't do any of them! I called the event manager a day before my wedding to fix issues she didn't answer and they didn't gave me another contact person, until her manager called her. We should have a junior suite with the package and it's really small and not nice a honeymooner so we asked for an upgrade for one night and we keep the suite for daily use. We paid the executive suite and the day use room as well which should be already for us. None went through the room to clean it during our photo session. They did a long conversation to make the check out at 1 instead of 12 pm and we had out wedding a night before! The second day we tried the buffet in their restaurant and we were poisoned! Talking about the photosession we told them that we want to do it there. During the wedding day they didn't accept to take a picture in the lobby just for few minutes and it tooks more than one hour to get the approval so we didn't had time to take pictures before the sunset or with the family. And we went to the rooftop it was closed for maintenance without telling us knowing that they said the outside maintenance isn't under their control, it's about the municipality and what about the inside maintenance ??!!? If I had one month extra to prepare my wedding I wouldn't choose eden bay. So I ask you for this to keep a nice memories for your special day!
Sofitel Beirut le Gabriel

Sofitel Beirut le Gabriel

Beirut|2.26km from Halabi Bookshop
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.

Four Points by Sheraton le Verdun
4/556 Reviews
Decent Hotel, located in the Verdun area near the elegant ABC mall where once can find a variety of restaurants and cafes, however, no supermarket in the vicinity.
Royal Tulip Achrafieh
4/530 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
4.2/527 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 Apart Hotel
4.5/556 Reviews
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.
