Hotels near Saint Elias and Saint Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Catholic Cathedral in Beirut

We spent here two nights. You can easily notice that once it had been a great hotel. Now some furniture is a little bit worn out and the glory has faded. Still, I believe it is a nice place to stay as it is situated in lively Hamra district, close to the city centre. The prices are good, I think you cannot really expect a super modern hotel in this location for 30 dollars, just be realistic. We had here breakfast - all tasty, friendly staff members but to be fair there was rather narrow choice of food. Probably it is wiser to go for breakfast somewhere else.

I have enjoyed my stay at Bliss3000. I have always wanted to visit the famous Hamra street and this hotel is in the heart of Hamra area. I like to thank the staff for always being there when I had any issue with the room. Sympathetic and helpful, from the porter to the cleaners and reception staff. The beds are comfortable and the views from the windows were very nice and vibrant. For the price , this is an excellent location. No electricity or AC issues 24/7. TV and mini kitchen so handy. Bathroom just need an upgrade and this will be the full 10/10 mark. Will be back again. X

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.

Many of Beirut's ”golden age” hotels have disappeared after the war and it is wonderful to see Phoenicia evolve with the times while commemorating its glorious history. You can easily spend your entire vacation on the Phoenician track, there are several restaurants here (actually only the buffet at this hotel I think is very good), a nice scene of a small pool, excellent people watching in the lobby (during my stay, including the arrival of the Swiss president, wife, and accompanying staff). When you need to change the environment, St George's pool is a short walk across the street from the seaside park. It is definitely a great stay in Beirut.

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.

The Markazia suites are billed as 5 star but it would be lucky to get a 3 star in most countries so let's begin. When arriving with heavy luggage the door staff just watched and didn't even open the door There is only one restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a small bar attached to it The breakfasts are poor - the selection is limited and the coffee dreadful Rooms are faded and old fashioned - my carpet had stains and was thin. The bath room was cramped, the toilet seat came off once and the sliding doors of the bathroom kept getting stuck The suites had a ring for cooking but no utensils.... it just goes on. The facilities are just simply inadequate reception staff were pleasant but this is a really poor experience. Avoid there are much better places at the same price.

Every time I go to Beirut on a business trip, I will definitely live here. I can see Pigeon Rock. I like it very much. But this time I was disappointed. I booked a person in advance and arranged a double bed. Usually there is no requirement for remarks. I always arrange a room that can see Pigeon Rock. This time specially The long wire bathtub on the carpet in room 1508 should be old. It doesn’t need to be filled with water, but gently cleaned. The hangers and rails in the white lacquered closet are all dusty. From last night After checking in, I kept playing room service and wanted slippers and toothbrushes. The line was always busy and could not be connected.
