i visited Lebanon twice and stayed at the same hotel, its a small hotel like 6 or 7 floors only, but rooms are cozy, clean and comfortable, very nice friendly staff, EXCELLENT BREAKFAST & deserts, great service. Perfect location, 10 minutes walking from the biggest shopping mall in the neighborhood the abc mall. neighborhood is classy and safe and there... More

Been here two years ago and am still convinced this is a very nice hotel. Especially since we have been on 8th floor this time which has been entirely renovated and redone (had room 808). But now there is yet another 25 or so stories-building being erected right opposite. And they are working from 7 to 20.00, and a bit... More

I enjoyed... More

Sofitel is known for inconsistent quality across its network of socalled "luxury" hotels but their Beirut property is simply unacceptable. Tiny bathrooms, terrible windows that were hardly soundproof, 3 star quality bathroom amenities, 3 star quality breakfast, pathetic maintenance ( carpeting did not... More

Stayed at the Gabriel for three nights in December. Even though the décor is rather old-fashioned I really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and greet you personally. I liked the area too, walking distance from the ABC shopping mall and easy to get around on foot and you feel very safe is the area. Would definitely go back

At this level of hotel it's the details lacking that I notice most. Grubby carpet in the room. Bathtub edges siliconed multiple, inexpert times. Sliding door to the balcony that doesn't close tight and let's in street noise. Banged up walls in the hallway. A dismal fitness center in the 'dungeon' of the hotel. Restaurant food that is second rate... More
