To be honest, I really had my doubts that the Bristol is a 5 star hotel... Upon checking in (we were a group of 7 people), the receptionists were not that friendly. As we took our keys and entered the room, I was shocked at the smell of humidity (or whatever it was), the stained carpet, the very old furniture... more

The minute you enter the lobby you are transported in time like 20 years! Not in a good way though! Even if you're planning time travel with lots of excitement avoid Bristol ! Furniture is tired and worn out, chipped and trying to look like five stars to no avail, everything looks so used you feel you are in a... more

The airport pickup, arranged through the hotel, did not arrive. I called the hotel from the airport and had to wait on the phone while they tried to determine where the pickup was because they could not call me back on my international number. After 15 minutes of waiting, I gave up. The room was old, worn and creepy. The... more

Old World Elegance, My Foot! This place is just a two star hotel with three more stars stencilled in. The "hot" beakfast was just barely so, and only if you ASKED for an egg cooked to order.The lobby is "Louis Farouk" with some missmatched low slung '70's modern stuff thrown in. The room was a hodge podge of two cubicles... more

Le Bristol seems a bit old fashioned and favgours a British style, so its not some modern-design hotel. But it is located in Hamra only a few walks from shopping area and only a walking distance to e.g. the Marina and Beach Club St. George at the Corniche. The Hotel is very clean, especially the bathroom, there is TV with... more

Walking distance to restaurants and highend shopping. 5 min taxiride from Downtown, 15 min from City Mall, 20 min from airport. The hotel itself have an... more

I stayed for a week at this hotel this month. I wanted a 5 star hotel in Beirut and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. I came across an amazingly good offer for the Bristol for around $80 a night including breakfast. The hotel exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The lobby was fantastic with marble, gilded... more

Very nice with quite atmosphere, close to everything. Staff are more than friendly. they gave me a late check out without any extra cost. Food is normal so for sure the advise is to have dinner out. Beirut is known for the best chickens in the MIE. more

I decided to stay at the Bristol hotel for my first stay in Beirut based on the one review I read here on Tripadvisor. I like boutique hotels in general and tend to go with old-world style atmosphere rather than high-tech gadgetry many hotels these days offer. Well, I was not disappointed. Le Bristol was in the middle of the... more
