I stayed for four days at the Via Mina last week whilst in Lebanon. It was simply wonderful. The hotel itself is nice, with a lovely reading room, a wonderful bar, outside garden and, of couse, the simply stunning winding staircase..... however, it is the staff that make the experience priceless.

On my night of arrival, my friends and I wanted to have a few drinks, however,the bar was closed. Nonetheless, Mohamed, the young man at reception, went ahead and opened it up and served us with a smile.

I am simply a fan of the little hotel ... :-) The room was spacious, simple and comfortable (did i mention the a/c worked?) ~

Whenever I am in Mina and/or Tripoli again, I am staying at Via Mina again..
