Strandhotels 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.

Really happy with my stay at Smallville. Great service from all staff at all times. The rooms are very spacious and very clean. Love the touchscreen facilities inside the room & great amount of lighting. Balcony is a great size (it does get a bit dusty from the wind) with amazing city views. Breakfast is average but they serve non dairy milk so I was happy!! Wifi is good when connected but does disconnect daily. Would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful hotel, very well located, excellent services. Very complete equipment, perfect accessories. The sea view is recommendable, it's very beautiful. Breakfast is very varied, with an extraordinary medium-eastern buffet. The Italian coffee is a wise choice.

I had a comfortable stay for the price It was in front of the school, so it was convenient because there were many shopping and food options. There are many cafes and you can see the sea within a short walk, so the location is very good. It seems good. What was disappointing was that I had to pay for parking even though I stayed.

This is a very good hotel in Beirut. Good location, hotel service and facilities are not bad. The lobby manager is very good, help us plan the travel route and help us charter. Entering the hotel has security check-ups and five days of trips to Lebanon have stayed at this hotel.

The hotel is clean and the staff are overall friendly. The terrace is amazing, staff very nice, evenings there are the best in Beirut. The breakfast is great and staff very friendly. The only bad area is the swimming pool. The swimming pool staff are not friendly overall and not trained to differentiate between one day pass guests and live in guests. Example, despite staying for 2 days, in 2 rooms: 1. I was asked to pay deposit for towels in the pool! 2. I had a pack of chips for my kid and the staff refused to let me take it in.. They took it away at the entrance. I asked Yousef Moumni in spesific to call the manager and ask for exception as my son really wanted his chips, but the exception was rejected and with no appoligitic attitude... The staff at the pool need a lot of training! 3. No WiFi at the entire pool area.

No hair dryer, room service is always busy, everything else is good, the front desk is very friendly, the location is very good, next to the American University, it is very lively at night, there is everything to eat

Terrible experience. I made the same booking by mistake for a day from 2 different bookings pages. Even if my bookings were showing in their system as same booking, same person, same hotel, staff refused to help me. They asked me to contact *********** because they can’t do anything about it. After i was in touch with *********** i was told that hotel is the only one who can help me change the stay(i didn’t ask for refund i asked for change of dates!!!!!!). Staff extremly useless, it was very difficult for me to even have a conversation with them because i went trough a surgery a day before and i was there to recover. After 2 days of me trying to talk and explain my situation they told me there’s nothing they can do about it even if my reservation appeared in their system booked twice !!!!! They refused. The duty manager Mazen was even super rude and laughed in my face telling me it’s not his duty of solving such issues. I decided to check out and booked another hotel because there was no point to extend in a hotel that my money was stolen. At check out they told me it s okay i can extend another day for free. I m just speechless of such customer service, after having to go through many arguments with 3 of the staff and to be told it s nothing they can help with. I came there to recover after a surgery not to have useless arguments with the reception staff! Terrible experience. Terrible managment. They could have helped me from day one, they didn t want!!!! I definetly don’t recommend just because the rudeness of the staff. Rooms are ok but they smell very bad. If you’re non smoker you will feel it.

Studio 44 is a very good hotel in the heart of Hamra which is a very lively district in Beirut full of shops, restaurants and cafes. Room was very clean and spacious enough with a mini kitchen. Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Our tour guide was Khalid Abu Mohammad was very hospitable and friendly, drove us around different cities in Lebanon for a spectacular trips. We loved our stay in Studio 44 and definitely will come again when we visit Lebanon next time ❤️

One of my favourite places in Lebanon, ”35 rooms” is a very charming boutique hotel in the middle of vibrant Hamra. Very clean rooms and comfortable settings and not to mention the lovely staff that working their best to provide us guest with a friendly service. Highly recommend if you are visiting beirut. ♡
