Hotels near Benawf Mosque, Beirut

This definitely is not a 5-star hotel, and well below the standards one would expect of a luxury hotel. The hotel is in need of refurbishment - the lifts are tiny (and shudder), and the rooms - whilst reasonably sized - are worn, with stains on the carpet and the upholstery. The bathrooms are small and poky, with dated fixtures. About the only thing that made it upscale were the Lanvin toiletries. There's not even a coffee machine in the room - only instant coffee is available. During the four nights I stayed, I was offered a turndown service only once (the other 3 nights I was out, so I don't know why they didn't just come in and do the turndown?). So the rooms are very much of a low grade. The pool and gym are in the basement. The gym is small, with very dated machines - neither the treadmill nor the elliptical machine worked at all. The cleaning staff were friendly. I never saw the front desk staff except upon arrival and departure, as they are hidden by a big pillar and work behind a plastic screen - it's not friendly or inviting. The security guard was mostly hunched over his mobile phone. So you feel quite ignored as you come and go. The location, however, is great - so close to lots of lovely bars and restaurants, and in a really lovely part of town. All in all, a disappointing Sofitel experience - far more in line with staying in a Ibis. Very expensive for what I got. I wouldn't stay again. And as for all of the other 5 star reviews...you will note that they're all by one- or two-time contributors, so I really question the authenticity. When you find a reviewer who has more than two reviews to their name, you'll see they also gave the Sofitel a low grade.

Decent Hotel, located in the Verdun area near the elegant ABC mall where once can find a variety of restaurants and cafes, however, no supermarket in the vicinity.

Overall a very nice hotel but Breakfast service was not on par with expectations

La ubicación es excelente, Justo frente al mar, vista que disfrutamos a plenitud desde nuestro balcón. Las instalaciones de ocio: piscina y Jaccuzzi calientes, sauna, baño de vapor, gimnasio, están muy buenas y todas ellas incluidas en el precio del alojamiento. El personal del hotel es muy amable. La limpieza tanto en el cuarto como el resto del hotel que visitamos, es impecable. El diseño del interior del cuarto, así como los materiales usados para las puertas, armarios, etc. son de primera calidad! La decoración ha sido realizada con mucho gusto, tanto en el cuarto como en el lobby, bar y restaurante. Como era invierno no pudimos disfrutar del área exterior, tenemos que volver en Verano! Gracias a esa excelente ubicación frente al mar, el hotel se haya alejado de todo, por esa razón recomendaríamos más variedad en la oferta de gastronomía pues no hay nada cerca, uno depende 100% del hotel para comer. Pero la comida del restaurante libanés estuvo excelente, todo lo que pedimos nos gustó!

I had amazing stay there, I enjoyed my time a lot, very cozy hotel with friendly staff, very clean, the room sizes are very comfortable, their Asian Restaurant is wow, most importantly the location is very close to almost everywhere and there is exchange shop right opposite to the hotel. I enjoyed a lot and will definitely come again, I would also like to give my thanks to Mr. Malek from reception as he was very helpful with us during our stay and he was very friendly and professional.

It's okay, it's very close to the downtown area, and it's quite convenient to travel. Breakfast is also good, but it's recommended to add some other hot food, such as fried rice, fried noodles, etc.

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 chose this hotel as a Diamond member of Wyndham for my very first trip to Beirut, and I must admit it was the perfect decision. The staff truly know how to look after their guests. Thanks to Stephanie from the reservation team, I was upgraded to a junior suite with a spectacular view of the Beirut Corniche. The room service and housekeeping teams attended to my every request with genuine care and enthusiasm. The breakfast was superb, with a special mention for the Lebanese omelet. I only wish I could have stayed a bit longer.

A few hundred meters downstairs is Pigeon Rock. You can choose a sea view room. The view is really good when you open the window in the morning

One of the best places I visited around the world , very nice staff , excellent hospitality, best service ever and the pool is of the land marks across Lebanon.. Location is perfect and near to down town and most restaurants, staff is very helpful
