Hotels near Basta Al Fawqa Mosque - 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.

I have enjoyed my stay at Bliss3000. I have always wanted to visit the famous Hamra street and this hotel is in the heart of Hamra area. I like to thank the staff for always being there when I had any issue with the room. Sympathetic and helpful, from the porter to the cleaners and reception staff. The beds are comfortable and the views from the windows were very nice and vibrant. For the price , this is an excellent location. No electricity or AC issues 24/7. TV and mini kitchen so handy. Bathroom just need an upgrade and this will be the full 10/10 mark. Will be back again. X

Dear All, So far, my Beirut Hilton Metropolitan stay 7-14 march has been fantastic. Due to my disability( wheelchair dependent ) I prefer to stay in a safe, clean and honest environment with excellent services when I’m in need of anything. The Hotel’s location created a safe heaven from which you can explore Beirut and Lebanon by taxi. There are plenty of reasons to stay at the Hotel for more relaxation. For me relaxation is provided best with visiting the gym at the Habtoor(connected with a walking bridge) and get helpful training by George the fitness instructor After seeing plenty of things in a day in and around Beirut finishing it with an al dente Pasta and Tiramisu at Venice(adjacent) is a must. This hotel provides plenty of reasons to feel safe while exploring the beauty Lebanon harbors. See you in October!

I would rate the hostel with 4 stars if I am paying half-priced, but I will rate 3 stars for what I paid. We stayed in the hostel for 4 nights (3 nights in a Deluxe room, and 1 night in a budget room). The deluxe room is in the main building where the budget room is at a new building which is outside of the main building. Pros: 1. Excellent location: Located at the Gemmayzeh area which is a nice area to dine and walk around. There are a lot of cafes, bars and restaurants around the area. 2. Nice traditional Lebanese breakfast is provided. 3. The hostel gets a café where the food and drinks are offered with a reasonable price. 4. Nice atmosphere and vibe: a good place to meet other travelers. 5. Nice indoor and outdoor common areas for you to chill around. 6. Staff: all with very good English speaking skills. 7. Generally clean. Cons: 1. Overpriced: I paid more than 90 USD for the “Deluxe Room” but what you get is just a small room with a private bathroom and a common balcony. That’s all. The budget room is around 25 USD cheaper and it is only smaller in size and no balcony comparing to the “Deluxe Room”. I understand the price in Beirut is much expensive than the rest of the cities in Lebanon. However, I can get a suite (including breakfast) in Byblos with 6X USD, thus I expect they offer more with this price. 2. Room size: Small for Deluxe room and incredibly small for the budget room. You cannot even open two suitcases in the budget room. 3. Room’s facilities: Very dim at night. Should have more lighting for the room. Inadequate power plugs in the room. 4. Some furniture/facilities of the room ruined. 5. No lift for the hostel. 6. Wifi is slow and very unstable. 7. Electricity: I understand that the whole country, especially Beirut is suffering from power shortage. We are definitely okay with power shortage for a short period of time. However, we undergo power shortage for more than 1 hour for 2 nights of our stay. We also stayed in other hotels/hostels in other cities and this hostel offers the most unstable power supply. 8. The soundproofing for the main building is okay, but poor soundproofing was found in the new building. 9. Some staff are helpful and friendly, but some are not very attentive. Some can provide detailed information about the city, but some just too carefree. I do expect more helpful and attentive staff for a hostel. This is definitely a good place for solo backpackers!! But if you travel with someone else, unless you really want to stay in Gemmayzeh area, otherwise you can find much more cheaper alternatives in Hamra area.

I've been to this hotel three times. To be honest, people are very nice. But it looks like nobody goes into the room and looks at it with the guy's eyes. I ask the manager if he ever tried to look into the bathroom. . what is the water flow that can wash your body and your head if you want to wash your hands... and the water flow under the shower... very, very slow and thin... And whether they send someone to the room to check out something other than a minibar... Are they going through the hallway to feel a very unpleasant smell? ... and staying there for hours. . I have a lot more to write. . . . Really. . In short, the management has to learn how to do this job. And I won't give the hotel a fourth chance. - Oh, yeah.

Great location, friendly staff. The room was very tired. TV didn’t work and neither did some of the lights so the room was rather dark. There was tea/coffee making facility in the room however even though we stayed 5 nights, the supplies were never replenished and the used cups were not cleaned. The bathroom was really tired with mouldy depleted shower walls and the seals on the shower door were worn out as after every shower the bathroom was filled with water, very dangerous for slipping. Be careful. The breakfast was hit and miss as some days there was a selection and other days non (at the same time). I guess considering the economic crisis in Lebanon, it is the best they could offer.
