I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with all amenities I needed, making my stay very comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was well taken care of. The location, although not right in the downtown area, was convenient and central to the Hamra district where I found plenty of dining options. The dining experience offered a nice variety of Lebanese and Western foods, but the cured meat was a bit lacking. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, but I found the price slightly on the higher side for the value received.
