- Be prepared to walk up and down plenty of steps to get to the hotel. - Was difficult to control the water temperature in the shower, it either gets too hot or too cold. - Electricity took a break every morning for a couple of hours. Not sure what time it stopped in the very early part of the morning, but it usually started up again around 730/745am or so, Due to the situation in Lebanon this is normal. I just worked around it so not a deal breaker. - Facilities are a little old.

A nice hotel/hostel set in a nice and quiet neighbourhood (Sursock) on the picturesque Saint Nicholas Stairsway. Staff were friendly and every morning a hearty and delicious breakfast was served. The room itself is comfortable and clean. There is a nice vibe to the place, and the hotel itself has a very charming shabby-chic decor.

If they put liquid soap instead of solid one, it would be better. And it would be better if they change the sheets and quilt cover because they were a bit old; there were some tears and dirt.

Its location was literally perfect; on the Nicolas Stairs which is famous. And it is just a few steps far away the Gouraud Street which has a lot of cafes, bars, and restaurants. The Hostel itself also has a good bar and restaurant. The best things about this hostel are its location and its atmosphere; it is cozy and cool. Also, its breakfast is very good. It is clean enough but the building and the equipment are quite old so sometimes you can think that it is not clean enough but it is not about cleanliness it is about the appearance of the equipment. The beds are comfortable. The night staff was very good but I can't say the same thing about the morning staff; they were a bit morose. Finally, if you are looking for new, modern, and super clean equipment and a place, this hostel is not for you. But if you are looking for an excellent location, cozy spirit, delicious breakfast, and nice people, it is the right place. If I'll come again to Beirut, it is obvious that I'll stay here again.

As in hostels can get noisy, its important to mitigate it by having good doors and windows...but I guess it is not possible in this case.. for lockers ypu need to have or buy your own lock key.

Staff were super nice and helpful. Breakfast wonderful! Location is also good, whole area has some nice caffes etc. They can call taxi for you for airport which was helpful.

Really sweet and helpful staff and a very nice location

Just important to know that you have to go through a fair amount of stairways to get to the place and also to your room. With that in mind, the rest is very good.

Nice place, great vibe, very good location. Breakfast is delicious. Great service.

The bathrooms in common for private rooms need much better cleaning, as well as the air conditioner in the room.

The lobby, the breakfast and the location were superb! Staff is extremely well attended!

The room was very basic, but a good value for money overall.

I only stayed at this place for a few hours, but I really liked the ambience and the staff were very helpful. Will definitely come back some other time.

The Grand Meshmosh is located in a lively and arty area of Beirut (Gemmayzeh), very close (even walking distance) from other relevant areas in the city: Mar Mikhail, Ashrafiye, downtown and Hamra, at least. On the rue Gouraud, one can find uncountable eating places and cafés, as well as nice little shops and art galleries. The hotel's atmosphere is very friendly, with a welcoming staff that would always be there to answer my questions regarding how to arrive to places, how much to pay for this and that, what to visit in the city, etc. Enjoying the delicious Lebanese breakfast in the hotel's patio with a view on the St. Nicolas stairs was one of the best moments in the day. My room, located in the annex building, was very quiet and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and good quality linen and towels were provided, which made my stay very pleasant. I would definitely reccommend the Grand Meshmosh hotel to anyone seeking for an affordable, non-luxurious but nice and clean place, with nice food and nice people.

Even though it is hotel it is rather like hostel. Equipment is a bit run down. Internet was a bit slow. Price seems a bit high (compared to european standards - compared to quality)

Great location, tasty breakfast

Stayed in October 2022

We stayed on the 3rd floor in the annex , there is no elevator meaning we had to carry up our 23kg suitcases on our own.

Fantastic location in a hip neighborhood full of bars & restaurants. Staff are really friendly, breakfast is nice and they have a bar that does great cocktails! Hotel is not modern but I feel like the vintage look is part of its charm. Good vibe and lots of expats.

Lack of oxygen during the power shut down period in a 6 beds dorm

General confort with shared bathrooms for example would rate "The Grand Meshmosh" slightly lower but Beyrouth is an expensive city.

Excellent, reliable taxi arrangements from and to the airport.

Although it was okay for me, I understand that not having elevators and going up the fourth floor it's not comfy for everyone. Also, not a big problem but the towel I was given had stains.

The service of the people, the breakfast was great. Very unique experience. The beds super comfortable. Really liked the area around it. For how the situation is in Beirut, it was a great place to stay.

It's an old building so there's no elevator which might be a problem for some people and it does require some upgrading and refresh but it's not too bad :)

Incredibly conveniently located cute hostel/hotel bang on in the centre of the action when it comes to going out and nightlife. The team is incredibly friendly and helpful and while there are bars around, you can also just sit in the property garden or indoors and enjoy drinks served from their bar. It has all the basic necessities and serves a great Lebanese breakfast.

If you pay 55 euros at least you expect shampoo

Basic but comfortable, good atmosphere, excellent breakfast, great location

Room was not very clean, there was dust and the previous occupant's hair everywhere on the floor. Bathroom was a little grotty and old. I was expecting more from the breakfast given how well rated it was. Breakfast was quite simple.

Great location. Buzzing bar and communal space. Nice and helpful staff.
