The ambience

Stayed in May 2024

Wifi was terrible in the rooms. Even terrible remains good compared to this. There was no connection in the rooms. It can be fixed easily I guess.

Breakfast was amazing. It was quite filling and delicious. Rooms and baths were okay too. If you want to use bar, it is ready at all time. And of course location was amazing. It is located in a good part of Beirut and everywhere is within 20-30 minutes walking distance.

The breakfast was delicious and enough The most convenient thing is that the location is very near to center

Nothing. I love this hotel!

Amazing location in the heart of Gemmayze. Awesome breakfast and a great bar. Super friendly staff too! I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Beirut.

The bathroom segregation - there isn't enough sound proofing to sleep through the noise of a shared bathroom usage in one of the women's dorms. Without AC it can be quite hot - which is can't help with the intermittent power supply. When I checked in some one came in to put on bug spray but didn't actually ask me to leave the room or cover my luggage- was just a bit odd.

The breakfast is exceptional - like truly one of the best, especially for a hostel. Staff were very polite and helpful. Location was great.

Everything was good. Highly recommended

Brilliant breakfast, excellent location, bathroom shared between two rooms was fine. The staff were helpful and friendly. Excellent value for money

There is nothing negative to say about this combined Hostel/Hotel. It offers a totally unique and very comfortable stay

The area the hotel is in is extremely good - it’s in the art district. The hotel room I had - the Penthouse on the top floor was great, the mattress was firm, the area was quiet and I had a good nights sleep. Food & drinks served in the ground floor restaurant/on the terrace was of a high standard & the hotel staff were amazing - nothing is too much trouble for them

The absence of an elevator, which could be a challenge if your room is located above the first floor. However, this is somewhat understandable considering the hotel's size and location. Also, for future guests booking dorm beds, I'd recommend requesting lower bunks in your booking, as the upper bunks can be quite high and somewhat difficult to access.

During my stay at The Grand Meshmosh Hotel, several aspects stood out. The reception staff's willingness to resolve a booking issue with a discounted room upgrade was a customer-focused highlight. The hotel's central location near downtown Beirut and Mar Mikhael is a significant advantage for exploring the city. The hotel's bohemian ambience added to the overall experience provided excellent value for the price.

Power cuts...but this is Beruit

Full of varied and interesting people. Great advice on excursions, places to eat, things to do etc. Right in heart of Gemmayze so can walk to restaurants/cafes/bars easily. Freindly pacae and nice to hang our in Hotel bar/coffee shops rest.

Shared bathroom/toilets could be cleaner, but perhaps i visited at the wrong time

I literally only stayed in this hostel for a few hours transiting through Beirut for a few hours late at night. As dorm rooms go they were perfectly clear, electrical output sockets at each bed space and towel provided on check-in. The hostel include breakfast and it was the best hostel breakfast i have encountered in over 20 years of travelling. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Not a lot of privacy in the bathroom as the glass in the shower is not entirely see through but, you can still see the silhouete of the person. I reckon an actual door with a lock would offer more privacy.

Second time I stayed here and it was just as good. Breakfast is varied and tasty. Staff is friendly. Location is quite central.

The hotel provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The simplicity and coziness of the room were perfect for a comfortable stay. And the breakfast was a delightful surprise, with the most delicious authentic food. Plus, the hotel's great location made it convenient for exploring the area. Highly recommend!

Wifi was a bit choppy at times. Also, if you have heavy luggage, be aware that you'll have to carry it upstairs as there is no lift.

I enjoyed everything. Check in was easy and simple. Breakfast was good and diverse. Room and bathroom were both clean. It wasn't noisy in the evening. Staff was very friendly and helped me out when I had to deal with someone trying to hack into my phone. Good location with plenty of bars and restaurants in the area.

Location and breakfast

The door at the entrance is completely locked if the power goes out, which can happen quite regularly in Beirut these days. But it was not a big issue as I put an overall 7/10 which means it was good stay. I would recommend it !

Great food. Smiley and open staff, always ready to help and accomdate our needs. I could strike great conversations with them. Also there were enough soap of good quality.

lockers are of mediocre quality, showers need some repairs

breakfast was superb, staff are very helpful, location is great, within walking distance to inter-city bus station and loads of restaurants.

The stairs can be challenging with a big suitcase.

The staff is nice and helpful. They arranged for us to check-in in the middle of the night. The location is ideal, in a safe and trendy area. The breakfast is really good and served in a great area where you can chill with a nice drink in the evening too. You can meet a lot of very interesting backpackers from all around the world.

Within a walking distance to main bus station (connexion). Delicious Lebanese breakfast buffet. Very nice seating areas, indoors and outdoors. Walking distance to wide range of restaurants and pubs. Super nice staff.

The power went out frequently my last night which was a real problem because I was dependent on the wifi to communicate with my cab to the airport and the door locks are electronic. Also the air conditioner beeped every time it turned off and on. The room was tiny (I had to rotate the bed so I could comfortably sit in the chair at the desk), extremely basic, didn't have a place to put my clothes (dresser/shelves) or even an outlet next to the "desk." The wifi was not very reliable/strong even when the power was on.

Staff was friendly, the air conditioner in the room was very effective and the room was fairly quiet, fabulous location, good breakfast and overall fun vibe--international hostel with a strong local flavor (I hear many Lebanese go to the restaurant/bar).
