309 酒店 - 貝魯特

Highly recommended

The location is spectacular, right in between the AUB campus and Hamra Main Street. The hotel is is in great condition and toom 201 was impeccable. The view from the room was horrible though, however the rooftop compensated for it by giving you a panoramic view of the Mediterranean and the rest of Beirut. The juice bar downstairs had one of the best mint lemonades.

The hotel was really clean and well located in the centre of the city. There are a lot of restaurants and shops next to it. The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful.

Nice hotel in a nice area recomend it for travelers

This was a surreal experience for us as frequent travellers. We were looking forward to our stay as the description was good and the photos looked great. On arrival, the lobby looked great but then you get to reception and that's where it starts to go downhill. The chap at the reception insisted on charging us an additional $11 per night for my daughter whom we've included in the booking when we were searching for a hotel and when we made the booking. When I Informed them that we have declared our daughter's correct age which was 14 and we have booked a suite not a standard room, the hotel sent a message back with my daughter's birthday (in case I forgot!) reminding me that she would be 15 in a month time! The room was OK for a couple but for a supposed suite it was cramped and what was disappointing is that apparently this hotel has a policy of leaving water, tea and coffee only on the first day, so you'll have to go without your morning coffee if you are staying longer. In addition, the window in the room was covered with tiny insects that we thought came from the straw chairs in the room. Needless to stay, we will never go back to this hotel.
