A very good location with a nice view. I could see sea and ships from my room window. A VERY VERY CLEAN environment. Nice staff. They performed my requests promptly. The bathroom is also very nice and clean. I just did not like the shower curtain. I feel unclean around the shower curtains. Do they really clean and change after... More

if you take a room with a view at the St. George and the bay it is great. Noisy location. Room not too big. Bathroom very simple. All over not a 4* - but more a 3* Breakfast not too great, little choice, missed some veggies. Staff not too attentive.

Stayed there last year, rumors are this hotel is owned by the Lebanese army, with such a great location this hotel could be one of the best, compare it to the Phoenicia across the street and in such a terrible shape this hotel should only get 1 star. To be honest this star and just the poor rating do not... More

My partner had booked this hotel without checking on any forum and when I read the negative reviews on here, I got a little scarred... However it was a pretty good stay. The hotel's location is great and you have a nice seaview (it's close to Solidere), and if you bother to walk the Place des Martyrs as well as... More

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights. It's located not far from downtown. The double room was large and clean. Breakfast was quite good with a not large selection of meal. Staff at the reception was friendly and helpful

This must have been a great hotel 20 years ago, but it seems the owners don't want to invest a penny on it and still think they can charge a premium. The breakfast was horrible, lowest quality possible, and no variety, the swimming pool had no water for years, the carpet in the room was burnt and stained, Wifi cost... More

The hotel is really nice. Well decorated and clean. The staff is very helpful. The rooms are nice. The breakfast buffet was nice but it could have more things. In any case is a value for money. Very near the marina were there are plenty of restaurants and on foot you can reach the downtown area in about 15 minutes.

The hotel is situated close to the marina off a very busy main road that is exceptionally difficult and hazardous to cross. There are no pedestrian crossings and driving standards are poor.
