Breakfast Delight

During my stay, I absolutely loved the breakfast offered at the hotel. It was served in a lovely common area, and I enjoyed a delicious Lebanese breakfast with a great variety of savory and sweet options. The fresh fruits and vegetables on the spread were a good way to start my day. The atmosphere while having breakfast was vibrant and set a positive tone for my adventures ahead. I can't say enough how satisfying the breakfast was!

Comfortable Accommodations

I was fortunate enough to stay in a private room with a bath during my visit. The room was spacious, light, and airy, with a fantastic bathroom that had a wonderful shower. The comfort of the bed was really good, and I loved having a beautiful balcony that overlooked the charming stairs. The attention to detail in the room furnishings made my stay very pleasant and added to the overall experience of the hotel.

Pristine Facilities

The shared bathroom facilities were impressively clean and well-maintained during my stay. There were enough showers and toilets for everyone, making it convenient without any waiting. I particularly appreciated the free shower gel and shampoo provided, which added a nice touch. It felt like a mini spa experience every time I used them!

Great Social Vibe

The common areas of the hotel created a lively and engaging atmosphere where I could easily connect with other travelers. There’s a cozy café/bar where guests can hang out and socialize. I loved the chill vibe, and it was the perfect spot to relax with a cold drink after exploring the city. The communal feel really enhanced the entire experience, making it easy to meet new friends and enjoy my time.

My stay at the Grand Meshmosh Hotel was a delightful experience filled with friendly interactions and a vibrant atmosphere. The staff made everything effortless, from organizing tours to providing helpful local tips. Breakfast was a highlight, offering a delicious mezze buffet, but I wish there were a few more options. The only downside was some noise from the area, but the overall value is fantastic.

I had a lovely time at this hotel tucked away in Gemmayzeh. The standout features were the warm and inviting staff, who made me feel at home from the moment I arrived, and the overall cleanliness which truly impressed me. The atmosphere is vibrant, allowing mingling among guests and locals, but the lack of an elevator could be a hassle for some. Nonetheless, I can't wait to return!
