Room: great comfortable bed, nice shower. Aircon can be quite strong. Cleanliness is decent. Location: great location in Hamra, walkable distance to a long of places. Easy to anywhere further with taxi Staff are generally good and helpful The rooftop bar is amazing in terms and view and a place to relax. Only down side is it doesn't take card payment. The value of room is totally worth it
This definitely is not a 5-star hotel, and well below the standards one would expect of a luxury hotel. The hotel is in need of refurbishment - the lifts are tiny (and shudder), and the rooms - whilst reasonably sized - are worn, with stains on the carpet and the upholstery. The bathrooms are small and poky, with dated fixtures. About the only thing that made it upscale were the Lanvin toiletries. There's not even a coffee machine in the room - only instant coffee is available. During the four nights I stayed, I was offered a turndown service only once (the other 3 nights I was out, so I don't know why they didn't just come in and do the turndown?). So the rooms are very much of a low grade. The pool and gym are in the basement. The gym is small, with very dated machines - neither the treadmill nor the elliptical machine worked at all. The cleaning staff were friendly. I never saw the front desk staff except upon arrival and departure, as they are hidden by a big pillar and work behind a plastic screen - it's not friendly or inviting. The security guard was mostly hunched over his mobile phone. So you feel quite ignored as you come and go. The location, however, is great - so close to lots of lovely bars and restaurants, and in a really lovely part of town. All in all, a disappointing Sofitel experience - far more in line with staying in a Ibis. Very expensive for what I got. I wouldn't stay again. And as for all of the other 5 star reviews...you will note that they're all by one- or two-time contributors, so I really question the authenticity. When you find a reviewer who has more than two reviews to their name, you'll see they also gave the Sofitel a low grade.
Das Hotel liegt direkt am Meer, nur getrennt von der Corniche, der (stark befahrenen) Strandpromenade. Der Zugang zum Meer, der Beach Lounge mit den Pools und dem Restaurant erfolgt direkt durch einen Zugang unter der Straße. Sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Schöne Zimmer mit Balkon. Empfehlenswert sind die Zimmer zum Mittelmeer. Auch wenn der Geräuschpegel des Verkehrs auf der Promenade schon beachtlich ist. Bei geschlossener Balkontür ist dies aber kein Problem. Wie viele 5-Sterne-Hotels der Region ist auch das Riviera teilweise etwas renovierungsbedürftig. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Bewertungen ist das aber dem Aufenthalt nicht wirklich abträglich, sondern hat auch seinen Charme. Zimmer, Bad und Hotel waren sauber und gut eingerichtet. Insgesamt jederzeit einen Aufenthalt wert.
Situated in the heart of Gemmayze, just a stone's throw from Mkhail, Beit Toureef offers travelers an authentic taste of Beirut. The staff's hospitality is commendable, with Sassine's heartfelt welcome and Youmna's consistent assistance making a notable difference. They go the extra mile, keen to provide guidance on exploring Lebanon to enhance your visit. The rooms promise comfort, and mornings are made special with a delightful Lebanese breakfast on the rooftop. For those seeking an immersive Beirut stay, Beit Toureef is a top recommendation!

I would recommend the hotel to anyone who is traveling to lebanon especially if he is going to be in achrafiyeh. Out experience with Citea was just great . We both want to thank them for everything .
