Renovation needed urgently!
The owner told me they didn't start the renovation because of the country's social and political situation, but as far as I know, protests started on Oct. 17th, so I'm wondering what it happened between June and October that forced them to postpone the advertised renovation.
Something customers should also know is that this hotel will rip you off if you pay in Lebanese pounds, because they apply an exorbitant, shameful exchange rate of 1$=1.900 LL.
As for the room, I already said that everything is old and very tired: the furniture, the doors, the fitted carpet, the fridge, the TV, the bathroom's mirror, the shower curtain (it had black mold), the bathroom's tiles (they had damp stains), the water tap handles (they were full of calcium) and etc. By the way, it is also true that the water from the sink has a salty taste.
In regards to common areas like the reception, the stairs and the corridors, they look old and tired as well (and the corridors reek of cigarettes).
Is there then anything positive about this hotel?
The answer is yes: the location, which is very good, as Hamra is a pleasant, modern district, it has good dining options (we loved "King Fries - Malik al batata", in Hamra Street) and you can still walk from here to Pigeon Rocks, the Corniche, Zaitunay Bay and the City Center.
The hotel's wifi is ok, the basic Lebanese breakfast is still ok, the staff is neither good nor bad (they just obey orders), there is hot water, and the price is the cheapest in the area.

It's sometimes painful to read some what I feel are UNFAIR reviews.
Thank you for taking the time leaving your thoughts to others, and yes please note, that no one is ripping off no one.. At the time when your review was written, yes indeed 1 usd = 2000 LL..
nowadays, 1 usd = 2500/2600!!
You are mentionning the banks.. yes indeed the banks!!!! We talk about banks in a normal country not going through the most terrible crisis he's ever had, not knowing when and if ones see back their deposits in banks in the same value as when they were deposited years ago.
AS for the renovation, as one can expect, some delays happen sometimes.. and that does not mean that we do not speak the truth, trying to fool our customers, because this is not part of our ethics.. but as per today I can assure you that already 40% of the property is under heavy renovation and repair to the better..
And just a small note "en passant".. the foolish way is to renovate under drastic economical conditions , and to coronate this the COVID-19 epidemy.. yes indeed, this property will shine again in new minimalistic contemporary rooms and bathrooms..
Having said so, that does not mean that it's so degraded the way you are mentionning it.. It's simply old, at the time being, and very basic, with very very low rates in the whole of Lebanon.. we're talking an average of USD 24.00 per night for 2.
Thank you again for all your comments, and looking forward to receiving you among us one day in the future when all this will end..
cordially,
Myrna Najjar Serhal
