I stayed at Talal Hotel for two nights in a single private room in order to take a German language exam at Goethe Institut and it was like the best deal I could get in Beirut ! Great location (2 mins walk to the Institute and Beirut downtown) + a very very clean room (much better than I expected) with... More

Bejrut is a very expensive city, but this hostel lets You save a couple of pounds. It was cheaper for us to stay here and make daily trips to Tyre/Sidon. The rooms are cleaned daily, the guys at the receptions are very friendly and helpful. The street outside might be a bit noisy, so check it before choosing the room.... More

Beirut is not the cheapest city to visit, but Talals made it so good value, not just in terms or room prices, but the rooms were air conditioned,(godsend in times of a Lebanese Summer) and hot water was available too! The kitchen is a good place to do self catering and Gemmayzeh is good for food and clubbing options. Best... More

My friend and me have slept five nights in Talal Hotel. The decoration is overlooked but the rooms are definitely clean. The service is very good, people here are very helpful and smily. The hotel is located along a kind of highway which leads to the very Center (just few minutes away by a "service car", and more than ten... More

My girlfriends and I stayed at Talal Hotel for 3 nights. Over this time, we really felt like Talal's was our home away from home. The staff were incredibly accommodating, providing us with everything we needed and going the extra mile for us. (One of them fixed my heel when it broke, and the manager helped me to locate my...

We have rarely seen such a cute and nice hostel. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. If one turns with a request or question to the staff, they always try to make everything possible. We have witnessed something so rare in this form worldwide. The standard of the rooms is the price reasonable. The location between the port, the... More

This is a no-frills basic hostel. We were in a private double which had a little ensuite. The shower was good and the quality of the towels was excellent. The beds are extremely firm and our room was really noisy - but Beirut is noisy! However, if you are on a tight budget this would be perfect - the staff... More

I came to Beirut in August 2012 to study. My plan was to spend a few days at Talal and then rent a flat. But now it is March 2013 and since then I'm at Talal; live here. There's nothing more to say... Just 5 minutes to Gemmayzeh, 5 minutes to Downtown, 3 minutes to Charles Helou bus station (where... More
