We had two nights here for the first part of a Lebanon trip. We wanted a nice hotel in a good location and thats exactly what you get. A good standard and a great location for shops, bars and restaurants. Its a little expensive compared to five star hotels in other cities but that seems more related to the accomodation... More

The hotel is very close to the famous Al Hamra shopping district and the American University of Beirut. Several banking, educational, medical and business interests are in the neighbourhood. Middle East Airlines head offices are just next door. Welcome and check-in process is relatively quick and professional. Rooms are clean but not wide enough. Only recently internet services were provided... More

The Gefinor is not a 5-star rating worth, maybe 3 star is more appropriate for the location, and the food. The breakfast buffet is very ordinary. For about $350 a night I was expecting much more. It is close to the Hamra area where you find good eateries such as BarBar for a taste of true Lebanese food. Many taxi... More

A hotel where you can go walking to hamra, bliss, downtown. Overlooking. University campus and the sea. Decent prices for such quality and this is a place where I'll invite friends to. The lunch bufee is a good choice if you have none. The 3 minutes walk pasta di casa cozy resto is also a good choice. More

Nice hotel, located in Hamra close to the university AUB. Food is good quality. I have stayed in many hotels in Beirut and it rates favourably with most. More

I stayed for three nights in November as a base for exploring the city. The location is great and it's easy to walk from the hotel to the historic centre, the Corniche and the Hamra district. The most impressive thing about this hotel was the staff - they provided a genuine welcome at reception, very helpful housekeeping (including offering to... More

I spent over an hour there every morning for a week. The staff is very nice and helpful, and they leave you a copy of the... More
