Ideal location at one end of Hamra. Loads of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The hotel arranged a car to pick us up from the airport which was very handy. Breakfast was included and was very good. I would definitely use again.

The Cavalier is gradually being renovated and I was upgraded to a deluxe room for my ten day stay. The room was spacious with all the amenities you would expect. The bathroom was spacious, with a walk in shower and plenty of bench space by the washbasin. It was easy to do laundry and hang it in the shower to dry. The bathroom even had a bidet. There was a large automatic blind which went up and down at the touch of a button to hide the abandoned building opposite. There was a balcony with two chairs but the view was not inviting. The breakfast buffet was huge and there was free computer use for guests. The staff were extremely helpful with directions and suggestions. The location was excellent just two doors down from bustling Hamra St and I rarely heard any noise, except for a drunken argument outside a bar opposite the hotel on my last night. You can't blame the hotel for this. They are gradually renovating the rooms floor by floor. I was on the third floor. When they finish renovating the public areas, this well - located hotel will be restored to its former glory. An added bonus is because it is a Beirut landmark, every taxi driver knows where it is.

Clean comfortable,and cooperative disciplined staff,you can go and enjoy many restaurant ,caffee nearby hotel in the famous Hamra area. It is less than half an hour from airport.they have link with tourist agency Khayal which has daily clear well organized journeys start from 7:45am till 8pm.it is 10 min by car from solidare area where you can enjoy shopping .

Hotel staff are helpful. Room is clean and comfortable. The location is nice if you want to stay in Hamra. This is not a luxury hotel so do not come with this mindset. This is a good value hotel than can work for business or pleasure if you don't need to stay in a resort.
