The Gefinor Rotana Hotel is very well located in Beirut, close to the American University of Beirut and an easy walk to the downtown area. It is also very near to Hamra, with all of its shopping, restaurants, and bars. The staff of the hotel were terrific -- very friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and quiet, and our... More

I stayed 3 nights at GF, which was pleasant and very satisfactory. Rooms on the 14th floor, club level is spacious and it has its own club lounge. Free evening snacks and drinks between 6pm and 8pm has been a bonus indeed. After a tiring day returning hotel and finding something to eat or drink looking at the sea from... More

I stayed for two nights at this hotel, and I have no complaints whatsoever. The facilities are great, so is the location. The staff was warm, courteous and very prompt with service. the rooftop pool and gym offer a fantastic view , especially at night.

My room had a classical decor, was spacious, silent and clean, with a nice sea-view. Kettle available for coffee/tea, 2 complimentary bottles of water per day. Bath amenities by L’Occitane are great. Breakfast (included in my... More

Average…Average…Average. 20mins from the Airport, walkable distance to Downtown and outdated façade, with just the usual décor in house. All I remember about the hotel is just extra costly charge for Wi-Fi and 24USD for breakfast, so I just ordered omelette to my room. Nice view is from the pool deck on the roof and gym looks nice too. As... More

Stayed here for weekend and were really pleased with the location - easy walk to Hard Rock Cafe/Zaitunay Bay on Corniche but also close to Hamra in the other direction. Hotel itself was fine, a bit expensive for what it is. Nice but small terrace on roof with horizon pool, great views to the Mediterranean. We had room next to... More

It is fine I guess, nothing stands out as bad (a few slight annoyances but one has those almost anywhere). Trouble is nothing stands out as great, or even good, either. Staff are willing but uninformed often and initial requests for a recommendation for a restaurant etc were met with blank expressions. It has a pleasant outlook from the roof... More
