Although I had a written confirmation of being charged 3 nights only (I had check-in late at night and check-out in the evening), I was requested on check-out to pay 4 full nights. Refused to read the correspondence referring to bad eyes. Combined with the statements that I should be grateful not for paying the rack rate, the taxes and for breakfast. Claimed making everything this "from her heart". Offered free fresh orange juice to make it uncomfortable to argue.

Made a round figure 100 USD out of 95 USD creating a 20 USD overcharge for 4 nights.

Hotel not maintained (the staff is only the owner Madam Nadya and 2 Ethiopian girls): in shelves and in the wardrobe there is a lot of rubbish of different character (candles, magazines, broken amenities, just rubbish). Electrical amenities in disaster: plugs not working and tending to fall from the walls (alternatively, to go inside when you try to insert something), half of the lighting lamps lacking. Table sheets dirty. Bed sheets and towels look very used. Doors very thin. In the shower, the water went only from several wholes (the others were closed presumably by dirt due to lack of maintenance) directed to nearly opposite directions.

There seems to have been no renovation for the 30 years the hotel exists.

No restaurant. No telephone in the room, to say nothing about other amenities.

Location: in the suburbs of Tripoli. Some locals claim this is even not Tripoli but Haykalieh. Taxi anyway needed.

Though, still the hotel is very beautiful. The owner Madam Nadya is very nice when not making fraud. Reservations confirmed very quickly (nevertheless, these confirmations may fail to mean anything).

I doubt there is any alternative in Tripoli.

A villa with 10 rooms overseen by a fascinating lady who designed the house.
Each room is decorated in a unique style and populate with antiques collected over her lifetime.
We stayed here for a night listening to her amazing stories. An excellent and unique hotel.
Note: The other hotels in Tripoli are considerably inferior to this one.
