Bayview Hotel Beirut

Very friendly and serviceminded staff. All together a very nice place with the obvious unobstructed view to the mediterranean.

This hotel is in one of the nicest location and this wasn't the first time we use it. It is a bit aged since our last stay, but the amenities are still good and clean. Staff also are very helpful and accommodating. The only thing I did not like was a room service charge for cleaning, if what you pay for a room doesn't include bed making and a clean up, what is it for then? Mind you we only asked for toilet rolls top up not a clean up.

One of the most disappointing experiences: We had booked a honeymoon suite a month in advance, but when we arrived, there were two separate beds in the room. Reason: hotel is fully booked!! The honeymoon package promised flowers in the room, but we found dried flowers on the bed, which made it uncomfortable to sleep. The orange juice was not fresh, and the cake was far from being good quality. Getting toothpaste was a constant struggle as it was frequently out of stock, and first time we did get it, it was dry. The air conditioning in the room was not working. The room's carpet was not properly cleaned. Some of the staff were unfriendly. There were frequent power outages during the day and night. When the electricity came back on, the room lights would turn on, forcing us to wake up to turn them off. Surprisingly, the hotel didn't have a generator like other hotels. TV channels would go off for couple hours, twice a day. The restaurant doubled as a smoking area, leaving non-smokers with no choice but to sit outside on uncomfortable bar chairs. Even if there were available tables outside, we needed special permission, and the waiter would continually remind us of their "kindness" in allowing us to sit there. Coffee during breakfast would mysteriously disappear with the explanation of being "out of stock," catching us by surprise with no prior notice. The only redeeming quality was the view!

- location is excellent BUT: - rooms are not very clean - electricity and TV channels goes on and off many times during the day - some staff members are not friendly - coffee is out of stock at 9 am - we booked the honeymoon package but they gave us a room with two beds + cake and juice are not fresh at all - weak wifi - little variety in the breakfast - people can smoke inside the restaurant where food is displayed - we booked a suite but couldn’t have toothpaste/toothbrush

It was a family vacation for 5 days. We asked for 2 connected rooms but that was not possible. Not even on the same floor. The rooms were in very bad condition. The AC was not functioning on one of the rooms. The internet was not working for the first 2 days and then it was working in a very interrupted manner. There was a disco place accross the street which was producing extremely loud music till 2 am and sleeping was not possible till they stop. The towels were grey not white, disgusting to use. The electrical sockets in the room were not holding the charger plugs of our phones. On the other hand the staff were all very friendly and nice but the property doesn't really deserve even half of what we paid. It was really a very bad experience regarding the accommodation.

This hotel is overrated for the price there are much nicer hotels. Location and view is the only asset. I requested a king bed and I & my wife had to spend 7 nights in a twin bed room although we requested the reception to solve this issue daily but in vain. The TV stops for 3 hours a day and the room did not offer the usual coffee/ tea/ sugar as other cheaper hotels. The balcony was sharing with 4 other rooms so no privacy. Really it was a disappointing stay!!!

the location of the hotel is great close to the sea and Zaituneh Bay and Alhamra shopping center, the staff are very pleasant.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed, shout-out to the staff, location is amazing. Breakfast is really good with a fab view. Highly recommended
