beyond expectation”

I wasn't sure what to expect when I read the comments online. I was pleasantly surprised that the hotel takes my feedback very seriously when I asked them about the weak wifi signal in the room by offering various options. They also helped arranged a PCR test that was easy in execution. Overall I am happy to have chosen Gems Hotel and would be glad to return the next time I visit Beirut.

The manager needs to be around ”

Despite the situation in Lebanon, de hotel works well. However, there are things that should’ never happen in a hotel that happen in there: a staff open my door while I was changing, there was a room that was been remodelares I think with workers making bout around 1 am and leaving the windows open so that the door which did not had a lock was slamming all the night I had to go and close the windows myself because the reception was not sure what to do

So-so Hotel”

I stayed at Gems Hotel for 7 days. The location is in the center of Hamra which is very accessible to restaurants, shops, convenient stores and pubs. The hotel facilities are okay. The only downside is that the basic amenities are to be requested when it should be there the moment you get in (like vanity kit, hair dryer, slippers). The room where I stayed has a huge bathroom, almost the same size as the room...but there were minor defects such as the curtain rod wasn't mounted well so it kept on falling down, shampoo/body wash weren't refilled. The bed was huge BUT it was because 2 double beds were combined to make it look like a king bed.
