THE GEM BOUTIQUE HOTEL

The hotel is very clean with great ammenities and nice balcony that overlooks a lively street and a peek at the waters on the right. There is so much to do on our street alone with endless restaurants, cafes and bars. They even offered a full snack and beverage bar daily and free breakfast. We couldn't take advantage as we have booked a private tours for the 3 days that included breakfast. The owner was very accommodating and to have breakfast prepared for us before their normal breakfast time! As mentioned, we booked a private customized tour to go to the places that we've wanted to visit in Lebanon with the recommendation of the hotel owner. We loved the tour and our guide, Yaya. He was more than accommodating and even took us to more places than we agreed upon and took us to his favorite local spots. Overall, our visit was amazing and the hospitality of the Lebanese was wonderful. We would definitely recommend to our friends ad family.

Can't think of one!

The place just gives you warm vibes the moment you enter the building with the artistic vintage lift till you reach the place and the rooms ♥️ The view from all rooms is lovely, and the location is literally walking distance to everywhere Nadim the owner is such a decent and funny guy, actually everyone on the reception area his.

Bathrooms are tiny tho 😂 but super clean

Location, style, decor, large rooms and staff

The place is amazingly well maintained specially given how bad the neighborhood was hit during the port's blast few yearss ago. The staff are amazingly polite, kind and welcoming. We also appreciated their discretion in a country where everyone tends to ask everyone "Where do you come from?" The neighborhood is a partying one so make sure you know what you're doing because the hotel cannot be held responsible for the nightlife.

I just wish there was a hairdryer in the rooms. I am pretty sure had we demanded one, the staff would have provided though!

This property is a Gem, like the name implies! It was a great pleasure staying at that beautiful boutique hotel for over 2 weeks. This property offers all amenities for superior comfort with every detail in a very clean setting. Management and staff tended carefully to every request and provided us assistance for what we needed from outside the hotel. They were eager to help and at all times. The site is a gem by itself. It is located in a historic neighborhood that has been largely preserved with its period architecture and urban design. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and shops around that make the experience even more pleasurable. We would for sure stay at The Gem again every time we go back to Beirut/Lebanon for visits.

There is nothing we did not like at this property!

Clean tidy and functional. Plenty of space in bedroom and sitting area.

Tiny bathroom toilet area. Be prepared to be asked to pay USD CASH.

Very good hotel, slightly on pricier side also checkouts were flexible they did give extra time. Just if they introduce a minibar and put dental/vanity kits in the bathroom more helpful.
