The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque', or Blue Mosque, is a Sunni mosque located in downtown Beirut, Lebanon.  Construction on the Mosque began in 2002 and was completed in 2008. The mosque is built on the site of a 19th century prayer corner.  Previous mosques had been built on the site but had stopped operating after the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990). The mosque is one of the dominant features of the Beirut skyline

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
The hotel is well located and close to serviced areas. The rooms are spacious but require a face lift and some further amenities like a coffee machine. The mattress are very soft and feel consumed. Aside from that, the breakfast and facilities are very good and staff is friendly.
