Beautiful new property right near some of the best bars and restaurants.
I had a beautiful stay for 3 nights. The best was the breakfast with their special bread Tanourine. Just excellent. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Will comeback surely :-)
The room was super cute and clean, service excellent from the moment I booked someone was in touch to make sure I had all the info needed for a smooth check in and stay. And the breakfast was delicious. In an amazing and vibrant neighbourhood, highly recommended!!
Exceptional place with the Authentic flavour of Beirut with super friendly staff. Rooms are unique and clean with a romantic touch for couples.Definitely would love to visit again.
Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Beirut. The manager / owner, Sas, was extremely accommodating and friendly, as were all the other staff. I highly recommend this place!
Beit Toureef is an outstanding guesthouse right in the heart of cool and hip Gemmayze.
It offers a perfect location from which to explore Beirut.
The house has been immaculately restored and the rooms, bright, clean and thoughtfully laid out, are a delight to stay in.
The staff are attentive, friendly and work hard to ensure a pleasant stay is had.
Highly recommended.
This is a small luxury hotel. We stayed at their newly added suite of 5 rooms at their second property 1 minute away (walking). The hotel is beautiful and comfortable, and the staff is very attentive. Breakfast is included in the room price, and it is very delicious. The food is all brought in directly from farms, and you can tell from the richer taste of the eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, labne, etc. They use the tannour to make their bread and manakeesh, and the taste is top-notch. The owner approached us at breakfast to ensure that everything was done to our satisfaction and to describe his "project". I would say that he has succeeded admirably. We will definitely stay there on our next visit to Beirut. The street the hotel is on has many restaurants and pubs, and we tried a couple of them (both were very good). It is not far from ABC Achrafieh, a very classy mall within 15 minutes walking. Overall, a terrific experience.
I had a lovely stay. Sas was an incredible host with effortless communication and a kind staff. He helped me with taxi from and to the airport and was even waiting for me on the stairs at 3:30am in the middle of the night to welcome me and show me around. I will definitely be back. Thank you, Sas!
Cannot say enough good things about Beit Toureef! What a beautiful experience. Sass and his staff are exceptionally kind, attentive, and so passionate about this guest house project that gives back to the community. We also loved the rooftop patio and the bartender, Shawki. Beautiful drinks, and food!! Will absolutely recommend to all my friends who visit Beirut, and will definitely be back.
Very helpful staff. They go out of their way to assist you. The owner/manager physically walked to the nearby museum to check the opening times to make sure they were correct.
Beit Toureef is more than just a guest house. This gem offers a charming and authentic experience that truly immerses you in Lebanese village traditions. During my stay, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sassine, the amazing founder whose visionary concept brings the essence of Lebanon to the heart of Beirut. The atmosphere at Beit Toureef is delightful, the staff is friendly and attentive, the rooms are cozy, and the location, nestled between Gemmayze and Mar Mikhael, is perfect. And let's not forget the well-stocked pantry filled with Lebanese traditional products, adding an extra layer of local charm to the experience. A truly unique and memorable stay!
excellent hotel, one of the best experiences ever!
Best hotel in Beirut, and one of the best hotel experiences ever! :)
pros: -very central location next to all the buzzing life with cafes restaurants and bars;
-excellent quality of shampoo and conditioner and all products which are organic and made in lebanon, promoting villagers' products
-delicious food and breakfast with events on the rooftop sometimes like singing traditional lebanese songs
-owner and staff very welcoming and available for all requests and were always so kind and helpful. I will not forget their kindness: I was sick at the end of our trip and they wrote to me after we had checked out to make sure I was okay, shows how much they care about their clients and how human they are!
-bed was very big and comfortable
-running bath was amazing and so relaxing
cons: room a bit small if you have more than 2 small suitcases since there is no wardrobe, but it was completely fine.
thank you for this amazing stay, we will be back for sure!
From the moment I started my journey, the staff were on point. Before even arriving, they checked in to make sure I was on track. Sassine greeted me warmly when I got there and showed me around. Youmna was a star, always ready to assist and making sure I had everything I needed.
One thing that really stood out was how the staff were keen to help with my plans in Lebanon. They often asked if I needed suggestions or assistance with anything I wanted to do or see, making my trip even more memorable.
The room? Super comfy. And the morning? It started perfectly with a delicious Lebanese breakfast on the rooftop.
All in all, if you're thinking of a trip to Beirut, Beit Toureef is a top choice. Great people, a comfy stay, tasty food, and thoughtful assistance with your travel plans.
Felt right at home from the very first moment I stepped into Beit Toureef. That feeling rung through till the end of my stay. I was bummed that I had only booked a one night stay. Beit Toureef is beyond just a lodging or hospitality venture, the business helps support local communities and villages throughout Lebanon. The room was sparkling clean, cozy and comfortable. The staff members were warm and courteous. Special mention to Doha & Kalsa. After checking out, I needed to store my belongings. They were happy to accommodate me, and even offered me freshly pressed juice as I waited. They take Lebanese hospitality to another level. Thank you Sassine for the great conversation. You are doing amazing work here, keep at it! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Beirut; which is sooner than I had expected!😊
The hotel is absolutely not worth the price. Perhaps it's just the location, plus there's no parking and it's in the middle of the city. The owner is also incredibly rude and insincere. I booked at midnight for the same night, but the website mistakenly booked it for the next day. I called the owner, who asked me for $80 more for another available room. I then tried to make up for it with EXPEDIA the next day, but EXPEDIA's customer service team told me the owner wouldn't refund the mistaken payment. Thank you so much; from the photos, I can see it was a pleasure not to have been your guest.
Such a great place! Feels like home. One of the best places I’ve stayed at in beirut. The host is very welcoming, the rooms are super clean and the concept is just great :) definitely recommended
I am so pleased I booked this accommodation. (1) The staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help guests (2) The location is ideal - walking distance to bars and restuarnts in a lovely part of Beirut (3) The room is beautifully furnished and clean. I will definitively stay at Beit Toureff next time I visit Lebanon
