Faraya Chalets

"Nice"

"It’s important to know whether a hotel has a staff on the premises. I booked my stay via Hotels.com. First, I received a confusing message about my credit card being declined & my reservation being canceled. I called the number for clarification & I was told the message was errant. I then received the information regarding the passcodes for the front door & the door to my room. I had to wait in a cafe next door because it’s not possible to check in early at an automated hotel. I don’t recall being informed that this hotel is actually an automated human storage facility. But the neighborhood was good at least before the war."

"Awesome stay"

"Here’s an honest review: Location 5/5 — Perfectly located in the coolest neighborhood of Beirut Amenities 4/5 - It’s a cute, heritage building with an external staircase that’s a little tricky when it rains, but charming AF when it’s a beautiful day out. The “lobby” is charming but feels less of a lounging place, and more like a cafeteria. The shower situation is cute in the corner, but not very practical as water ends up pooling in the room after a reasonable shower. Not a huge deal, but not perfect. Bed 5/5 — Very comfortable king size. Perfect to sleep in after a long day (and my days have been LONG AF!). Noise 3/5 — Location being what it is, you will hear the neighbourhood (street cars, occasional construction bangs, loud church bells- not the charming kind of church bells). It did bother me a few morning not gonna lie. Staff 5/5 - Amazing hospitality. No negative comments. Super responsive. Kind. Smiling. All good! Room 3.5/5 - It’s a cute concept: A micro hotel in a heritage building… so it is what it is. I really like the high ceilings (Heritage building). I didn’t like that there wasn’t much room to unpack properly. A corner closet (or an “armoire” if you want to stay true to form) would’ve been great. Another thing I really didn’t like is the lack of ventilation in the room. How much hours raise the humidity and unless you’re open the windows, books and passports would end up wrinkled. Cost 5/5 — A lot of value for the money. Definitely a great find."

"Great service"

"The staff are super helpful! Specious and clean suits. I was here off seasons I didn't get to enjoy the rooftop pool. Highly recommended. "

"Very well appointed hotel, with excellent staff service, in an excellent location. "
