Pros:

كانت إقامتي في فندق روتانا بيروت تجربة رائعة وممتعة بكل المقاييس! ❤️

أكثر ما ميّز إقامتي هو طاقم العمل الرائع، فجميع الموظفين دون استثناء يتمتعون بالود واللطف وحسن التعامل، وكانوا في غاية التعاون والاهتمام، مع سرعة الاستجابة لأي طلب.

كما أن الإفطار كان لذيذاً ومتنوعاً، وقائمة الطعام مميزة جداً.

شعرت بالراحة والترحيب طوال فترة إقامتي، وبكل تأكيد سيكون هذا الفندق خياري الأول في كل زيارة قادمة إلى بيروت.

شكراً من القلب لجميع الموظفين على حسن الضيافة والخدمة الراقية. أنصح بالإقامة فيه بشدة! ❤️

Cons:

I had an absolutely wonderful and memorable stay at Rotana Beirut! ❤️

What truly made my experience special was the amazing staff. Every single team member was incredibly friendly, welcoming, kind, and helpful. Their professionalism, genuine hospitality, and quick response to every request made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout my stay.

The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a lovely variety of options, and the food menu was excellent as well.

I truly enjoyed every moment of my stay, and I can confidently say that Rotana will always be my first choice whenever I visit Beirut.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. You made my stay unforgettable!

Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at the Gefinor Rotana Hotel. It’s a beautiful hotel in a great location in the heart of Beirut, and everything was clean, organized, and welcoming.

A special thank-you to Mira at the reception. She was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. She took care of everything I needed and patiently answered my many questions about my stay and the neighborhood. I’m visiting as a guest of the University of Beirut, and I truly appreciate the care she showed me.

I would happily stay here again and highly recommend the Gefinor Rotana Hotel.

Pros:

Endroit très très bien situé avec un rooftop qui a une vue sur la mer avec une piscine une salle de fitness des serviettes mais je trouve que les douches ne sont pas bien équipés dans une il n'y avait pas de gel douche il y avait du shampoing et dans l'autre il y avait du gel douche et pas du shampoing ensuite ça a été préférable qu'on me dise qu'il faut demander qu'on chauffe le sauna et rooftop il y a une odeur de d'essence qui ressort des installations.

Le personnel est excellent très accueillant très aimable le petit-déjeuner est très varié et vous pouvez faire de demande spécifique si vous avez envie de quelque chose de particulier.

Le transfert de l'aéroport est possible ce qui est très facile.

Et le rapport qualité-prix est tout à fait correct.

Cons:

Comme spécifique que le sauna doit être allumé et qu'on doit faire la demande.
Et que pour un 5 étoiles qu'il n'y ait pas un mini bar rempli.

Pros:

The place is modern and the rooms are clean, the sea view rooms have a pretty view. The reception staff are very friendly and the service is good. I don’t think it’s an overall great value for money though

Gym:
Great space, some machines are quite old but it has a great variety. For a hotel gym it is pretty good and will allow you to get the needed workout for your few days of stay if you don't want to miss them, it is also clean and has towels and sanitizer

Pool:
Pool is at a rooftop with good view, the water was too cold to get in though in the first week of October . I imagine the pool might be pretty small though for peak seasons, but in October it was very empty

Cons:

The breakfast selection is very limited for the price for a 5 stars hotel.
The buffet:
- no sausages, no smoked salmon
- 2 types of yellow cheese that are not high quality
- 2 types of white cheese
- some Foul, falafel
- an omelette station (they taste good) and a manakish station
- there is no yogurts or greek yogurt
- 4 types of fruits
- the bakery section is super limited only a couple of things
- the bread is like 3 types of bread
- coffee is not amazing and the other drink is orange juice no other options

Breakfast Service:
It was our least favorite , 70% of the time the serving plates are empty and still waiting on a refill, even though the selection is very limited
The space of the buffet is also small and when they have several hotel guests at breakfast it becomes really hard to grab food
For people who have been to several 5 stars hotels they would know this is not 5-stars standards, I have been to 4 stars that had better breakfast.

Housekeeping:
One day we went out in the afternoon and asked for the room to be cleaned, we came back at 8 pm and the room was still not cleaned. We had to ask them to clean it at 9 pm, they came and cleaned it well though and added fresh towels
