"Nice hotel in convenient location"
23rd April 2012, NateCambs, Cambridge
Warm welcome on check in, the hotel is fairly small and of an older style but everywhere seemed spotlessly clean. Room was large with a very comfy bed. Shower was very powerful and there was no lack of hot water. Only 2 slight negatives are that the breakfast is, in my opinion bad value at $22 but there are coffee shops nearby that offer more choice at a lower cost. There is a large construction site behind the hotel that is very noisy from 6:30AM so no sleep-in possible!
"Very good"
25th July 2011, Lyon
Good hotel. The team is very nice. It is not located downtown so you have to take a cab to go downtown but it is not that far. Restaurant is like all restaurant in Novotel : good but not a lot of choice. The rooms are great, the pillows are magical. Internet connection is not very good but it is working.
"Satisfied with stay... would recommend"
28th May 2011, HongKongNana, Hong Kong
Very good service. Helpful reception staff who helped us book our day tour to Byblos and Harissa. The offer the hotel gave us was cheaper than what other local tour agencies could offer. Room and hotel was clean. In safe and clean neighbourhood. Was a bit noisy as my room was facing the street. Overall very satisfied with stay.
"Nice stay in Beirut"
19th April 2011, London
Somewhat pricey hotel, however very comfortable, very well located in Beirut within walking distance to many places in the city. The staff was very friendly and professional.A couple of minor issues: Generally speaking, internet service is well below par in Lebanon. It is so deathly slow that you feel at times you are sharing a single connection with thousands of people. Considering how much the Gabriel charges for Internet ($8/hr) you would think they actually offer a good connection. They do not. It is definitely not worth the money. You will feel like you are waiting for paint to dry while loading a web page. I didn't think to request a non-smoking room, and I am not sure if such a concept even exists in Lebanon... but it was somewhat disappointing that I could smell the cigarette smoke emanating from my neighbors' rooms pretty much all night every night. Despite these minor irritants, the stay was very comfortable and I would not hesitate to return to the Gabriel on a future Beirut visit.
