The Grand Meshmosh Hotel

Staff failed to inform me of when breakfast ends at check in. He mentioned one time: noon (check out). No towels proffered to guests, so there’s ratty, moldy towels hanging in the rooms that guests have been dragging around with them as they travel. In the rooms at night, there are many mosquitos. I had requested a top bunk in my note in the booking, and at check in the guy congratulated me for receiving one of their last bottom bunks. And it was right next to an old man whose snoring rattled the room all night long. This place was a bummer.

What an amazing gem of a spot! The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful. The organized quiz nights were busy and a lot of fun. The food was delicious. The rooms are clean and comfortable. And the location midway up St Nicolas Stairs is ideal. All-in-all, next time I’m back in Lebanon I will most certainly be staying back here!

It is what a hostel should be.|A place to sleep.|Good people. the one's that take care of you and those you meet.|Breakfast of solid local goodies.|A good bar and atmosphere.|In 5 days I made great memories and cool connections.|I will be back.|You are welcome in Seattle anytime.

Michel and the staff were amazing! We arrived late after new year's eve and were able to get in easily. Breakfast next morning was super! Definitely recommneded.

I went on a business trip and only stayed at the grand Meshmosh for three days, but I felt really comfortable.|the location is perfect, the guys who work there are super professional and very kind. At the same time there is a family atmosphere.|I was lucky enough to be there on a Friday when there was a DJ set at aperitif time.|The rooms are simple but spacious and clean, there is a garden where you can eat, (delicious food) ,drink a coffee or simply relax. I hope I can return to Beirut and stay in this hotel again.

Hostel was very good and also was supper clean. Staff always helped with everything need and very kind.

I rented a place last June 16th, 2023 and I only stayed for couple of hours before running away. The staff are nice, food is okay, that said, my experience was bad, frankly this could work for some especially hippies or younger people those traveling on a very very tight budget but not for families or to those seeking privacy, even the bathroom doors are damaged never mind sleeping in a room full of smelly strangers snoring the whole night. To summarize my experience it’s a homeless shelter but you got to pay good money for it,

Great hostel in the heart of Beirut. Helpful staff and comfortable beds. The food served was very good. There is a bit of room for improvement regarding bathroom hygiene. But apart from that, happy to recommend 👌
