"Hotel Cavalier is a clean & efficient hotel. The rooms are spacious, the balconies lovely to have, the bathrooms have all the necessary amenities, the beds are quite comfortable & the air conditioning very welcome with Beirut’s humidity. The staff at the front desk were very helpful & friendly. If you need a solid hotel room centrally located you can’t go wrong here.
Any down sides? The breakfast buffet wasn’t regularly served (too few guests at this time); there was no cable TV, fitness room or pool (for those who want them).
In my particular room one of the dresser drawers was broken & the safe didn’t work. My room smelled like cigarette smoke despite its being nonsmoking. These issues aside, I would stay here again for the price, cleanliness, comfort, & location."
"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."
""I recently had an amazing stay at Hamra Urban Gardens in Beirut. The vibe of the hotel is incredibly unique—it’s the perfect blend of urban cool and traditional Lebanese hospitality. The rooftop pool is a sanctuary in the middle of Hamra, and the whole place feels like a vibrant community.
However, what truly made this trip unforgettable was the incredible people I was with. I want to extend a special thanks to Hossam, Fadia, Wessam And Samer.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to experience the true heart and soul of Beirut!""
