HOTEL AL BUSTAN📍BEIT MERI
🔸THE HOTEL
As soon as you arrive at the hotel you are mesmerised by the beautiful nature and greenery! 🌿
The hotel has old, vintage style and the rooms are cozy
The view over Beirut from the rooms is just astonishing! 🤩
Overall the atmosphere is very nice and relaxing, total tranquility, perfect for someone who wishes to escape the city life for a while 😊
The Elevator is Awesome!! 📚
The hotel is old, it felt at times like its spirit is fading away
The hotel definitely needs some renovation, especially in the rooms and the bathrooms!
As the rooms are not too well maintained
🔸THE SPA
The hotel has truly exquisite SPA facilities!
You can access and spend amazing time at their indoor pool or have a very professional massage. They also have Turkish hammam 😍
If you are not staying at the hotel you can access the pool as well if you get massage appointment at their spa (well not during the lockdown)
Kids below 15 are not allowed at the inside pool ❗️(which is weird as this hotel perfectly suits a family getaway)
The massage is very expensive
🔸THE RESTAURANT
The hotel had one Italian restaurant.
The food options are okay.
The prices are moderate.
The food is very average. Nothing special at all. Didn’t like their baked 🍆 eggplant. Their burrata was not even burrata but just a normal mozzarella. And even the pizza 🍕was not that good (very cheap ingredients).
Red sauce Pasta with ham and parmesan cheese was good.
I mean the hotel is 5 star⭐️ but the food at the restaurant makes you think that you are at 2 star ⭐️ hotel 😬
They have good wine 👍🏻We had rare Chateau Kefraya 2012 bottle and it was wonderful 🍷
The service was good! Very polite staff.
I didn’t like the inside seatings. I felt like I was in a cafeteria of a cheap resort in Egypt where tourists go for all inclusive buffet
BUT
I’m sure in summer if you seat outside with their beautiful nature … its gonna be just WOW
💗Overall: 7,5/ 10
💵 Price: Around 250$ per night
