It’s a converted old house with a lot of charm. WiFi is good. Water never ran out. Electricity was always on. The towels were thick. The A/C cooled the room appropriately. The breakfast was great. There is water and tea available for free in the common area. Note that there is no elevator and the stairs are fairly steep. The only real complaint is that the shower head had accumulated a lot of calcium due to the hard water, and this affected the water pressure. Also, dirt or hair had accumulated in the shower drain, causing the water to drain slowly. Both are easy fixes that should have been caught by the household staff.

This is a small luxury hotel. We stayed at their newly added suite of 5 rooms at their second property 1 minute away (walking). The hotel is beautiful and comfortable, and the staff is very attentive. Breakfast is included in the room price, and it is very delicious. The food is all brought in directly from farms, and you can tell from the richer taste of the eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, labne, etc. They use the tannour to make their bread and manakeesh, and the taste is top-notch. The owner approached us at breakfast to ensure that everything was done to our satisfaction and to describe his "project". I would say that he has succeeded admirably. We will definitely stay there on our next visit to Beirut. The street the hotel is on has many restaurants and pubs, and we tried a couple of them (both were very good). It is not far from ABC Achrafieh, a very classy mall within 15 minutes walking. Overall, a terrific experience.

Felt right at home from the very first moment I stepped into Beit Toureef. That feeling rung through till the end of my stay. I was bummed that I had only booked a one night stay. Beit Toureef is beyond just a lodging or hospitality venture, the business helps support local communities and villages throughout Lebanon. The room was sparkling clean, cozy and comfortable. The staff members were warm and courteous. Special mention to Doha & Kalsa. After checking out, I needed to store my belongings. They were happy to accommodate me, and even offered me freshly pressed juice as I waited. They take Lebanese hospitality to another level. Thank you Sassine for the great conversation. You are doing amazing work here, keep at it! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Beirut; which is sooner than I had expected!😊

Exceptional! You must stay here.

Cannot say enough good things about Beit Toureef! What a beautiful experience. Sass and his staff are exceptionally kind, attentive, and so passionate about this guest house project that gives back to the community. We also loved the rooftop patio and the bartender, Shawki. Beautiful drinks, and food!! Will absolutely recommend to all my friends who visit Beirut, and will definitely be back.

Beit Toureef is more than just a guest house. This gem offers a charming and authentic experience that truly immerses you in Lebanese village traditions. During my stay, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sassine, the amazing founder whose visionary concept brings the essence of Lebanon to the heart of Beirut. The atmosphere at Beit Toureef is delightful, the staff is friendly and attentive, the rooms are cozy, and the location, nestled between Gemmayze and Mar Mikhael, is perfect. And let's not forget the well-stocked pantry filled with Lebanese traditional products, adding an extra layer of local charm to the experience. A truly unique and memorable stay!

Cool Stay in Gemmayze

From the moment I started my journey, the staff were on point. Before even arriving, they checked in to make sure I was on track. Sassine greeted me warmly when I got there and showed me around. Youmna was a star, always ready to assist and making sure I had everything I needed. One thing that really stood out was how the staff were keen to help with my plans in Lebanon. They often asked if I needed suggestions or assistance with anything I wanted to do or see, making my trip even more memorable. The room? Super comfy. And the morning? It started perfectly with a delicious Lebanese breakfast on the rooftop. All in all, if you're thinking of a trip to Beirut, Beit Toureef is a top choice. Great people, a comfy stay, tasty food, and thoughtful assistance with your travel plans.
