    The vibes and the view , you wouldn't believe that such a nice hotel exists in the 4th floor of a building (yes , not a complete building) ,but once you go inside you will like the place very much , not many amenities as expected from a guest house like, (but better than leaving the room key in a box style with not one around) the staff are friendly and the view is just amazing of the gamayza street

    Can't think of one!

    The hotel is very clean with great ammenities and nice balcony that overlooks a lively street and a peek at the waters on the right. There is so much to do on our street alone with endless restaurants, cafes and bars. They even offered a full snack and beverage bar daily and free breakfast. We couldn't take advantage as we have booked a private tours for the 3 days that included breakfast. The owner was very accommodating and to have breakfast prepared for us before their normal breakfast time! As mentioned, we booked a private customized tour to go to the places that we've wanted to visit in Lebanon with the recommendation of the hotel owner. We loved the tour and our guide, Yaya. He was more than accommodating and even took us to more places than we agreed upon and took us to his favorite local spots. Overall, our visit was amazing and the hospitality of the Lebanese was wonderful. We would definitely recommend to our friends ad family.

    Bathrooms are tiny tho 😂 but super clean

    The place just gives you warm vibes the moment you enter the building with the artistic vintage lift till you reach the place and the rooms ♥️ The view from all rooms is lovely, and the location is literally walking distance to everywhere Nadim the owner is such a decent and funny guy, actually everyone on the reception area his.

    I just wish there was a hairdryer in the rooms. I am pretty sure had we demanded one, the staff would have provided though!

    The place is amazingly well maintained specially given how bad the neighborhood was hit during the port's blast few yearss ago. The staff are amazingly polite, kind and welcoming. We also appreciated their discretion in a country where everyone tends to ask everyone "Where do you come from?" The neighborhood is a partying one so make sure you know what you're doing because the hotel cannot be held responsible for the nightlife.

    There is nothing we did not like at this property!

    This property is a Gem, like the name implies! It was a great pleasure staying at that beautiful boutique hotel for over 2 weeks. This property offers all amenities for superior comfort with every detail in a very clean setting. Management and staff tended carefully to every request and provided us assistance for what we needed from outside the hotel. They were eager to help and at all times. The site is a gem by itself. It is located in a historic neighborhood that has been largely preserved with its period architecture and urban design. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and shops around that make the experience even more pleasurable. We would for sure stay at The Gem again every time we go back to Beirut/Lebanon for visits.

    Very good hotel, slightly on pricier side also checkouts were flexible they did give extra time. Just if they introduce a minibar and put dental/vanity kits in the bathroom more helpful.

    I loved the beautiful location in vibrant, energetic Beirut, offering a perfect blend of authentic local ambiance and modern style. The property was very comfortable and tidy, with spacious rooms and exceptional service. The generous owner made sure we felt at home, and the complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits available at all times were a thoughtful touch. The view of the lively Gemmayze streets was incredible, and the property’s central location made it easy to explore nearby restaurants and pubs.

    The boutique hotel is located on the fourth floor and the elevator wasn’t always working. Upon arrival the receptionist kindly helped us with the luggage and we were ok with climbing the stairs occasionally. anyway a point to note in terms of accessibility.

    The whole place is very tasteful and new. Location was great and staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very simple but very very nice. I would come again here in a heartbeat.

    A Gem in Hamra

    Not necessarily negative but worthy of noting: You will have to go up a few steps before taking the elevator to the hotel floor. It might be nice to have a bigger sign outside the entrance as it get can confusing when you first arrive. Definitely no parking available around the hotel, sometimes even a challenge for taxi/uber.

    Staff very kind, friendly, polite and accommodating. The rooms were very clean, and offered change of linen and towels on daily basis. Wifi was good. AC worked great except when there is electricity outages but those are all around Beirut and nothing in hotel’s capacity. It is on a busy street with lots of spots for coffee, meals and drinks. Which also means it can get loud at nights, specially on weekends. As others noted, not much insulation with the windows.
