Monroe Hotel Beirut

I like the secure feeling by staying at this hotel and its location

Yes I did, one of the staff at the Reception used to be very rude with the customers especilly if they are from Gulf countries like. He took from me down payment 4000us Dollar (on hold on my Master card) on my first night at the hotel asi checked in on 18th, July 2010. In addtion I paid another 4000us Dollar cash as a eposit for my 15 nights there. Besides, whenever me or my family needs a service his answer was no most of the time. I can't remember his name but he was on duty at the reception on the date of my arrival 18/7/2010 at 7:30pm.

Nothing...

The restaurant where we used to have breakfast was below average..tables werent clean, or the staff wasnt caring enough for guests.. each time, we had to call them to clean the table for us. there were flies in the buffet . in my room, the towels were awful.. you should really have a look to the towels... they lost their real colour... the light of the bathroom was so dull ..the hotel charged us 40 $ for the taxi that picked us up from the airport, altough they told us on the phone that it will only cost 30 $ and when we asked why? they answered that because the aeroplane was delaid so the driver had to wait for us so thats why they increased the charges... something that no other decent hotel will do. For me, no more Monroe.

breakfast was good

construction on the other half so no pool available. although I called the hotel before the stay and they confirmed they have a pool, somehow the staff forgot to mention that it is closed for construction site for at least another 6 months or one year!!!!

Location in the downtown

Better staff service
