This is my second time staying at a hotel in Beirut, and let me tell you, El Sheikh suites exceeded all expectations. They truly exceeded the mark in every aspect. I would like to give a shout out to Bchara, Faten, Weam, Ahmad, Sally, Ali, Shadi, and anyone else I encountered but did not take their name down. You all provided excellent service and went above and beyond. Your customer service was nothing short of displaying the Lebanese hospitality.
Communication with the hotel was super easy and fast. As I did not have a prearranged pickup from the airport, Bchara was helpful in arranging a taxi pick up. The whole process was easy and fast and I felt safe with the taxi pick up. The breakfast was so delicious and included a variety of Lebanese options. There were hot and cold choices. I went for second rounds.
The room was one of the cleanest I stayed in (mind you, I’m comparing this to hotels I’ve stayed in in the US and Europe) and housekeeping had no issues cleaning the room daily. The towels were very absorbent and mattress and pillows were just the right firmness. I slept like a baby during my 2 weeks stay. There was constant power and the water pressure was 10 times better than my apartment in the US. Definitely miss my showers at this hotel. The A/C was in working condition and I was able to adjust the temperature to my liking without any issues.
Location was excellent with restaurants and cafes nearby. Great value and will be staying here on my next Beirut visit.
