Le Patio Boutique Hotel

“A safe history”

A very goid location in a traditional setting and renovated. A must try for fun time surrounding close to all areas with a very short taxi drive . Rooms are nice views are nice with balconies with fresh air

“Quiet,comfortable hotel in good location”

We were pleased we had chosen this hotel instead of pricer alternatives. It is in the heart of the downtown area but in a very quiet location. The room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was good and staff were pleasant and helpful.

“Beware of the noisy rooms”

On the plus side this hotel has a great location in being very near to most of the things you'd want to do in Beirut. The staff are also friendly and do their best to help you. However the main issue is the noise. If you get offered room 308 then immediately demand a change - you will not sleep! I… more

On the plus side this hotel has a great location in being very near to most of the things you'd want to do in Beirut. The staff are also friendly and do their best to help you. However the main issue is the noise. If you get offered room 308 then immediately demand a change - you will not sleep! I was given this room with absolutely no warning of noise - my room was the equivalent of sleeping directly next to a live band! After four phone calls to reception where I was repeatedly told 'it will stop' the music did not stop and I demanded to change room, which was quite an annoying procedure at 1am having unpacked and being there on business with work the next day. I was moved to room 403, which was significantly quieter, however you can still here the bars outside but in comparison to 308 it was a vast improvement. The hotel feels quite old and in need of a re-furb, however it has all the basic amenities and is comfortable and friendly aside from the noise. The gym is essentially a treadmill but no one was ever in it except for me so that was ok.

“Solid 3-star property in central Beirut's Solidere district”

I stayed here for six nights, and for my needs would stay in another part of the city on a return visit. The room size is good, with a separate seating and work area from the bedroom.

I stayed here for six nights, and for my needs would stay in another part of the city on a return visit. The room size is good, with a separate seating and work area from the bedroom. The heavy curtains work well to block out the sun if you need darkness for sleeping. Nothing can be done, however, to block out the noise. As other reviewers have noted the nightclub downstairs blasts music until 2-3am on the weekends, and until 1am other nights. Be prepared! (I had requested a quiet room although did not receive one, if they even exist??) The bathroom is also a good size although the lighting in the bathroom is extremely dull, even with all of the lights on. The minibar and other amenities are decent and sometimes refilled. Overall the property is tired and worn. As it is advertised as a boutique hotel I did not expect standard 5* quality, however, this property is certainly not a 4* or 5* property however you rate it. Service levels are average, and few staff members ever said a word to me coming or going or even acknowledged my presence in any way. I was booked on the non-smoking floor and for several nights of my stay there was a/were heavy smoker/s in the room next door. It was so bad that the smoke woke me up. One evening the pool/bar area was booked for a private party, and there was no notice of this in the lobby or my room so I went upstairs to relax for a bit and walked into a mess. I'm sure it could be a nice space for a drink, but I cannot confirm. The level of cleanliness is also average. You can tell the rooms are vacuumed as you can see the markings on the well-worn carpet. There were dark hairs in my shower when I checked in, and they remained unmoved in my shower for the entirety of my stay. There was also toothpaste around the mirror and back of the sink area that also remained for my entire stay. You can easily walk to Beirut Souks, central business areas and nearby neighborhood for shopping, cafes, and nightclubs. If this your thing, then this could be a good location for you. Cars, taxis, etc. cannot reach the hotel directly so you will have a very short walk to reach the hotel if you are dropped off on the nearby road.
