This is NOT a five star hotel. They had a coffee maker with no coffee in the room and when asked they said you have to buy it. I was checked in quickly and that was the only positive of this hotel. We asked for an extra blanket and they said they didn’t have one. There was no view or windows in our room, it felt like a prison. They had frosted sliding doors that were left open and could not lock, when I asked for them to come fix them, they said they would lock them from the outside, WHAT?!?! That means anyone from the outside can access the room. Also, it was a mess from the outside around the room area. The shower leaked excessively and the faucet spewed water all over the place. Overall the worst experience we have had at a betel that claims to be five star, the rating should be a 3.5 max. They remodeled a few things cheaply and called it a five star hotel.

Great boutique hotel near downtown area.
This was a great high-end boutique hotel that has a small but cute rooftop pool and terrace great for grabbing a quick drink. We had an issue with the room, but hotel management quickly fixed the issue and was resolved in a positive manner. Location is near downtown, but you will need a taxi or be okay with at least a 10-minute walk to the shopping area.

Nice hotel!
Very nice hotel. I really enjoyed my stay. I wish it had a better gym but there are nice gyms in the area to go to. The WiFi was very slow but that seems to be the case all over Beirut.

We had a great stay, the location and service are amazing. The staff was very helpful. The only negative thing was the fact that the windows opened onto some service area. So you don't get any natural daylight.

First of all, it is definitely not 5 star hotel. I would give it good 3 star. Positives: Very pleasant staff, comfortable bed. We arrived late evening, then went to upstairs restaurant which was empty and only owners with their friends were having their dinner there. Food was just ok. Owner of that hotel came up to us and had a conversation about hotel and how we should not book anywhere else and etc. I had executive room, by the time we got back from their restaurant it was stinking with toilet smell (drainage) so badly! But we were tired and sleepy. In the morning I woke up to the worst view! It’s horrible! Room is looking at some building and roofs of distroyed buildings! Tried to have a bath - bath is not working, went to have shower - and it’s literally so smal, my husband almost could not fit in there! And this shower is also leaking and flooded all the bathroom floor. I do not recommend this hotel, especially for such price. There are definitely better options in Beirut in that segment of hotels.

Amazing stay at O Monot. The location was fantastic and easy to walk to downtown! Staff were very friendly! Only negative thing is there was no iron available.

This hotel looks nice and the staff are pleasant but not much help (they couldn't help with the sewage smell, where in the whole of Beirut to get shoes repaired or help us with our high/quiet floor request). If you want to iron some clothes they are not able to provide an iron or ironing board and you would have to pay (~£6) for cleaning a shirt. The hotel is quite noisy, both from other rooms (not good sound insulation) and from road noise from the 2 major roads intersections just outside (hence we wanted a high floor). We asked for a high floor prior to check in but this wasn't given, the hotel was busy but during room allocation our request wasn't taken on - not everyone could have pre-booked or requested their room surely! The shower leaked over the floor no matter how careful or tight you pulled the doors and if you lifted the covers on the drainage points on the floor so your feet didn't get continually wet you got a heightened chance of sewage smell. A few times the sewage smell in the hotel, particularly in reception and the lower floors was nauseating. The bed was comfy and the hotel was clean. The roof pool area was pleasant but we can't recommend staying here.

Great location within walking distance of great restaurants very close and 15 mins to downtown. Very friendly and helpful staff on front desk. Generous breakfast included. Would definitely recommend. Only down side pool very small, jackuzzi size and just 3 sun beds. But lovely roof for sundowner cocktails with views across city and to sea.

O Monot is wonderfully located within walking distance to many of Beirut's sights. Achrafieh, Gemmayzeh, Saifi, Martyr's Square and Downtown are all relatively easy strolls. O Monot is clean, modern and staffed by some of the most helpful people I've met in any hotel.

Perfect stay
This hotel is only 10 minutes away from Downtown Beirut and you can get pretty much anywhere on foot. Rooms are very spacious and clean and the rooftop pool is perfect to enjoy an afternoon of sun or an after-dinner drink. Service is excellent - the staff is extremely helpful. They arranged a day trip to Byblos for us and tried to accommodate all our requests. A big thank you to all the reception staff because they made us feel welcome and at home. We will most definitely choose O Monot again should we visit Beirut in the future.

Very nice luxury boutique hotel, rooftop pool bar!
This is a lovely luxury boutique hotel that is very close to several great neighborhoods in the area. It has a really beautiful rooftop bar with pool, and the rooms and baths are luxurious. One thing to keep in mind is there is construction in the building immediately adjacent to the hotel so some rooms will be exposed to alot of noise. They told me it was supposed to end at night, but it kept me awake well past midnight and starting at 5am despite my repeated complaints... So make sure to get a room far from the building!

Nice hotel with construction nearby
Really nice hotel however I think offering rooms just next to horrible construction noise is not right. The rooms ending with 05 face a new building site and drilling and knocking starts at 730 am. Second day I was changed to a new quieter room.

Heart of Beirut
Hotel is amazing, small and intimate. The staff are really friendly and give a you a more personal touch, very helpful to tell you where to go and what to do. Great service for breakfast and the room on the 10th is beautifully decorated and cozy. Sadly the pool wasnt in service but it wasnt an issue for us. Would recommend staying here no problem. Rooms are very modern and have everything you could ever need.

Modern hotel in city centre.
Lovely staff, great location, very central. My only disappointment is that although we stayed for 8 nights which I imagine is quite a long stay for a city centre hotel, we were given a room on the 4th floor. The room was lovely except for the fact that we couldn't open our curtains as we were completely over looked by another rather ramshackle building a few metres opposite us. If we were staying 2 or 3 nights this might have been acceptable but not for 8 nights! It would have been lovely to let the sunshine in.

The rooftop is to die for and the location makes it walking distance to everything. It's near a major road but with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within a 5 minute walk. The hotel is pretty new and is very comfortable.

The one place to stay in Beirut
O Monot is just about perfect in all aspects. It‘s big enough to blend in, yet small to get the feeling of cozyness and personal attention. Rooms are tastefully decorated with beds that fasttrack you to dreamland. Clean and neat everywhere, impeccable condition. On the rooftop terrace you can relax in the lounge sipping a glass of local grape and enjoy a stunning view of the city. The pool is too small for a serious workout but ideal for a morning dip. Staff is great. Personal touch, friendly and committed, jumping out of the chair to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Their front office manager is a true fixer with knowledge far beyond the borders of the city. Locationwise also good, albeit busy with some traffic noise. In one direction the rather polished downtown and the modern souks, the other way Gemmayzeh, a quirky neighbourhood with a lovely messy mix of commercial and residential. Whatever you prefer. Also, just two blocks away you find a couple of falafel outlets for the lunch or late night crave, one of them world famous Falafel Sahyoun. To alternate between the rooftop bar and the watering holes further up Monot street is a highly recommended activity. O Monot is almost like a sanctuary in bustling and busy Beirut, where you come to peace and charge your batteries for another demanding day in this exciting city.

O Monot - a brisk walk from the Solidere
I wanted to surprise my wife on our anniversary by a quick weekend getaway; friends suggested to stay in our around the Solidere... O Monot is a quick 5-10min walk to the heart of it. The hotel is very new and in immaculate condition and the staff were very friendly, helpful and full of energy and amazing suggestions.

Best small luxury hotel in Beirut
The service was impeccable, the staff very well mannered and professional , the location is very convinient being it close to Downtown and Ashrafieh too. Above all, the interiors are a bonus for the hotel . The Attention to detail is indeed worthy of praise. Starting from the finishing, right down to each ornament and piece of furniture , the choices are just right . Excellent sofas throughout the hotel where leather reigns over all else !

Brand new hotel with excellent service
Located close to downtown Beirut, this new hotel is part of the small luxury hotels chain, and it is up to its standards, with good taste decoration, impecable cleanliness and very nice staff and services. Food is quite good, small swimming pool is pleasant and night-time roofterrace bar is lively. Pity that current conditions in the country is limiting the tourism inflow, otherwise the hotel would certainly be full. Congratulations.

Me and my girlfriend stayed 3 nights at the hotel and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel provides excellent service. We were treated really special as the hotel manager gave us suggestions on what to do everyday, where to eat, etc. The hotel is brand new so it is in perfect conditions. The design is modern with a very good taste. Regarding the rooms, apart from a bad view from the balcony (since the building in front of the hotel is very old and not maintained) and a very small shower, the room is spectacular; very spacious and illuminated. The bed is really comfortable. The rooftop is really good as well; you have a great view of Beirut. Overall, I recommend 100% the hotel and we would stay there again if we come back to Beirut.

Charming boutique hotel
We stayed 5 nights last week in O Monot boutique hotel and we strated enjoying our stay from the second we stepped into the hotel especially with the warm welcome and charming smile of front desk manager and his team. The hotel is very clean and the interior design of the common areas and the rooms is very relaxing. The rooftop restaurant and pool has an amazing view on both the sea and the city. Ideal for a chill out gathering with friends. The friendliness and politeness of the team is to the highest level.

Beirut's Best Hotel
O Monot is unique and stylish. Beautify designed and appointed with an outstanding staff. The food is top-notch with impeccable service. Beats my stays in the Ritz, Four Seasons, SoHo Grand, W, hands-down. Amazing rooftop with pool and views. Fun bars and restaurants just a few steps away, literally. Late-nite convenience store across the street. Will surely return.
