Dar Alma

One of the worse experiences one could have in terms of hospitality service in Lebanon: 1. We booked a room for 4 persons plus an extra bed, yet, we got 2 towels and a restroom that directly opens to one of the beds 2. Breakfast is ridiculously poorly presented with too little options 3. Breakfast is offered in a dark setting and we had to find the light switches to turn on 4. We kept sweating in the restaurant while staff could enjoy their fan on 5. Sugar sachets were kept in drawers and only provided upon demand without stirrers. Salt shakers were not available at the tables. Cups were scratched and unappealing. Coffee is terrible and no green tea was available and the list goes on 6. A sound of running water kept us awake all night 7. The air conditioner was not properly functioning 8. When requesting a late check out for one of the 2 rooms we had booked, we were offered to stay no longer than 12:30 - 1 PM 9. At 320$ for a room + 20$ extra bed; we deserve a much better experience! You are a shame to the Lebanese hospitality sector!

We went to dar alma for a quick coffee break. We were seated by the water in a small and cute area. It's a small variety of desserts but so worth the view. The hotel is located in a lovely alley inside the city where the nightlife actually happens. I didn't get the privilege of sleeping there but would definitely try it on my next visit. Very cute hotel.

Disliked · They didn’t clean my room on the first day even though I put out the sign to have my room cleaned. I came back in the evening to a messy room with no bottled water to drink. They wouldn’t give black tea in the room, said I could only order it. There was only a caffeine-free tea selection in the room. They didn’t come to collect the food from room service on the first night so the plates were still outside on the floor in the morning. The last day of my stay there was no water at all in the room. They offered to let me shower in a different room but this was not practical. I understand the situation in Lebanon; I live here, but a hotel cannot charge 5 star prices ($350 per night) if they are unable to provide 5 star service. I won’t stay there again. Also the restaurant has gone way down hill since last year.

Easily one of Lebanon;s most charming boutique hotels. Dar Alma is situated in the lovely Christian Quarter, right on the seafront. The hotel exudes a nautical atmosphere, from its blue and white decor to the ocean facing restaurant and private swimming spot. A night's stay costs around 200 USD.

A small spot in a quiet place with the sound of the waves is an incredible thing, this beautiful place, but our day was not complete with the quality of the food, because the quality of the food is not worth its price, as it is less. We ordered many dishes, but the worst thing was the seafood dish that needs more work, taste and leveling. On the contrary, last year everything was great. We hope you can improve.
