Breakfast Delight

The breakfast at The Grand Meshmosh is absolutely amazing! It offers a variety of delicious options that exceeded my expectations. I particularly loved the big Lebanese breakfast, one of the best I've ever had at a hostel. Free drinking water was also available in the common area, which was a great touch.

Spacious & Clean

I stayed in the mixed dorm, and I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and clean it was. The beds were comfortable and had personal lockers for security. I also appreciated the thoughtful little touches, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The dorm's cleanliness was great, making me feel at home.

Clean Facilities

The bathrooms were consistently clean and well-maintained, which is always a crucial aspect for me when traveling. With seemingly enough toilets on the floor, I never had to wait to use one. The availability of free shower gel and shampoo added to the hassle-free experience.

Comfortable Atmosphere

Both the dorm room and the private room I stayed in were charming and comfortable. I loved the ambiance, particularly how welcoming everything felt. It was an excellent place to return to after a day of exploring the city, and I found the air conditioning to be efficient, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Staying at The Grand Meshmosh was a delightful experience! The warm and welcoming atmosphere, combined with the incredibly helpful staff, truly made it feel like a home away from home. The location is fantastic, surrounded by young, vibrant energy and great dining options. The only minor downside was dealing with the hustle and bustle of the city, but that’s just part of the experience. Overall, I would definitely recommend it!

The staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home, and the breakfast was a highlight with plenty of delicious homemade options. The location was also a major plus, with vibrant nightlife and attractions nearby. However, the inconsistent internet due to the local power grid can be a bit frustrating, and I did have a troublesome experience with mosquitoes in my room, which I had to manage myself.
