Description: Talal's New Hotel was recommended to me by a friend who had just returned from Beirut. After spending 3 nights in a budget hotel in Hamra I worked up the courage to give it a go.
I arrived at Talal's to be greeted by Talal himself who immediately offered me a free drink from the fridge and welcomed me. That was the start of 10 great nights.
This hostel is awesome, it is the only one I have been to that has satellite TV, A/C, and a bar fridge in every room!
Talal is a great host, he always lets you use his PC for free Internet access. If you want to go anywhere he will give you clear directions, tell you all you need to know to make sure that you get there cheaply and safely.
The atmosphere in the hostel is excellent, and I met lots of great people there! There is a fridge well stocked with beer, juices, and soft drinks for bargain prices. This is definitely the place to stay in Beirut!
