About us

Hostel Beirut is a young cooperative founded in 2021 in Geitawi neighbourhood in Beirut.

We are a worker-owned business that provides affordable accommodation for tourists and Beirut visitors, a produce shop to support local artists and collectives, and an open community space for people and groups engaged in arts, community initiatives and radical political action.

At its core, the hostel aims to act as a solidarity economy model that reclaims our power of labour and production, and a space that motivates people to collaborate, mobilize and act together around shared visions.

    It’s a place for an internatinal exchange. I was always welcome at that place and it’s always relaxing in their beautiful terrass. People of the Hostel are very very nice.
    I just want to tell you thank you.

    Hostel Beirut rocks !!

  3. Hi Kristian,

    Congratulations! This looks like a great place and has gotten excellent reviews! I also love the NGO aspect of your hostel and scholarships to refugees. Im interested to work with refugees for a couple of months in early fall. Would this be a good spot for buses, walking, etc?

    Best wishes,

    • Hi Kelly,
      Beirut is an excellent place no matter how you see it. Lot’s of thing can be approved on like public transportation, green initiatives etc. but the overall charm of the country and the people make up for it. If you are interested in working with refugees there are a lot of NGO’s here. Right now Hostel Beirut are having two projects, one which create jobs for refugees without any skills. You can read about that under our volunteer section.
      Kindest regards, Kristian

    we knew about your hostel from a staff member that was staying with you ans she just described your place with so much similarity to our hostel in ramallah in palestine check our facebook hostel in ramallah we gave this name because we are the first hostel in the city so we do share lots of similarities.
    please contact us we like to network with your hostel.
