Tripoli's central youth hostel is a stone's throw from Green Sq and, although it's pretty basic, these are the cheapest habitable beds in the centre of town. The shared bathrooms are fine and the…

Of the new private hotels in this area, Funduq al-Andalus is our favourite. It has all the necessary bells and whistles - satellite TV, air-conditioning, minibar - but the decoration is more styl…

Another good choice in the area that gets good reports from travellers, Funduq al-Deyafa has decent rooms and the bathrooms have bathtubs. If you've seen every hotel room in Tripoli, like we have…

One of the newest (and friendliest) kids on the block, Funduq al-Doha promises a warm welcome and the whole place sparkles, although you really want a room at the front as most of those at the ba…

Once one of Tripoli's top hotels, Funduq al-Kebir is still probably the best value of the old government hotels. The rooms are very comfortable if unspectacular and the views from the top floors …

This place just about merits its elevated prices - the quality of the rooms and service is much the same as the others around here, but its rooms are more stylish and there's a little more space …

Rooms at what was once Tripoli's most prestigious hotel come with most of the luxury bells and whistles and it gets good reviews from travellers. It certainly does have a touch of class that's la…

We slept in this hotel on the first night it opened and have to say that we were impressed. The rooms are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms contain hairdryers and a nice basket of goodies, …

OK, so it's quite a long way (8km) east of town, but the Blue Boat Hotel is a popular place with large rooms and a good restaurant. We don't really see what the fuss is about when there are now p…

One of the closest hotels to Green Sq, Funduq al-Soraya has simple, drab but comfortable rooms. The location, off Sharia Omar al-Mukhtar, is as central as you'll find, staff are friendly and ther…

On the fringes of the down-at-heel Sharia al-Rashid district, Funduq an-Naher has rooms that vary in size but they're all pleasant and quieter than the area suggests. The larger ones with balcony…

This suites-only hotel is in a quiet street away from the traffic noise of downtown Tripoli and its large, semiluxurious rooms are extremely comfortable. They don't get too many tourists here whi…

Although this friendly hotel is a brisk 15-minute walk from Green Sq and the medina, it's one of the best midrange hotels in town. Set in a quiet residential street across from San Francisco Chur…

Seen in the light of the Corinthia's emergence, the Bab al-Bahar is anything but the five stars it claims to be. The rooms are fine if a little run-down and most afford good views over the town o…

Slightly cheaper than Funduq al-Andalus, this place is a comfortable option and some rooms at the back have distant views of the Mediterranean. If we have one criticism, and now we're getting pic…

This place is excellent if you're in town on business, although we're not sure that the addition of computers in each room (internet access costs around 5 per 24 hours) justified a doubling of it…

We mention this place for no reason other than that it's one of only two places to stay in the medina. Rooms are downright basic and you'll always feel that the staff wish they were sleeping or s…

At last a traditionally styled hotel in Tripoli's medina and it was definitely worth the wait. The rooms are arrayed around a charming, two-storey tiled courtyard and the 10 rooms and four suites…
