Although nothing to do with the international chain of the same name, this new hotel comes highly recommended for its large, comfortable rooms, internet connections in each room for those with laptops (the suites have PCs) and very friendly service. The decoration is over-the-top… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 stylish than most and there's plenty of natural light in most rooms. Service is also atte… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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, you'll realise how rare that is. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 back have no windows. Even some at the front could do with more natural light, but that… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 can be superb. Impersonal service, an airport-style X-ray machine at the door and ser… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 to open your suitcase. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 lacking in other government hotels and there are great views from the upper floors. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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, which probably justifies the fact that this hotel is slightly more expensive than oth… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 plenty of high-quality places closer to the centre, but travellers we spoke to were ha… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 there's an internet café next to the lobby. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 are semiluxurious and come with minibar, phone and satellite TV. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 which may be reason enough to consider it. There's a very good restaurant downstairs. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 Church, it has spacious if simple rooms with balconies (some overlook the church), a laun… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 or Mediterranean. The service is, however, woeful and prices unreasonably high for wha… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

With a good seafront location and decent rooms, this is one of the best budget choices in town. Its problem is that it's a popular place with both tourists and local businessmen and maintenance standards aren't what they could be; some bathrooms are ageing fast. Be aware also tha… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Another new place that doesn't see as many tourists as it deserves, Funduq Dekna has large, bright rooms which are worth every dinar. Service is friendly once they warm up, internet connection in every room is free and you're a 10-minute walk from the medina. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This place stands out for its location, just a few blocks east of Green Sq, making it one of the most convenient places to sleep in town. The rooms are unspectacular, although they're tidy and reasonable value for money. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 picky, the brown carpet makes the rooms look older than they are, but it's a good packag… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 its prices since we were last here. The rooms are large and very well appointed and the… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

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 are brimming with character - vaulted ceilings, elevated traditional Libyan beds and… Full Lonely Planet Review ›
