Corinthia Hotel Tripoli

A pleasant stay and perfect for a business trip...to be honest it is the only 5 star hotel in Tripoli so the choice was obvious but I was impressed by the quality and state of the facilities in general and the room in specific...everything is well maintained and the room is clean and neat...only concerns are level of service needs to be upgraded and breakfast buffet needs a serious upgrade on variety of offerings

Need to have cleaner beds and pillows Excellent location Breakfast ok and very limited selection, best is boiled egg and yougurt and very bad coffee Nearby market with reasonable prices Not possible to exchange currency Low service level receptionist

We stayed here for five nights as tourists and very much enjoyed our stay. It's the best hotel in Western Libya and is a short walk to the old city and about 20 minutes to the Mitiga airport. The hotel is very secure with all cars checked by a sniffer dog for explosives and all luggage searched with an X ray machine before you can enter the lobby. You can't even drive up alongside the lobby with your bags but need to park a little way away and lug your bags in to the hotel. The lobby is spacious and the receptionists were friendly and quickly checked us in. Our room was also very spacious and clean with a nice sea view. Beds were comfy and there is both a bathtub and shower. There is free WIFI which worked in the lobby but we weren't able to get it to connect in our room. (You can buy a Libyan SIM card quickly at the airport for 5 Euros (20 GB). On one day (a Friday) our room wasn't serviced. But when we asked for clean towels the attendant who delivered them asked us if we wanted the room serviced and it was done for us. The buffet breakfast was good but not exceptional: the danish and croissants were especially lack lustre. Still lots of healthy choices and a chef that makes eggs and crepes to order. Service was also hit and miss. The highlight of the hotel for us was the spa with a spacious indoor and outdoor pool and large sauna and steam room facilities. They also have a well equipped gym. This is open until 10 PM. The attendants there are all very friendly and helpful. There were numerous conferences during our stay but few overnight guests. We would happily stay here again despite the few service irregularities mentioned.
