Beds were exceptionally comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep. The bathroom was modern and well-appointed, with high-quality amenities. The gym was also very good by hotel standards and exceeded expectations.
5 star prices but 3 star value. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Very poor internet connectivity and inadequate heating in the room. Manager refused to meet to discuss or resolve the issues.
Gorgeous hotel! Friendly helpful staff! 10/10 .. Would definitely stay here again!

The Grand Hotel was wonderful and clean, however front desk weren't very helpful when we arrived. They explained nothing about the Breakfast nor where the gym and Spa were located. They weren't really helpful. However the hotel is clean and located very centrally.
Our room was as stunningly beautiful as the rest of the hotel. The staff was exceptional. I love the convenience of The location as well. We will be back again and again and again and again.
What a beautiful hotel with exceptional service and staff. The room was lovely and very clean. We especially love the robes and slippers and the evening turn down service with extra towels. Easy access to the sights and restaurants as well.
This hotel is a classic, historic, stunning building. The staff, from the doorman to reception to the restaurant, are all exceptional. Always eager to do whatever they can to elevate your experience.
