Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the Grand Guesthouse. The rooms were smallish but very clean and comfortable. The air conditioner made a loud thumping noise, which was a bit disturbing during the night, but overall, the room was cozy. The warm temperature on the first night was a slight inconvenience.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were a little bit small for all the luggage but comfortable and clean, although smaller than what I expected compared to other cities like London or NYC. The service was top-notch; the staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional, going above and beyond to make my stay super accommodating. The location was perfect, offering a nice place to relax with attention to little details like glass plates and real silverware for breakfast. The dining experience was average, nothing special with pre-packaged muffins, but they did offer a decent selection of breakfast items. The facilities were good, no major complaints.
