This hotel has a variety of experiences. While the location is fantastic, being close to numerous eateries and attractions, the service and dining options left much to be desired. The room I stayed in was adequate but lacked some basic amenities. Overall, it's convenient, but not ideal for a comfortable stay.

I stayed at the Grand International hotel and had a lovely experience overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the cleaning was done daily, which I appreciated. The location is perfect, with plenty of dining options nearby and easy access to public transport. However, the service was a mixed bag; while the concierge was helpful, the front desk staff could improve their friendliness. I also found the dining options, especially breakfast, to be lacking in quality. Overall, it's a good value for the money, just with some areas needing attention.

I found the hotel to be a decent option for travelers on a budget, especially given its prime location. The room I stayed in was spacious and clean, but I can't ignore the overwhelming smell that hit me as soon as I entered. The breakfast was very basic, with limited options, and the service was quite lacking when it came to fulfilling requests. The pool area was a nice touch, but overall, it was not the best experience considering the price I paid.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, with plenty of nearby dining options and attractions. However, the service was lacking, particularly at the front desk, and the rooms could use some attention to details, like cleanliness and maintenance. The pool area was a highlight, but it felt a bit unsafe. Overall, it’s an affordable stay, but I would consider other options next time.

I had high hopes for our stay at the Grand International Hotel, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The rooms were uncomfortable, the breakfast was dreadful, and service was lacking. While the price might seem fair, the overall experience did not meet expectations, especially with my husband's bout of food poisoning. Unfortunately, we will not return to this hotel again.
