We had a very enjoyable and comfortable two days stay. No complaints. Our room was nice and spacious, with a bay window and seating area. You do need to be a bit agile to climb out of the shower, which is over a bath with high sides. We tried several of the restaurants and the cafe. All were good. Service can be a bit patchy, but really, who cares when you are in such lovely premises with outstanding garden areas. We were very pleased to have chosen to spend two nights here; one night is not enough to fully appreciate what is on offer.

Lovely classic old hotel. Perfect position to walk into town but also a bit on the quieter side too. Nice walks around quiet neighboring houses too. It’s a beautiful historic building with exceptional gardens. The rooms are spacious and older in style, so some people might not like the older quirks, but we loved it and would definitely recommend it. The staff were all very friendly and the food in the buffet breakfast was excellent plus the Indian restaurant on the entrance side of the property was great too. Loved our stay there.

It's a trip back into an imperial past, that is now open to many. High ceilings, a mix of wood floor and thick carpets, and staff in a range of uniforms. The level of English is good (sadly, my poor French wasn't up to the task of testing the staffs'). There is a good selection of eateries ranging from 'stuff yourself silly' to light bites. I highly recommend the Thai restaurant downstairs. I would avoid the coffee shop, where I was unsuccessful in attempting to buy over-priced cakes to take out - after the guy "serving" me walked off twice, to deal with other people, I decided that two can play the walking away game. So, overall good, if uneven.

A really lovely stay in a comfortable, clean hotel. The swimming pool is amazing and the gym is good too. Our room was very comfy and we had a good night sleep. The evening buffet and breakfast were also really nice.

We weren't please with the way we been treated by the staff and the conditions of the rooms given because first room we were given (Room 258) had a blocked toilet and we were given that room by the staff member knowingly that room had issues by the reception staff member because he told me that when I went for the checkout next day morning! In the middle of the night they moved us to Room 353 and it had NO COLD water therefore my husband had several burnt spots on his back which wasn't at all good. They weren't even apologized for what happened!!! After we left we we received email from Chinthana Bandara, Hotel Operations Manager, The Grand Hotel with incorrect information therefore I wrote to him BUT had no response from him yet... Not recommend this hotel unless they repair the hotel rooms up to the required standards

The only thing wrong with this hotel is its dark and gloomy interior with heavy dated furniture. This is meant to reflect its old colonial history - and it does - to my mind it’s overdone. An exception is the glorious light and beautiful indoor swimming pool. The staff are lovely and the food good, especially in the Thai Grand restaurant where it is outstanding. However, the ritual high tea which is famous is rather disappointing.

It’s a beautiful old world hotel with character.
The rooms are dated and the insulation between rooms is poor , you here sound and bathroom water sounds from the room next door and above. Service in the restaurants can be more attentive.

Very good and friendly service .Everything from our check in greeting to checking out ran very smoothly.
I am glad to see that they are now spending some money updating eg the pool and spa area.The rooms ,although comfortable,do need updating.
