Lovely Historical building. We had a large room but the water would not get hot or even warm for showers. Hotel just needs to have a bit of a update with new sheets and refurbished bathrooms. We still enjoyed our stay though as the location is great.

What can I say? Not a five-star hotel, but a five-star value and historical relic. Queen Elizabeth and Chekov stayed here, so can you. Perfectly clean and adequate, centrally located.

This is a very old hotel and the rooms are very old too. The saving grace are the staff. They are ALL fantastic. One person in particular needs a special mention is Mr Chandika the reception manager. He was just amazingly helpful. M

The Grand Oriental is a wonderful building. Unfortunately it has been unsympatheticly renovated many years ago and is tired and worn which maked it difficult for staff to keep it clean. On the plus side its $1.50 $AUS tuk tuk ride any nunber of great places. It's got a great dinnig room, open all day And the staff are terrifically helpful And it was only $35 aus a night. I arrived at 1.30 am and it was a bit of a shock but after 4 nights I'd stay there again

The property is old and not maintained well. First room no hot water on first night. Second day water flooding due to AC break down in room. Room change on second day. Limited choice for breakfast. Daily choice of eggs toast butter jam and tea and coffee. Very difficult to order from menu for Lunch or Dinner, Buffet choice every day.

A bit worn out, but beautiful historical building
It was close to what I expected, maybe the only two surprises were how huge the rooms were and how much history is there behind this hotel. With all that, with a little more effort in maintaining it, they could make it a dream place. But on the other hand it would probably be much more expensive then, so I kind of liked it as it is.

Ein Hotel mit Geschichte. Man spürt den Geist des Reisens. Es ist ein großer Augenblick für mich in diesem ehrwürdigen Hotel zu übernachten. Die Drinks und der Seafood-Salat im 4. Stock mit grandioser Aussicht sind empfehlenswert. Die Betten sind ausgezeichnet.

外観は素敵
外観は立派だけど、ホットシャワーはでなし。 朝食込みですか？と確認したら4階に案内されたけど別料金で、朝食ビュッフェもまぁまぁだった。なぜか従業員にセルフィーを求められて、顔を頬にくっつけてきてとても不快でした。笑 ベッドは快適でした！

Godt hotel til pengene
Et nedslidt hotel, venligt personale. Stort værelse og god seng. Dog ikke varmt vand på badeværelset hele tiden. Morgenmaden var god, ikke et bredt udvalg, men fint det der var.
