The rooms are decent sized, but no aircon, sound proofing was no good as the room are right above the bar and they have seating outside so all the noise came through the windows as they have to be opened to-try and cool the room

It had everything needed for a simple one night stay - a secure swipe card system, a good TV, tea and coffee making, a large comfortable bed and the share bathroom was clean with a good shower. Other reviews mentioned slow hot water (as did the manager) but I had no problem with it - it came straight on.

The 2 ladies who checked me in were absolutely beautiful! (One offered me a very much needed bottle of water after a long trip). The area is easy access to multiple shops so its convenient and you can grab a taxi/uber out front easily!

Where do I start? No hot water at all (makes for interesting showers) and no working light in the room. I've stayed in accommodations all over the world and the only equivalent I've seen to the Grand Hotel was in sub-Saharan Africa.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!
