A little rundown in places but that’s why the price is low, and I hope no-one “improves” it any time soon! Do not use the tuk-tuk drivers outside the hotel, or believe anyone who tells you “today is a special day”These people are nothing to do with the hotel. Solo women travellers especially beware ##### Hilary Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jill 18 Jan 2026 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was really lovely, the breakfast was good, and the lobby looks great, but that’s where the compliments end. I wasn’t expecting a luxury hotel, and I understand a full renovation would costs millions, but my room was a mess. The furniture was ripped and scuffed, the tv was broken, only two outlets worked so I had to unplug and replug stuff all the time, the teapot was dirty and missing a lid, the toilet paper holder fell off the wall…. I could go on, but instead I’ll just suggest any future guests manage their expectations. ##### Jill Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Peer Olav 27 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities Very old and historic place and you can get a great place for small money. The crew is really helpful and try what they can. ##### Peer Olav Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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. ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Collin Egerton Cuthbert 4 Jul 2024 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. ##### Collin Egerton Cuthbert Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stefan 16 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 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. ##### Stefan Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARGARET 1 Feb 2024 Liked: Amenities 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 ##### MARGARET Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 3 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities 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 ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### RAJESH 15 Oct 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities 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. ##### RAJESH Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julie 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness #### Overnight stay Ok for an overnight stay as we were moving on early next morning ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claude 28 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I truly enjoyed my stay here. I loved the historical significance of this hotel. I rated it exceptionally well because one must understand that the hotel is over 175 years old.

They just said ok but did not execute. 2) The bath tub is bit slippery and water was not flowing out smoothly. I told about this to room service but nobody attended for that too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andreas 26 Jan 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hier erwarte ich Geld zurück das ist nicht erledigt mit tut uns leid.
