We got a free upgrade to a junior suite, which was lovely with a separate sitting area and a nice coffee machine. We spent a good bit of time in the spa, it was all beautifully tiled with lots of things to try. We also had massages which were wonderful and relaxing! Breakfast was delicious with a wide selection to choose from.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Ate in restaurant, sampled a number of cocktails and wines and thought breakfast was of very good quality. Room well appointed. Something that let the hotel down was low quality, small and coarse bath towels, pillows that needed renewed. One safety issue noted in bedrooms that I think they need to address also in the turn of the wall outside of the bathrooms. The space between the area between where the suitcase stand is and the space between there and the wall has a very sharp edged surface to it. There could be a sympathetic edging to reduce the risk of injury, but it is a risk and we both noticed it. Overall a great stay.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Grand Poet. Great location, with an easy walk to everywhere, yet away from the noisy crowds. Lovely, spacious room, comfortable bed with super soft sheets, beautiful bathroom also. Breakfast was plentiful, including lactose and gluten free options. The Snob bar staff was also very friendly, reserving a table and turning the tv to tennis channel for us. All in all one of the best hotel stays and would happily stay here again!
