Grand Villa Heights

Grand Villa Heights

8/10 Good
"We had a lovely stay at Grandvilla Heights and really enjoyed our time there. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The only downside was that we were allocated a room on the third floor with an attic-style layout. While it offered plenty of space, the sloping ceiling meant we had to be careful not to bump our heads, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and we would still recommend the property."
