I had high hopes for my stay at Grand Central Hotel, especially given its central location near the metro and good dining options. However, the experience was marred by loud music at night and less than welcoming staff. While my room was spacious and clean, the overall vibe of the hotel felt chaotic, with long waits for both check-in and breakfast. I left feeling more stressed than relaxed.

My stay at Grand Central Hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the room was spacious, clean, and featured a comfortable bed, the check-in process was frustrating and the facilities left something to be desired. Additionally, the pool was disappointingly small. But the hotel's location was excellent, providing easy access to public transport and local eateries.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was quite spacious and well-kept, although it had no hot and cold water options in the bathroom. I did enjoy the comfy bed and plentiful toiletries, but could have done with better TV options and a cleaner ambiance.

Service

The staff were friendly and very responsive, especially the receptionist Francis, who added a personal touch to my experience. However, the check-in process was long, taking almost an hour, which was far from convenient.

The location was a definite highlight for me. It was conveniently close to Al Rigga metro station, allowing easy access to the rest of the city. Plus, there were plenty of inexpensive dining options within a short walking distance.

Dining

5.0

I found the dining options mediocre overall, with the buffet lunch lacking variety and flavor. However, breakfast was enjoyable, especially if you have a sweet tooth, as many items were syrup-laden.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were underwhelming, particularly the small pool area that I didn’t use. The lack of other amenities like a gym or a full-service spa also disappointed me during my stay.

While the hotel's proximity to the airport was a plus, I faced significant issues with the reception staff that left a sour taste in my experience.

Overall, it was an average stay with some lovely highlights but also some frustrating moments. 😊
