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.

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

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. However, I did enjoy the spacious room, the delicious complimentary breakfast, and the friendly demeanor of some staff members. Overall, it was an average stay with some lovely highlights but also some frustrating moments. 😊
