Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Grand Hotel is a nice place with a good location to see Nuwara Eliya. The hotel itself was very nice, but the rooms were poor, and need an upgrade. The Thai restaurant made amazing food.
But! The staff at this property were the worst I have ever experienced, and my family and I experienced several situations with issues. First there was an issue with my mom wanting to go to the pool, which she was told she could, but when she got down to the pool area, she was told she was not allowed, even though there were only three people there and 12 empty chairs, so she was sent back to her room. Secondly, my dad wanted to enter the gym and sauna, and was told the same, he could not enter, event though nobody was there. The staff was so unfriendly and not helpful at all. Lastly, the worst things of all was, that we had paid for 4 breakfasts, but my wife could not join the trip, so we had paid for one extra and wanted to invite our Sri Lankan friend to join us for breakfast. The staff made a big issue with this, and that we had to pay for one extra, even though we were still four people, so we ended up paying for 5 breakfasts and only being 4. We were not met at all, and they were so unpolite to us the entire stay. When we checked out, the staff asked how our stay was, and we said it had not been good due to the many issues we had, and then the staff just walked away to another couple and asked them about their stay, so not listening at all. I would NOT recommend this place.
