Gute Lage und nette Betreuung

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral und hat besonderen Charme. Einige Gebäudeteile sollten renoviert werden, um dem Zerfall entgegen zu kommen. Betr. SPA wurden wir leider nicht informiert, dass dies im Hotel zur Verfügung steht. Schade, erst bei der Abreise bemerkt. Wollten eine Nacht länger bleiben, ausgebucht, Wollten bei der Rückreise nochmals übernachten, leider ausgebucht. Preis / Leistung OK.

Vihdoinkin Sri Lankassa

Mieheni on kiertänyt maailmaa paljon. Kysyin häneltä, minne sellaiseen paikkaan haluaisit vielä mennä, missä olet ennen käynyt. Hänen vastauksensa tuli heti Sri Lankaan. Hän on yöpynyt Grand Orientalissa enenkin, joten oli luonnollista, että varasimme hotelliin. Rakennus on kaunis, vanha , mutta saanut jo hieman ' ryppyjä'. Paikka on mitä parhain. Ravintolan illallisella on mukava katsella sataman valoja. Huoneetkin ovat vanhanaikaiset, mutta siistit. Henkilökunta kohteliasta ja puhuvat hyvin englantia, vaikkakin liian hiljaa, pitää kysyä usein toistamaan. Aamiainen hyvä ja valinnanvaraa löytyy, samoin kuin illallinen. Kaikkialla soi kaunis musiikki. Suosittelen heille, jotka pitävät vanhanajan hengestä. Ehkäpä ei nuorisolle!

Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen

Ich habe zwei Nächte im Grand Oriental verbracht. Dieses Hotel müsste dringend renoviert werden, da es sehr in die Jahre gekommen ist. Essen in Ordnung. Wifi Verbindung sehr schlecht und stürzt ständig ab. Unkompetentes, dennoch freundliches Personal. Lage zentral und der Bahnhof ist nur ein paar Blocks entfernt.
