the hotel is a nice place for visit but it is not for businesspeople because the usuage of internnet is not included which normally all other hotels do in Asia. the staff need to bit more trained and the breakfast is not like it should be for a four star hotel. But the location is very good.

We stayed at the Grand hotel for three nights in September 2008. Had a room in the new wing on the third floor. The room was spacious and very clean. Coffee/tea maker, a well stocked mini bar and a safe. Comfortable beds, except from the pillows which I found quite hard. Bathroom ok, a bit on the basic side.
Staff very good. Friendly,helpful and efficient.
Nice breakfast with a good variety of dishes. The hotel also has a very pleasant pool area. The location right on the mainroad is great. Walking distance to just about everything. No traffic noise - at least not in our room. (311). A solid mid- range hotel.
Superb location, spacious rooms, and nice pool area.
Basic bathrooms.
- Restaurant Tip : Augustin, french bistro in Ton Thiep (next to Lemongrass) great, but simple food and good prices. The lamb is a "must try!" Skewers: very good food and nice ambience. Rooftop bar at the Caravelle hotel: have a drink before dinner. The view is fantastic.

Overall, not worth the money. Its a basic hotel, star rating at best is 3 star (or upper 2 star). We paid USD 150 per nite, but I think its only worth USD 65 at most. The hotel looks GRAND from the outside and its lobby. But the rooms are very basic. After a long day travelling (work & pleasure), you'd definitely want to come back to a comfortable, eye-pleasing, $150 room, but unfortunately you will be disappointed.
Good location, but there are many other less expensive hotels nearby as well. Look grand from the outside and lobby only.
Dont expect a 4-star luxury because there is none. Very basic offerings in the room. Furniture and fittings very old.
- Shopping Tip : There a nearby small shopping mall that offer great last-minute shopping. Be sure to bargain hard. Also a great Japanese fusioned restaurant.
