Very old and historic place and you can get a great place for small money. The crew is really helpful and try what they can.

Nice property , value for money. Needs improvements to restore this Land Mark of a hotel in Sri Lanka . It is a Historical Site
Felix N., 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What can I say? Not a five-star hotel, but a five-star value and historical relic. Queen Elizabeth and Chekov stayed here, so can you. Perfectly clean and adequate, centrally located.
Thomas, 2-night trip

Lovely Historical building. We had a large room but the water would not get hot or even warm for showers. Hotel just needs to have a bit of a update with new sheets and refurbished bathrooms. We still enjoyed our stay though as the location is great.

My room (301) was the one where Queen Elizabeth the Second stayed when she visited the colony according to the information of the hotel’s history I saw on the wall of the corridor. Awesome!

Too old building though the entrance look good It took around 15minutes to run hot water.

This is a very old hotel and the rooms are very old too. The saving grace are the staff. They are ALL fantastic. One person in particular needs a special mention is Mr Chandika the reception manager. He was just amazingly helpful. M

Very old proberty but rooms are much more large.

A bit worn out, but beautiful historical building
It was close to what I expected, maybe the only two surprises were how huge the rooms were and how much history is there behind this hotel. With all that, with a little more effort in maintaining it, they could make it a dream place. But on the other hand it would probably be much more expensive then, so I kind of liked it as it is.

8/10 Very good

The Grand Oriental is a wonderful building. Unfortunately it has been unsympatheticly renovated many years ago and is tired and worn which maked it difficult for staff to keep it clean. On the plus side its $1.50 $AUS tuk tuk ride any nunber of great places. It's got a great dinnig room, open all day And the staff are terrifically helpful And it was only $35 aus a night. I arrived at 1.30 am and it was a bit of a shock but after 4 nights I'd stay there again

The property is old and not maintained well. First room no hot water on first night. Second day water flooding due to AC break down in room. Room change on second day. Limited choice for breakfast. Daily choice of eggs toast butter jam and tea and coffee. Very difficult to order from menu for Lunch or Dinner, Buffet choice every day.

Altes, kostengünstiges Hotel
Wir waren das dritte Mal während des Urlaubs im Grand Oriental und wussten daher, was uns erwartet. Das Hotel ist baufällig, nach wie vor günstig gelegen, das Frühstück gut und die Übernachtungskosten niedrig. Die Klimaanlage im Foyer könnte mal eine Überholung gebrauchen, die Luft, die sie verströmt, riecht nicht gerade frisch. Auf unserem Zimmer, das sehr geräumig und u.a. mit Kühlschrank, funktionierendem Tresor und bequemer Matratze ausgestattet war, kam angenehme Luft aus der Klimaanlage. Worüber ich mich geärgert habe, ist, dass ich alte Frau meinen schweren Rucksack selbst schleppen musste. Keiner der livrierten Herren, die um die Rezeption herumstanden, fühlte sich berufen.

Hotel mit kleinen Mängeln, aber wir kommen wieder
Das Hotel hat bessere Zeiten erlebt, daher ist es preisgünstig. Hervorragende Lage! Stadtrundgang, Weg zum Abendessen (im Dutch Hospital - sehr zu empfehlen!) vom Hotel aus zu Fuß zu starten. Geräumiges Zimmer mit großem Schrank, Kosmetiktisch, Sofa, -tisch, Fernseher, Wasserkocher (Instantkaffee, Teebeutel), AC. Superbequeme Matratze Frühstücksbuffet (im großen Harbour Room - Blick auf Containerhafen) bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas. Toast mit Butter und Marmelade, Kuchen, Eierspeisen, Obst, zwei warme Curry-Gerichte mit Brot/Reis – sehr lecker. Nach fehlendem fragen! Joghurt / Wasser z.B. standen nicht bereit, gab es aber. Wir sind nicht pingelig, Staubbelag auf Möbeln, in Ecken stört uns nicht. Kühlschrank kühlt trotz Höllenlärm nicht. Im Schrank: zwei kleine Tresore. Einer festverschraubt – tot! Der zweite, einfach so in den Schrank gestellte, piepte auf Tastendruck. Tür leider zu - auch nicht nutzbar. Angestellter konnte nicht weiterhelfen, versprach wiederzukommen, ward nicht mehr gesehen. Wasser in Dusche nur lauwarm, Wasser aus Hahn am Waschbecken zum Fingerverbrennen heiß. Wenige Steckdosen. Wer mehreres gleichzeitig laden möchte: Dreifachsteckdose einpacken! Am Ausreisetag mussten wir "nur" bis zur Busstation. Van des Hauses wurde nicht angeboten. Wir hätten dafür bezahlt.In TulTuk gequetscht - für 2 normalgroße Europäer, 2 große, 2 kleine Rucksäcke arg knapp. Aber: wir kommen wieder her. Wenn man weiß, worauf man sich einlässt, ist das Hotel empfehlenswert.
