Grand Palace Hotel – Small Luxury Hotels of the World

10/10 Excellent
"Me and my fiancé had a wonderful experience. The location was very nice. Right in the middle of the action. The only thing I would say is that the property could be maintained a little better. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful. The staff was very helpful and super friendly."
