This property is not easily accessible for individuals with mobility issues - 12 steps up from street to lobby. Room was on 2nd floor with no elevator. Had to lug suitcase up 25 steps in spiral staircase -- with only handrail on half of that staircase.

Great view rest we could skip.
Located on edge of town with only one terrible restaurant within walking distance. Room had zero charm. Hotel veranda was lovely but very limited seating and it was the only place to sit on the property. With such a huge veranda and great view they could easily add more couches.

Clean, friendly spot
The Grand Hotel had nice views from the front and was clean. The rooms were simple but had all the basics. The cheaper rooms at the back look right at an embankment. Breakfast was a standard european spread of cold cuts, toast, yogurt, etc. Street parking seemed limited although we had a couple options for spots.

Room was clean with a nice sized terrace (only 2 chairs despite it being a family room). The room lacked shutters/ black out curtains. Every morning we couldn't sleep past 6am because of the light and then had to wait until 8am for breakfast. Breakfast included was not good value for money 15€/ head to buy at the hotel. The juice was watery, croissants felt like they were ultra processed, two choices of cereal on the two ends of the spectrum special K v chocolate! The hotel is around 10-15 minute walk to the harbour/ boat tours. Free parking on the main street outside the hotel (but something tells me it will get busy in the summer). Felt a bit expensive for the room standard/quality and the time of year.

Pros: sea view room had one of the best views I’ve ever seen. Also A/c works perfectly. Staff are awesome, Thiam helped us out when we were unable to get a taxi in another part of the island to get back. Con: there is no lift, and a lot of stairs. It’s useless for someone with mobility issues. Also after midnight they just leave the hotel unattended. Keys left on the counter (which includes the key to the safe). Hotel just open for anyone to come in and help themselves.

Arrivati alle 22 di sera, scopriamo che non c’è alcun posto nel parcheggio coperto e che anche in strada è difficile parcheggiare. Veniamo accolti da una lunga scalinata, senza ascensore e senza l’aiuto di qualcuno dell’albergo per salire i bagagli. Stesso discorso all’interno dell’hotel, si sale al primo piano senza ascensore. Stanza è una bat caverna fredda e umida, abbiamo acceso il condizionatore per riscaldarla e riportarla ad una temperatura accettabile. Letto scomodo e bagno che emana una puzza insopportabile. Colazione scadente, tutto confezionato e cornetti congelati, nessun servizio.

Toller Ausblick über Palau. Unbedingt ein Zimmer mit Meerblick/Balkon buchen. Schöner Blick auch vom Frühstücksraum. Das Haus ist schon älter, die Zimmer sind aber renoviert und hergerichtet. Das Personal ist freundlich. Frühstück ist ok mit Croissants, Müsli, Käse und gutem Kaffee etc. Zu Fuß kann man in die Stadt, zum Hafen und an den Strand laufen. Parken ist an der Straße problemlos möglich.
