My wife and I have just returned from one of the most relaxing holidays thanks to the efficiency, friendliness and courtesy of the management and staff of the Corinthia Grand Royal Palace Hotel.
Room was spacious, comfortable, and well appointed.
Meals were exellent.
Concierge top class
Front desk staff friendly
Assistant managers and waiters exemplary (one compulsory 'character')
Leisure facilities - pool, sauna, jacuzzi etc. were exceptional, very well maintained and the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming.
During our stay we visited another 5 star hotel in the city, more modern,with glitz and glass and stainless steel, but frostily efficient by comparison. If you want sterility masquerading as service and haughtiness as competence, that would be the one for you. If, however, you want a pleasant hotel that preserves the standards of the past and the comforts of the present, then the Corinthia is for you.
