“Fading grandeur”

Excellent location right next to Beomeo metro exit 3 station and a great food and bar street and Chicago jazz and blues bar Inside there's large on site Starbucks and breakfast on 5th Our king size room was on the 12th top floor It's all very nice and convenient but a refresh is a looming need

“Not a bad place but a bit outdated”

The Grand hotel is located a bit out of the center. For westerners very difficult to find restaurants.

The Grand hotel is located a bit out of the center. For westerners very difficult to find restaurants. Most around the hotel are small and Korean style, no real western food, no English menu and not even pictures to can choose from. I ended up having to use McDonald's food delivery via Korean McDo app. Almost every dinner McDo is not an option, bad taste, arrives cold and only after long waiting times and sometimes arrives never...There is clearly no western infrastucture around the hotel. The hotel itsellf is a 12floor building with many rooms. It also has a restaurant on 3F but it was closed! On the ground floor is a Starbucks with Korean tasting western food, means everything is sugar coated even the Mexican chicken burrito... The front desk personnel is kind and helpful, their English is good, no communication issues at all. There is no executive lounge. The executive room was not too small. There was a desk and n old style chair too. The bed large and comfortable, bed linen clean and not cleaned with aggressive chemicals, my skin wasn't itchy like in some other places. The room 1288 was not in a bad over all condition but looked outdated, old hotel, old rooms. In need of some upgrade and facelift maybe also including a new carpet. What I didn't like is the poor cleaning: I left some small packaging garbage on the floor of the bathroom, where it did not get picked up. The carpet is old and in need of a deep cleaning. If you walk out from the bathroom with slightly wet feet, you will have many long black hairs on yout feet, disgusting. Also corners and other not so exposed areas don't see much cleaning. Especially at corona times, I would very much wish to have more serious cleaning. Next to the bed was no any power outlet, really bad if you want to have your phone near to you while charging it over night. I don't understand this, it is a total "no go" for me not to be able to find any sockets at the bed !!! Huge flat tv with very very few foreign channels, CNN and BBC and Bloomberg are available, otherwise some Chinese and Japenese. Not a lot of choices for Non-Koreans. The laundry charges are far to high. The breakfast mostly Korean style or what Koreans believe to be western. Disappointing to have not enough choices, every day the same food. Long stayer, be warned, after a few days you will wish to have some changes... So all in all, this hotel is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. The hotel was not a bad place for a short stay with kind staff, but nobody "strives or goes out if his way to deliver a remarkable experience". A good hotel clearly needs to do better than that. I might come back, also due to the fact, that at this moment, when Novotel is closed, there are not many good hotels in Daegu. What they need is some upscale international hotels to have more competition! I heard, Marriott is almost finished and will soon open...
