I had an excellent room with a fablous view as always the staff at this hotel are the friendliest and most welcoming peopleI have encounted anywhere in the world will stay again loved my time here.
Room was very clean and housekeeping everyday. Supportive staff and great customer service, cool room and comfortable. We couldn't enter casino due to smoking inside casino.
Great hotel with a historic feel. Rooms appear to be recently renovated and clean. The staff are amazing. Every single one had the biggest and most welcoming smile. Really enjoyed my stay.
We spent 6 days at the Grand Hotel and we completely love it! Starting from the staff, they are such a lovely people who take care of all our needs and always with a smile on their faces.
The food was also delicious, and the view was glorious. We super recommend this place
Excellent location, minutes walk to town. Easily accessible to transportation and for tours.
Great service at reception.
Restaurant staff need to be a little more attentive to dining guests.
Would definitely come back
The Hotel and location are great, our issue was that next door to the hotel is a shipping dock and a shipyard, a barge was continuously running a bilge pump, and the ship yard continuously banging on the hull renovating an old ship, in turn very noisy during the day and night especially if out on the balcony.

Staff we lovely but construction work was bery noisy
This is a perfect spot to stay in the heart of Vila. Close to the markets and an easy walk to all that Vila has to offer. The pool and pool area are a great place to relax with a cold tusker. Like all places in Vanuatu, the staff is what makes the stay special. Everyone goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was also fantastic. Overall I would recommend if you want to stay in the heart of Vila.

We were upgraded to the top level from our panoramic room booking. It looks like this room was recently renovated. Great views to irikiri & beyond. Would recommend going elsewhere for food. We had the buffet breakfast & the offering was pretty poor for the price.
