How we reviewed it
What owners say.
- 1 positive
- 1 mixed
Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
Brickset's reviewer finds it suitably grand, arguably the most imposing of the three Grand Hotels, and likes the light nougat color scheme, the wedding party and the unusual linked elevator mechanism. There are no distracting side builds beyond a luggage trolley.
The same reviewer dislikes how visible the elevator strings are, points out there is no way to summon a lift from the rooms, and finds it odd that a grand hotel has only 2 guest rooms and a shared bathroom. They call the price not unreasonable but not a bargain.
