I had a lovely birthday getaway at The Star Grand Hotel, but there were a few downsides too. While the room was stunning and the service excellent, some dining experiences didn’t quite hit the mark. Overall, I enjoyed the stay thanks to the friendly staff and beautiful amenities.

While Black Restaurant was decent, Sokyo for dinner felt rushed and didn’t offer a great experience on my husband's birthday. Room service left a lot to be desired as well, not what I expected from this caliber of hotel.

The heated pool was a huge hit, especially for families. It’s also great they offer free parking, which made getting around with a baby much easier.

The hotel is surrounded by construction, which was a bit disappointing, but the amenities and dining options made up for it. However, I did encounter some challenges with getting a taxi that dampened my experience slightly.

My stay at The Star Grand Hotel had its ups and downs. I loved the luxurious feel of the Dark Romance Studio with its beautiful color scheme and comfortable bed, but I faced some issues with service and maintenance. The amenities were impressive but the overall experience felt a bit rushed and underwhelming, especially considering the price I paid.

I had a lovely short stay at The Star Grand Hotel, enjoying my anniversary celebration. The room was exceptionally spacious and beautifully decorated, though we faced some noise issues due to renovations. The staff were fantastic, ensuring we felt welcomed. However, a few amenities like mini bar options were lacking, and the elevators were frustratingly slow at times.

The Royal Suite blew us away with its luxurious space and beautiful decor. It felt more like an apartment than a hotel room, though the pillows were overly firm for my liking.

I had a bit of a mixed experience during my stay. While the location was perfect for exploring the city and the views from my room were stunning, I encountered several issues that detracted from the overall experience. The noise levels were quite disruptive at night, and the staff training seemed inconsistent, impacting my check-in process. I appreciated the complimentary late check-out, but my room wasn't ready upon arrival, which was inconvenient. Overall, it had great potential but also considerable room for improvement. 🌆🙁
