LE GRAND HOTEL GRENOBLE CENTRE

This is a pleasant and welcoming hotel. We chose it because it is central and offers parking - which costs because it is a valet system but takes a lot of hassle out of driving around an unfamiliar city centre which has just been pedestrianised. Staff were helpful and the breakfast good.

I stayed here for a business trip. Staff were extremely friendly with excellent English. The room is quite small by Irish standards but it a decent size for France. There is a balcony but it is tiny (about 18inches wide!). The bathroom is lovely and modern. There are very few English speaking channels but there are movies on the TV and they have good wifi if you bring your laptop to watch tv. The breakfast is buffet style, but at 20e per person is quite expensive. There is an array of pastries, fruit, cheese, smoked salmon, cured meats and different styles of freshly cooked eggs. However if I was staying here for pleasure there are so many restaurants and bakeries nearby you would be better going out. There are not many facilities in the hotel either, such as a gym which I think is always an advantage when you appeal to business travellers who may have quite a lot of spare time in the evenings.

The Grand Hotel Grenoble is a beautifully appointed boutique style hotel in the centre of Grenoble. Rooms are not very large but modern and well equipped. Excellent bar and breakfast. Parking just across the street. Downtown Grenoble with shopping and dining opportunities just around the corner. Friendly staff.

The hotel is good equipped. Rooms are not to big, but well designed. Comfortable bed, big bathroom with separated toilet. You will get help with your luggage and they will park your car for 19€. Breakfast we have not tried, because we are not the big eater and for me it has looked nice but not worth 19€. Breakfast is served until 11:00 so perfect for late morning people. Around the hotel you will find plenty of options to eat or drink something. You will get a welcome glass of Champagne from the hotel. Personal is really helpful and professionally. But the hotel has on all windows and balconies neon light which will not be switched off until 23:00. There is no protection to the inside of the room and so you will have full light. If you like to open the windows (like we do, because we hate to be or sleep in the room with closed curtains) you will get plenty of mosquitos inside. The next morning we could kill 11 mosquitos full of our red liquid. Brrrr. So this is for us a reason to come not back to this hotel, even it was nice.

I stayed here on a business trip for ~10 days. Pros: The hotel location is fantastic. It's within walking distance of countless restaurants. You can also walk to the base of the cable car that goes to the top of the Bastille. It's right across the street from a Monoprix and a block from the tram stop. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is convenient, and the staff are very attentive. The bed was really comfortable and helped adjust to the jet lag faster. The room (on the back side of the 3rd floor) was very quiet, and the room had a view of the Chartreuse mountains. It was breathtaking to pull back the curtains in the morning and see the sun reflecting off the mountain and open the window for some fresh air. Cons: It's pretty minor, but the bathroom was a little too modern for me. The faucet was too tall and every time I washed my hands I'd inevitably get my clothes wet. While the shower was tall enough and had a large spray head, there was no divider between the shower and the rest of the bathroom so the whole floor got wet. While the breakfast was delicious, it was the same thing day after day, which got old after 10 days. It was also pretty expensive (20 EUR). Also pretty minor, but the room temperature seemed to be slightly hot one night and slightly cold the next night. The bed only had a thick duvet so regulating temperature was more difficult. It would have been nice to have a sheet under the duvet. Overall a very enjoyable stay. I would definitely stay here again!
