Grand Hotel Vittoria

well located

the room smelled cigarette.

The shower pressure was very good. Staff were friendly.

The air con was truly dreadful. It was very hot on arrival (37 degrees) and the air con turned up to max was barely detectable. The same was true of the public areas and the hotel was generally hot and sticky. Thankfully we had a storm which lowered the temperature outside to 22 and we could therefore open the windows to cool down overnight. Generally the hotel is very dated. For example, the room info advises that they are happy to arrange for your photographic films to be developed for you during your stay! I can imagine it would have been the height of luxury maybe 30 years ago but times have changed and this hotel has not kept up with expectations of a 4/5 star hotel. The hotel does not have secure parking of its own. You gave to arrange it in advance and then you can park in The Savoy which is half a kilometre away but only if they have space for you. The streets immediately next to the hotel where you are expected to park are VERY narrow and we had trouble manoeuvring our Tesla X through them. Restaurant food was pretty basic and, although there were lots of cakes at breakfast, the only hot food was scrambled egg or boiled egg. The coffee was very good though.
