Pearl Grand By Rathna

Reception staff amazing. Restaurant and bar lacking. Waiter kept pushing me to have a buffet and wouldn’t let me order from the menu twice during my stay. Clearly can’t be bothered to cook dishes on menu. Salad I had for lunch was terrible. Said Parmesan, but had none on the dish. Three bits of small chicken, basically laid for lettuce. Rooms were nice though.

My family and I stayed at this Pearl Grand for about 10 days in November 2023. We flew from Thailand and had guests join us from all around the world as it was my brother's wedding. I must admit, the staff was hands down very hospitable and they ensured that our family and the guests had everything we needed. The hotel provides a very homely vibe. The rooms were clean, the food was delicious at their hotel restaurant, and the rooftop bar came with a sea view! All our guests truly enjoyed their stay at Pearl Grand and it was a very memorable trip! Thank you for making our stay wonderful :)

Pearl Grand by Rathna's weekend high tea is a luxurious escape into indulgence, a perfect way to unwind and treat oneself to a world of culinary delights. 🇱🇰🍰✨

We asked for early check in and the desk staff made it our problem that they couldn’t find our reservation. Then they woke us up at 7am to tell us that we reserved the wrong month (which was caused by their own team). The rooms are smelly and in terrible shape, looks nothing like the pictures on Google maps. Cleaning staff was very friendly and helpful. Yes I don’t recommend to stay here.
