Grand Hotel (Dombay): reviews of tourists

According to the ratings of one popular system of online booking of rooms, the hotel scored 8.5 out of 10 points, which is equal to the mark "very good". But if you read reviews on other sites, the picture appears less iridescent. The main complaints of the guests are connected with poor sanitary equipment, which is indicated by the administration as "expensive", almost complete lack of heating, cold towel warmers and refusal of the service staff to accept the shortcomings and correct them. Other guests stand up for the hotel and write that some of the guests behaved themselves disgustingly, and then also left negative feedback. In the end, everyone remains at the opinion: someone is happy with the spent rest, and someone is upset. Also, some emphasize that in the village of Dombai ("Grand Hotel") the price is overstated, although other holidaymakers consider it quite normal for a hotel of this level.

With what such different opinions are connected - it is not clear. Perhaps someone too biased to assess the work of staff and administration, or, conversely, positive feedback was written by the representatives of the complex. And go to the "Grand Hotel" or choose another hotel for recreation, it is necessary to decide on your own, depending on the overall impression and your own desire.
