Grand Regal Hotel

The worst stay ever. It's not a 5 star hotel it is a lodge. Just checked out today. The receptionist named Champa made us wait for the Check-in coz she was busy with her own work. She asked us to wait for 30mins and was very rude. We wanted to change our hotel but couldn't do so coz we had already paid for our hotel through discover Qatar. The elevator and the room smells full of cigarettes. The kettle was broken and the worst thing is there were cockroaches in the room. The hotel is not good for a staycation. Will never recommend this hotel. Bad place

They said the was a jacuzzi but when you arrive the jacuzzi has been out of service for months, besides the pool is disgusting filled with bird poop and when we asked it to be cleaned he put the dirt back in the pool we almost threw up, the gym looks like a morgue and the hotel looks like a ghost house, there are much better hotels nearby

Very nice hotel but the after service needs a lot to be desired. I left my shirt after my stay, sent a message via their inbox and I am still awaiting a reply 3 weeks later. Lovely food at the upstairs pub.

Stayed in Grand Regal Hotel for 4 nights. Services are very slow. During check in, they didnot have my details, which they found out after giving my booking paper. Surprisingly Swimming pool time starts at 10 am. Which tourist will go for swimming at 10 am. Tourist come to roam around in doha in day time. Not for swimming in day time. And it's a very small pool and dirty water. Housekeeping doesn't replenish shoe shiner. Had to request them for shoe shiner. Intercom phone was not working. Torned carpet on the sides. They took around 20-30 minutes for taking luggage and in checkout process. How come Doha Tourism has given 5 star to them? Should not give more than 3 star

Forced stay due to flight cancellation. Used by Qatar airways. The bed was clean which is really the only good thing. Food was very basic and pretty boring. Although the menu in the room was extensive i got offered room service for dinner with 3 choices. Came on a plastic tray very similar to airline style. Spent 24 hrs here..time I will never back back! Not ideal

Fantastic air condition. This was a forced stay from a missed flight. Buffet was open until midnight. I had three meals there and all were much the same. First impressions were a grand old lady of a hotel but is a little dated. Some maintenance needs to be done. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bonus room had two types os power so could charge phone as I didn't have luggage. Room was comfortable and walking distance to many attractions

Due to a six AM flight to Manilla, Becca and I decided to stay in Davao for two days before my final departure from the Philippines. We wanted to stay in the Water Front Insular Resort where we had stayed previously and really enjoyed. But it was not available for our dates. Therefore, I half-assed looked for a place myself and came across the Grand Regal Hotel. It seemed like a really good deal for the Premium Deluxe Room for only $75.00 a night, but immediately after booking, I found this was the biggest mistake of my vacation. Right after clicking accept the accommodations, it showed me the bill for the place and the no refund policy. For a room that should have only cost me a 150.22, it turned out to be a total of $270.02 after Extra Person Fees and Tax Recovery Charges. This charge included the estimated amount they pay the hotel for occupancy related taxes owed by the hotel and any amounts charged to them for resort fees, cleaning fees, and other fees. The balance of the charge is a fee they, the hotel supplier and/or the website I booked on, retain as part of the compensation for their services which varies based on factors such as location, the amount, and how I booked. I booked on their website for one. And I wasn’t notified of any of this policy until after I paid for the room. Then it showed there was a no refund policy. This should be illegal. I knew I was screwed. When we arrived, we found the place at one time may have been the crème del a crème of Davao City. Now, it shows considerable age as renovations obviously haven’t been attempted in some time. Carpeting is quite worn and some painting could be attempted. We were not met by any bell hops to help with our luggage as we carried our own inside. Then a bell hop brought a cart over and loaded for us. Reception was over staffed yet we still had to wait twenty minutes to be checked in by a rude/non-receptive staff. When we got to our room, it was nothing spectacular, no bathtub, worn dressers, carpet, and no mini bar as advertised. Plumbing fixtures date back to the 70’s. Did I mention that the shower drain backs up and excess water drains onto the bathroom floor over the glass shower door floor barrier? As for the view, it was nothing to look at other than a car lot and maybe a shipping dock; quite pathetic actually. These are the good points of the room. Still, we went out to the Viking Restaurant to enjoy our weekend as we had heard so many good things about it. The Viking restaurant should have been called Gluttons R Us. This place stays fully booked all the time as reservations are required and there is a waiting list to get in. I don’t know why. The food isn’t all that good. There is a ton of it and quite a variety. It is buffet also. This means everyone in Davao gets to breathe over it and put their hands on it. Some even ate right off the buffet as they moved on to the next item. God, I do hate buffet. The only aspect I could find that half w
