“Hotel Grand Residence certainly presents a mixed bag, and I'd say, proceed with caution; the renovations seem to be impacting the guest experience significantly, from the working lifts to the state of the rooms. Its location near the airport and some attractions is a plus, as are the advertised amenities, but the reported service issues raise concerns, and in my opinion these issues need addressing before I could recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.”

My stay at Hotel Grand Residence was underwhelming, with several facilities that felt outdated (like the lift that was out of service). While the location was good and the front desk staff were friendly, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. I enjoyed the evening meal at the rooftop restaurant, but the breakfast was quite disappointing.

I had a rather disappointing experience at Hotel Grand Residence. While the location was convenient for accessing the highway, the atmosphere felt gloomy, and the service left much to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Grand Residence. The location was decent, being close to the DLF area, but the cleanliness and overall maintenance left much to be desired. On the plus side, the staff were friendly, and I appreciated the complimentary breakfast. However, the noisy rooms and inconsistent service really detracted from my stay.

The hotel's location is close to major companies in the DLF area, which is a real advantage. However, the hotel itself felt run-down and not very inviting.
Dining

I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, although the food was sometimes served cold. There are also decent dining options available with not-so-spicy food, but I've had better meals elsewhere.
