8.2/10

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, especially since it was refurbished, making everything look fresh and inviting. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and I loved being just a short walk from KSL Mall and the Monday night market. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a good mix of local favorites and continental options. However, I did face an issue with the TV in my room that took a while to resolve, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, great value for price, and I'll definitely be returning!

My stay was quite an experience, with a beautiful room and great views, but there were several issues that dampened my visit. The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, especially with stains on the carpet and blanket. The noise from the KTV upstairs late at night was disruptive, and the dining offerings were misleading. The hotel seems to focus more on aesthetics rather than the comfort and satisfaction of its guests, which was disappointing overall.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, mainly drawn in by its spacious rooms and cleanliness. The location near a food court and the KSL shopping mall was quite convenient. However, a few cleanliness issues in the room and some noisy disturbances from a KTV above were unwelcome surprises. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are areas that need improvement.

I recently stayed at Grand Paragon during a trip with my family. The hotel was close to several shopping malls, making it convenient for us to explore the local area. While the room was spacious, it did feel a bit worn out. However, the staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Overall, it was a fairly average experience with both pros and cons, particularly in terms of room quality.
