What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 77 guest reviews
The Granville Inn earns strongly positive sentiment across the board, with guests consistently charmed by its well-preserved historic character, central location, and warm, responsive staff. The main friction points are practical: air conditioning struggles on upper floors, rooms can feel cramped or overfurnished, and the included breakfast has disappointed several guests who expected more than a basic continental spread. Overall, it is a well-regarded boutique property that delivers on atmosphere and service, with a few comfort and amenity gaps worth noting.
