Guest Tips & Highlights
Love this place. Best hotel in Madaba
Second time I stay here. Love this place. Will always be my choice when visiting Madaba. There were fruits in my room, which was very nice. One day the breakfast buffet wasn’t set up but because I was their guest, they made me my own breakfast, so sweet. Absolutely love their hospitality. I feel like I’m at home when I visit Grand. Thank you for always being kind to me 💜
