the old Grand Hotel under a new name

Very comfortable . The food was good but during Ramadan there were so many people from outside coming for 'fatour' that you had to be early to find a place to sit.
Bed and breakfast costs 160 US$, and full board US$200.Rather pricey.

Unique Quality: View of the Nile and Tuti Island

• Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

Khartoum's Grand Hotel

After arriving in Khartoum for the first time, I was put up at what used to be called the Grand Hotel but has since been taken over by a Malaysian Hotel Chain (Holiday Villa). Upon arriving, you can easily believe when someone tells you that this hotel is over a hundred years old. As for my room, I had a big bed but somehow the mattress has sunk in the middle and I can feel the springs when I lie on it. The bathroom doesn't have anything fancy, just a tub, sink & toilet.

The hotel has a new addition where they now have wifi connection at SDG12 (US$6) for 24hr connection in the hotel lobby where guests can surf the net on their laptops.

Unique Quality: The view in the lobby is reminiscent of old colonial times with crystal chandeliers and furnishings before Churchill Hall. The exterior is somewhat similar, the outdoor cafe has wrought iron table and chairs where on weekends (that's Thursday & Friday nights), you can enjoy a simple (but expensive) dinner buffet or smoke a shisha.

There are 3 swimming pools but only one is used because the rest are not as clean. This is also a pricey, pricey hotel for the what you get. Nevertheless, when you're here you just have to go with the flow

It's okay

It's a nice enough hotel, but for the price I prefer the Hilton. If you prefer colonial style old world hotels then this is probably for you, however the business centre consists of 1 computer at the front reception desk, which is often busy (and a pretty slow connection, which sometimes you have to fix yourself when it's down)

Unique Quality: Wonderful Malaysian Cuisine in the main restaurant
