Surcharge and baksheesh are two big differencesThere are hotels where the bribe does not go through, only the surcharge for an upgrade. But in Grande, if you approach correctly, you can solve for 10-20 dollars

Not everything is so clear in the Grande. They can also change the number for free - you sign a piece of paper - and another number. The fact is that the rooms are almost all the same, and are distributed even before your arrival. If there is a full house in the hotel, then there may not really be "Best" replacement rooms. For example, I needed a room with two beds (they indicated this when booking) In fact - one bed, at night they looked for a room for an hour, but found it. Those who came with us gave us $ 20, they also searched for an hour - then they said that the room was no better than they offered at first.
There are two buildings (I don’t remember the numbers) - for Europeans. (No, well, of course, we are also Europa) - the cost of settling there is unknown to me.

I officially paid $20 for an early check-in at the Grande. I arrived before breakfast and had to wait until 14:00. They offered an early check-in. Without this procedure, they were not even allowed to have breakfast. I'm the only one...paid $20 and everything fell into place right away...

We just got back from there. We arrived at the hotel at 9 am, at the reception I immediately said which room I wanted, I was only interested in 1 building on 2 or 3 floors overlooking the sea. We were told that these rooms with a surcharge of $ 100 began to offer a third building. But after 15 minutes we were given 2 room keys and we went to choose a room. as a result, we got a room in building 1 with a sea view on 2 floors (3 I don’t recommend in this building on the 3rd floor there is no roof on the balcony and the sun will shine very much, but this is someone who loves it). Paid 50 euros for it.
The room is great! and even the cleaners in the first building brought 3 bottles of 1.5 water, although they said that only 1 per day per room. Although everyone who was waiting for the settlement on schedule, they settled in buildings 6 and 5, firstly far from the sea, and everyone complained about the rooms, that they were old and that a lot of things did not work.
They extended the room with a late check-out for 36 euros (the standard price was not inferior in dollars, it was 40).

By the way, it was possible to settle in building 3 for 20 euros. But it is a little further from the sea and the sea view is only from the 3rd floor, as there is a 2nd building in front of it.
We were at the beginning of May. 2-3 buildings for Europeans (Italians and Germans lived there), 4,5, 6 were for the Post-Soviet space (Poles and Czechs were also settled there). And 1 case only for a surcharge.

We were taken without baksheesh to a room on the 1st floor overlooking the territory and the door of the neighboring building. Tourists were walking along the balcony. There was an impression that they were going straight to our room :) They changed it for baksheesh to the 2nd floor overlooking the sea :))

We were initially given a room in some basement overlooking the wall. We came to the reception and asked to change the room, holding out 10 dollars. We were changed immediately. It was a room with a lingering smell of fish or shrimp. I came to the reception angry, to swear. They immediately told me "Oh, sorry, don't shout" and gave me a spacious room with a sea view. Here is such an experience. It was 10/05/2019.
