The Grand Oriental Hotel (GHO) was built in 1837 to accommodate British soldiers. It did not become a hotel until 1875 and quickly became a great success with the passengers of the ships and the population of the city, attracted by its superb dance hall, its extraordinary crockery and its very beautiful furniture. Nowadays, this palace, although it could do with some embellishment, offers a superb view of the port from its panoramic restaurant on the top floor. On the ground floor, don't miss the bust of Anton Chekhov.

I stayed here several nights and you really have the impression to go back in time; the phone at the reception dates back to pre-war 39-45. The rooms are decent, even if they could do with a renovation, the staff is very pleasant and the food is very good in the restaurant. It is the view of the harbour from the dining room because the port is a strategic place not open to the public.
