Wow new modern lifts at The Grand!

Was very impressed with the new lifts, a big improvement from the old ones, our room was nice and clean, would have preferred a shower that can be held though as I don’t always wash my hair in the shower. The staff were all very helpful too, very nice stay at The Grand

Very nice

We were actually surprised that we had such a nice stay after reading the reviews. You get what you pay for at the end of the day and we paid £40 for a twin room. It was clean and comfortable we got a lovely sea view and the shower was great. The only problem was the check in we waited about an hour in the queue as they required photo id and a lot of the guests checking in were unaware of it so it held everybody up, thankfully we had ours. We would definitely stay here again.

Not clean but comfortable, long wait to check in

The wait for check in was so long, I believe we were there queuing for 50 minutes so bear that in mind. The room itself wasn't very clean, bits of dirt on the carpet and hairs in the bath. But you get what you pay for and I definitely wouldn't pay more or stay more than one night. The bed was comfy and the room had a nice sea view.

Room was horrendous, telly didn’t work, dirty mouldy windows, dirty rusty radiator, blood smears on walls, chipped old furniture, no room to walk up sides of bed, limited drinks in bar areas. On the bright side breakfast was nice.

Couldn't fault the hotel, considering the building is 150 years old it was in great condition, very well looked after, everywhere was clean and tidy. It was -1 outside but the whole hotel was lovely and warm, very relaxing. The staff were all nice and very helpful, the food and the dining room were great. The only thing that let it down was the parking outside, not enough spaces.
