It was a pleasant stay. You have a TV with streaming apps such as Netflix & Prime video but you had to have an account to login! The room provided tea, coffee & a hot water jug with a refrigerator! The bathroom was average as the bathroom sliding door was broken. 6/10

Basic clean rooms with efficient and kind staff. Fixtures and rooms are dated and basic, but clean and have what you need. Safe area with security company and council buildings next door. Super easy parking. Perfect place to rest your head for the night between adventures.

Rubbish around outside area. No bath mat or soap in dispenser in shower. Shower not clean. Bed comfortable but needs a valance on it to cover the wear and tear on base! Stain in carpet could be removed I’m sure.

The lift did not work. There is a television but no service. It looked like the hotel had not been vacuumed for a month. However the bed was comfy, the bedding was clean, the bathroom was very adequate.

Despite having booked weeks in advance, confirmed our booking at 2.30pm our room was not ready when we arrived at 4.30pm. The TV didn't work, the door didn't close, but these were fixed over the next 1.5 hours. There was no bath mat and no cutlery. The Grand is tired but it could be a great venue. It was quiet and very central.

The furniture and stylings of the foyer are still wonderful shabby grand, but the rooms are abominable. You're sharing a balcony with your neighbour and your room doesn't lock! And the phone to reception doesn't work, which doesn't matter, because no one is every there. Bathroom stinks of mould. It's depressing, and unsafe. Please, get it together, The Grand, you could be amazing!

We didn’t even get to stay here. The room was cancelled on us upon arrival at the hotel. Did go to the bathroom there. They were filthy, no soap in dispensers. Staff are ignorant and extremely unhelpful. Asked them to help with finding others accomodation and receptionist just said no and walked away. Very very rude. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Was given a room which was filthy, had unflushed toliet, used tolietries and not the room i booked, after complaining, was then given the room i did book, which wasnt much better. Multi plug zapped and sparked. Fridge unplugged and milk was off. Rubbish bin was caked in mould in the bottom of it, the door to room was damaged and elevators werent working so had to climb four flights of stairs to the room. I dont expect luxury for the price of the room but expected better standards than this.

It was unsafe we found broken glass all through the carpet of our room which we found because it went into my husband's foot. Although they gave us a different room when we discussed the issue of glass. The mattress was dirty and badly stained. The fridge was balancing on a block and made it unsteady. No bath mat which made showering a fall risk. A dirty jug that was peeling inside. A pillow made of broken foam. A broken door handle. And make sure u keep proof u paid for booking as they like to say u haven't and charge or try charging you again

We arrived and were told that we could not stay because the door locks weren’t working. The Grand hotel had my contact details. Why wasn’t I notified earlier? It’s not like the staff were run off their feet with bookings. The two men at the hotel were not helpful. They lied to me and said that I would be refunded the following day. They did not tell me that the bookings were outsourced to a company in USA. If they had of I would not have left until I’d been refunded. I was not refunded yesterday. In fact I can see from your email that they didn’t put the refund through until yesterday. Luckily I’m local. I’ll be going to see them today.
