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.
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.

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.

This is a lovely old hotel that is really showing her age, The staff were very friendly and chatty but im afraid it was not for me
The room couldve have done with a proper clean, not enough towels, no sowermat? Had to request one. No airconditioning. No bathroom fan. Lacked a lot of basics

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.
Holes in the ceiling, filthy carpet, dirty red shag-pile carpet on the walls of the lift, no light shade, not enough powerpoints, broken chairs on the balcony", however sheets and towels were clean and the water was hot.
