Close to beach and tram line in a quite hilly area. Old style accommodation in need of some TLC. Bedroom quite big with large veranda, no breakfast available but a few cafes nearby. In a quiet area, but tram runs regularly to Interchange..

The Grand Hotel is an old property that is well maintained and very clean. Whilst my room was old, it was surprisingly quiet, comfortable and clean with quality bed linen. I had a fabulous sleep and would definitely recommend this hotel and yes I would return.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel room was quite good for a building of its age however, it was very noisy both mornings, very early on with the sopunds of delivery trucks outside my room. Also, apart from bar staff in the afternoons and evenings, there were no staff to be seen anywhere in the mornings and no guidance on check-out, where to leave key, etc. Overall an OK stay for the price.
