Room 102 - Very Unfriendly !

ROOM 102 - NOISY Pigeons, From 4.30am onwards, despite continual "shooing away!'. No Double glazing. They don't seem to be around in the Quad during the middle part of the day - when I took the picture. BLACKOUT - Ineffective due to shape of window recess. BATHROOM - Insufficient shelf space around sink. QUIET ROOM REQUESTED - So in addition to Pigeons, a lot of noise from room above(bumping & banging), largely due to old floorboards - Should be upgraded as each room is refurbished. A Hook on the inside of Bathroom Door would be nice, as would a Larger TV. FINALLY - Room Service Tray, nice & large, but didn't really fit comfortably onto Desk or Round Table, & actually resulted in a spill ! These problems are readily VERIFIABLE, I have not exaggerated any of my concerns. Most if the PROBLEMS are not too difficult to remedy, or work around, particularly if accurate accounts/problem areas are recorded for EACH room, and born in mind when matching Visitors Requirements. However, the Noise issues & inadequate BLACKOUT Blind, are areas which require URGENT attention. The staff were friendly and helpful and the dining experience was pleasant, It's just rather a shame that in terms of the Room, this lovely old Hotel, at which I have had many pleasant experiences in years gone by, she does seem to have lost her halo at the present time. It would be nice to hear that these problem areas are being rectified, so that I would feel comfortable about staying there again in future.

Our stay was ok and the public rooms very good. What you would expect from the era the hotel was built. Bar was fine but expensivd and breakfast a bit of a lottery. We reserved a table for our ladt morning only to find it had been taken by a single person keen to film/ photo his experience - our reservation was of no concern to the staff. Our breakfast was good and liked the late finish - 10:30 am but service was intermittent. Like the hotel but expensive.

This is what you get from a non Seaview room.

Room was ok,good bed but bland view from the bed.

Massive hotel. Service is ok. Only concierge is helpful even though they have to do multi tasks. Such as parking allocation, helping guests with their luggage to their room and at check out. I booked a classic superior room according to Expedia but upon check in, the reception said it was a class room in their booking system. The room size and layout of two rooms have a lot of difference. But the reception gave me 2 rooms to choose but none of them would look similar to what I booked. At the end, I chose the classic room because it had air con in the room and it was modern and clean. And it was ok. The Grand hotel is fine with people looking for old fashion hotels and don’t mind overpriced room rate. But one need to be aware of the dated exterior and renovation is underway. The front desk staff somewhat not as the same par as when it’s in busy check in time, they don’t want to spend too much time with you if you have problems. To be fair, there were only 2 ladies at check in desk.

The Hotel is wonderful with as many of the original features on display. The rooms are spacious and in keeping with a period hotel. Excellent bathroom, comfy bed. The windows are old single glazed sash windows and rattle in the wind. However a couple of stratigicly placed teaspoons stopped the rattles. Breakfast is amazing something for everyone. The staff are amazing as the guest is their most important focus. All reflected in the price. Top marks

We stayed only for one night for husband birthday And I booked to stay in the classic queen bed bedroom but the bed was not a queens bed it was to single beds pushed together to make a big bed with a zip in the middle of the bed to join it together it was a very bad night sleep we both did not sleep as we both keep sliding in to the middle of the bed on to the zip in the middle it was a very big dip in the middle of the bed it was not comfortable and both did not sleep plus there was mad marks yellow marks on the walls I would say from water leaks plus we had to very bad dirty tea spoons in room so we could not have a coffee when we arrived we had to go and get them to change them plus we had no hot water when we arrived and they had to sort that out as well The room is not 5 stars it was more of a 2 maybe a 3 star But the hotel is under going work on out side and on stairs But the pool area was nice and used that The breakfast was nice But everything closes at 9.00pm And if u are a person how likes luxury and a good night out then this hotel is not for u as restaurants close at 9.00pm and drinks bar around just after 11pm there is not night live no music or shows or and entertainment So if u want to relax and go to bed early then this place is what u are looking for if u are not looking for luxury and a good night sleep

Loved the Hotel & we upgraded and had a superb sea view. Very good facilities. Excellent breakfast, because the Hotel was quite quiet on our visit, the already huge dining / breakfast room seemed even bigger & therefore lacked a little bit of atmosphere. Could easily be sectioned off during the quieter periods. Would happily return to The Grand Hotel.
