Parking available, check in was very easy. Staff were always friendly and professional. The room was clean. Coffee, tea and water available in the room. Just across from the sea which made it a really relaxing break. Breakfast was great, with a lot of options available. You could choose from continental, English or both types of breakfast. Check out also very straightforward.

The stay was fine. Bit of a dated room and slow service at the bar. Room had those annoying curtains that don’t close properly so the room is bright at sunrise 😂 Beautiful location, great breakfast but the reason for the poor review is that I was silly enough to leave my toiletries behind And oh boy what a pain to retrieve them. Had to call four times and email twice before they sent them on. Just super disorganised.

It's been about 15 years since I last stayed and I was slightly disappointed this time. The lamp on our dressing table did not work nor did the vanity mirror light in the bathroom. Also found a few curly hairs in the bathroom. The Spa is looking quite run down. Peeling paint, missing tiles and mouldy grout in the pool. Mould on the step. Generally did not feel very clean.

An amazing weekend at the Grand - was there for our wedding anniversary that coincided with the Airbourne. Staff on the whole were amazing - the service was a bit intermittent at times, but it was a busy weekend for them so totally understand how difficult it is to get the resource right. We will definitely be back to stay again.

Waited half an hour to be served in bar both before and after dinner and ten minutes at breakfast after being sat at an unmade up table. Dirty crockery left on table from previous users in bar. Coffee served in chipped cup. In the end left early.

I've stayed at many 5 star hotels, this was average for a five star. It had old furniture, the swimming pool indoor was nice. The staff were friendly and lovely. The property could do with a paint-up. I had the deluxe room. The TV was very small for a room of the size, breakfast was okay.

The rooms need upgrading not just decor

Check in was very good with friendly staff. Valet parking very helpful “Tony” was remarkably helpful. We originally booked a classic room. This was an attic room nowhere near as the measurements described on Hotel .com site. This room had a stale smell. We requested upgrade which was accommodated. Deluxe room although without any views was clean and airy. There was no fridge which is a must for my medicines. The housekeeping provided us with a small fridge . When plugged in we found the electric sockets where the TV was, were not working . We had to ask for shower caps Duty manager Bronwyn was very helpful and she herself sorted that out The evening meal in the Garden Grill was not to standard even the service meant to be silver service was not 5* Next day we wanted to use the pool & spa and found no Robes. Which were given to us after considerable wait. Our floor was very noisy with Children. The coffee was only decaf no normal tea bags. The best thing about the stay was Breakfast Very good. I would stay there again but expect better comfort probably will book a more superior room.

This is an impressive grand old hotel with professional, friendly staff. We really enjoyed its position on the seafront and its two pools. However, parts of the hotel are very dated and staff were overwhelmed at breakfast, which meant service was slow and detracted from overall experience. The bed was too soft and pillows old and flat. The bathroom was a museum piece! For these reasons, we felt it was very overpriced.It needs alot of money spending on it to modernise it.
