We stayed at The Grand Hotel over Valentine’s weekend. The building itself is beautiful and full of character. Some areas appear to have been renovated to a good standard, but unfortunately other parts are in serious need of attention. We were allocated a basement room with no natural light whatsoever. The room felt dark, dated, and poorly maintained. It was not particularly clean, and the overall condition was very tired. The mattresses were old and uncomfortable, which made for a disappointing night’s sleep. It was also freezing, with noticeable drafts throughout the room and corridors. As soon as you entered the corridor, there was a strong, unpleasant smell that immediately set a poor impression. We asked if we could move rooms and were even willing to pay extra, but despite being told someone would call us back, we never heard anything further. We also requested an additional pillow — a very basic request — and were met with laughter at reception and the comment, “Do you realise how busy we are?” This response felt dismissive and unprofessional. Overall, while the building has great potential and some charming features, the room quality and customer service significantly detracted from what should have been a special Valentine’s stay.
All corridors in the vicinity of our room was like this. The carpet stank.
A cupboard left open next our room.
Bathroom was very poor in condition and cleanliness. The bath side was way above average and my wife needed help getting in and out.

Although the rooms are slightly dated, I would still rate my overall experience very highly because the customer service truly stood out. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed throughout my stay. While the décor and furnishings could benefit from a refresh, the rooms were clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable visit. What really makes this hotel special is the team — their friendliness, professionalism, and willingness to help easily deserve a 5-star rating.

The rooms were tiny and the decor was a bit shabby. If you first come into the hotel and see the lobby its fabulous very grand and then the staff are very helpful, we got a upgrade from a standard double room to a family room it was tiny bathroom was nice, There was only one double socket in the room my partner has sleep apnoea so uses a breathing machine the single bed was closest to the socket then a double bed. You couldn't walk straight in the room you had to turn sideways to get anywhere room with a single bed and a double

Checking in was a nightmare - no sign postage to say one of the queues was for coach check ins only, 45 minutes we were waiting. We were then given what they described as a premier room, only to find stains on the mattress, dried blood on the sheets and other stains on the mattress protector, there was also marks on the radiator and what looked like vomit on the lamp base, mould on the windows, mould round the shower and the room smelt awful. We went and complained and they "upgraded" us to a room on the floor above, however the experience wasnt much better, we found hair in the bath tub, damp on the cieling and mould again on the window. The entire hotel smelt awful, dust was on every surface in bith rooms. We wont be returning.
