Nice room but must have had smokers in it previously before us because it stunk of smoke 🚬 which was a shame because the room was nice! But the smokey smell was very unpleasant. Apart from that no other problems at all. Me and my husband are none smokers so this was an issue for us unfortunately. Staff at reception absolutely lovely and welcoming can’t fault the staff. Location was superb close to everything we needed.

The hotel looked lovely, on arrival the gentleman was very welcoming, friendly and helpful, he upgraded our room. We were on the 5th floor with a beautiful sea view however the lights on the side of the hotel shined through the top and sides of the window so the room wasn't completely dark and we had difficulty sleeping. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice, the doorframe had a few broken bits on it but the room locked and it didnt bother us. A coffee pod machine was provided however we couldn't get it to work and the shower temperature control was very stiff, I couldn't turn it and had to yell for my husband to help when the shower went cold, he found it difficult to turn but managed to do it. The flush button was loose and the panel feel off the wall, my hubby managed to put it back on. The hotel it's self was beautiful and we would definitely stay again despite our bad night sleep and a few teething problems, if we had been staying longer then we would of spoken to reception but for one night it was okay.

the Seaview room was nice although looking out through dirty windows spoiled it a little, could do with a couple of extra plug sockets so you can charge your items without having to unplug the tv but overall nice

The lovely lady on reception when we checked in (17/2/26 around 1615) was friendly and welcoming and kindly upgraded our room for us, giving us a lovely sea view! Room was great. Only negative feedback was found the bed quite firm and my back hurt a bit next day! There was also a noisy dog staying in a room down the same corridor- maybe just have the dog friendly rooms nowhere near others. Apart from that, great spot and stay!

Very very dirty, toilet seat was full of blood and faeces, carpet was filthy and full of rubbish, stopped before and that was the same but thought we'd give it one more chance, not again, it doesn't hurt to clean up and wash the toilet seat which by the way didn't even fit. Room 239 is just disgusting.

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.
