The lift did not work. There is a television but no service. It looked like the hotel had not been vacuumed for a month. However the bed was comfy, the bedding was clean, the bathroom was very adequate.

The furniture and stylings of the foyer are still wonderful shabby grand, but the rooms are abominable. You're sharing a balcony with your neighbour and your room doesn't lock! And the phone to reception doesn't work, which doesn't matter, because no one is every there. Bathroom stinks of mould. It's depressing, and unsafe. Please, get it together, The Grand, you could be amazing!

We didn’t even get to stay here. The room was cancelled on us upon arrival at the hotel. Did go to the bathroom there. They were filthy, no soap in dispensers. Staff are ignorant and extremely unhelpful. Asked them to help with finding others accomodation and receptionist just said no and walked away. Very very rude. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Despite having booked weeks in advance, confirmed our booking at 2.30pm our room was not ready when we arrived at 4.30pm. The TV didn't work, the door didn't close, but these were fixed over the next 1.5 hours. There was no bath mat and no cutlery. The Grand is tired but it could be a great venue. It was quiet and very central.

We arrived and were told that we could not stay because the door locks weren’t working. The Grand hotel had my contact details. Why wasn’t I notified earlier? It’s not like the staff were run off their feet with bookings. The two men at the hotel were not helpful. They lied to me and said that I would be refunded the following day. They did not tell me that the bookings were outsourced to a company in USA. If they had of I would not have left until I’d been refunded. I was not refunded yesterday. In fact I can see from your email that they didn’t put the refund through until yesterday. Luckily I’m local. I’ll be going to see them today.

Holes in the ceiling, filthy carpet, dirty red shag-pile carpet on the walls of the lift, no light shade, not enough powerpoints, broken chairs on the balcony", however sheets and towels were clean and the water was hot.
