The area of the property is good because it's situated in the town. However, the Hotel and room is very old and shower is very bad and old. Also, you have to park your car on the street outside so not very safe at all.

Staff were lovely. Facilities were pretty basic but price was cheap, so good value if you’re looking by for a place that won’t break the bank. Very handy to town.

It was tired It might have once housed the queen but not now - checking in in the public bar was experience I could have done with out. It was tired but clean and cheap for what it was it was value for money - just old and tired.

It’s more of a half way house than a hotel.
Very old and dated. No parking. This is a Casio with people making noise all night.

Old, needs refurbishing
Very old, seedy hotel, The Grand is the ‘Grand History’ of the hotel being over 100 years old. The age really shows and affected our comfort and enjoyment. The bar is open until 1:30 am and could hear it until 1:00 am. The hotel needs updating and repairing badly. The mattress was very soft. Although fairly clean the bathroom had rust and scale buildup on the pipes and floor. Although just one block away from many shops and cafes the area itself felt unsafe.

Thin walls between rooms and the noisy street. A music band practicing room just below ours for two hours. Starting and stopping playing music at very loud settings. Had to go to bar to check in and then the patrons stood drunk on the street yelling until 3 am. Wouldn’t stay here again even if it was free.
