Overall really good.
On arrival the reception area did not appeal too much. However the receptionist was very welcoming and friendly. Our room was on the second floor and we were so pleased with it. The whole floor has been recently refurbished and our room at the front was lovely.

Central hotel
This hotel is very centrally located, which is handy if you come by coach. It is an older hotel that has been modernised.

The Grosvenor has a restaurant / pub onsite that serves Awesome dinners. I had the Roast Beef for dinner and battered banana with ice cream for dessert and they were both delicious!
Also close to town which is handy.

Grosvenor Hotel Timaru Review
Nice spacious room, comfortable but feeling a bit dated, very close to the custom steakhouse to stroll down for the best steak in town so I’ll definitely be back.

The staff were all friendly, helpful and happy to chat about the history of the old building. The pricing was very reasonable at $255 for two nights. The room was very spacious. I would certainly stay there again.

Excellent Southern hospitality and kindness
We stayed 2 nights at the Grosvenor for the first and last night of our 14-day cycling holiday. Staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. Moreover they went out of their way to help us. First by allowing us to store our bike boxes, second by providing us with a bucket to clean our muddy bikes when we returned and third and most importantly helping us to catch our plane on time. We had booked a van through Timaru Taxis. However when we rang the company past our scheduled pickup time they advised us that they do not operate vans on the weekend. With less than an hour to spare prior to bag drop off Carol, one of the staff members, asked her husband to transport us and our boxes to the airport. Without their kindness we would have been stranded in Timaru for another day. Super grateful for everything

Staff were friendly, The room I stayed in wasn't the greatest, Mold on the walls and very very basic. Also next to the train station was very loud engine noises super early in the morning.

Can’t believe someone recommended this to me
Arrived just before midnight, late checkin system was as good. Room hadn’t been serviced. Eventually got an onsite guy who spent 15min looking for a clean room. Finally found a single bed rooom. Hotel is very “tired”
