The room itself was good but unfortunately it was right at the top of the stairs outsde the security door so was noisey with foot traffic.

Convenient and suits my needs

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.

No air-conditioning.
Good bar with interesting people. 3 blocks from the Itercity bus line. Lots of bars and resterants. Needed a phone and found one around the corner at Kiwi Tech.

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.

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.

Really below par accommodation - On street parking is a real PROBLEM... car window smashed right outside hotel - car cleaned out,,,, Plenty of Cameras but Hotel Management showed zero interest in helping out.. A never stay again place for me

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.

Too noisey, music until around 1.30am from within the hote. Tired and dated, would never stay here again
2.0
Music from within the hotel went until 1.30am on a Wednesday, how can you offer accommodation knowing full well that you have music playing that will keep people awake. Terrible place - don't stay here if you want to actually sleep
8.0
Over all the hotel was good but it could do with a freshen up. The restaurant was very nice and the food was great

Value for money is great..Room was spotless~~cleaners do a top job...Only thing that wasn't quite right, no chairs in our room..That would have been sorted if we had mentioned it earlier..
Overall, we enjoyed our stay/
8.0
The place was relatively clean and tidy. Just very very run down and tired. Staff were very helpful. The road noise was horrible and the noise from the nightclub terrible! So if you are a light sleeper then this is perhaps not for you.

Central location - friendly

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the property could do with some updates.

Beautiful historic hotel. There is some interesting history and connection to the Royal Family.
Main entrance was under utilised. Check in was located in the pub downstairs.
Room, hallway and entrance was poorly lit. There was a bit of a damp smell in the hallway.
Room also had broken lights and balcony had cigarette butts on the flooring where the drain is.
There is also no parking facilities available on the property. There is a paid car park next door.
6.0
Not much to say staff were efficient.
The bed was comfortable.
Hotel needs to be refreshed fittings are old and the carpet and curtains need replacing.
Smell of damp in my room.

We were informed at check-in that karaoke in the bar underneath was 9 pm to 2 am. Our room was directly above the garden bar and we were kept awake all night. This room should’ve been heavily discounted and only available for booking with prior knowledge. Bar staff were friendly at check-in. Room was dated but clean. Felt more like a backpackers than a hotel.

OMG !! I wouldn't have minded if it was cheap it was not $150 per night, and I may as well set my bed up in the pub that was underneath, the noise was horrendous, and to describe the walls as paper thin would have been an exaggeration of thickness......Having said that all the staff I met were really great :)

We appreciate Covid has caused many issues for hotels, but the small heater in the room was not adequate to heat the cold room. The room was very cold when we entered. No extractor in the bathroom and the bed mattress needs replacing as it was very, very soft and dipped badly. There was no where to park our car and we had to get up early to feed the parking meter outside.
The Thai attached had wonderful food.

Dirty sock and bandage under nightstand. Music till after 3 am and we were never advised in advance. Party in room next to us till 4.30. Nobody on site to deal with issues. No toilet paper in the room. Had to buy our own

We’re not told of 24 roadworks outside bedroom window. Not hotels fault but it should have been advised

I arrived and was forced to check in at a filthy bar with drunk patrons and at first they couldnt find my booking and then found it. They informed me just before payment that there would be kareoke thurs and fri. But they actually meant everyday for the last 5 years. So after a sleepless night if kareoke under my room until at least 2 full volume and quieter until 4 i woke up the next day and got my money back and left.

You get what you pay for. If you need your sleep, maybe try somehwere else lol pub right below and "revellers" having a party in their room once its closed
