This is a beautiful hotel, the views are stunning. The room was excellent, modern and perfectly clean. The food is fantastic and staff were absolutely 5 star. I booked a massage while I was there and it was wonderful, so my recommendation is to stay here if you get a chance! Will definitely stay again.

it was great - the hotel garden and short trip down to the beach was brilliant parking was a bit tricky (the car park is quite small) but there are usually places in nearby roads

The beds were uncomfortable, carpets were stained and very old, the whole place is very dated, the spa is not a spa. The pool is very small. We got a room at the back, constant noise from the fans or whatever was making that noise. Very expressive for the experience, we won’t be returning.

Room was quite small, but beautifully located on second floor with huge comfortable bed and lovely view of the beach. Excellent service by all staff we encountered. Did not try food, but drinks and reception staff efficient and very helpful. Would return, hopefully ASAP.

Great hotel in a fantastic location. Our room was spotless. Lovely restaurant with an amazing view. Kids and adults both loved the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice Clean spacious room.

Fabulous position and staff are efficient, professional and friendly. The rooms could do with some updating. They are dated. Nicer furniture and some fresh paint would do it.

Just back from a 2 night stay over the bank Holiday in superior sea view room. Views were simply outstanding. Room was large and recently refurbished with a good shower and a big bed. Lots of power sockets. Fresh clean blackout curtains. We walked down the beach to the Cabin for Pimms and snacks. Cabin is also owned by the hotel. Further down on the left is another cafe called Down the Beach which does breakfasts and drinks on the morning. We didnt use the plunge pool as much - retreated as it was full and noisy. tiny kids were using the Jacuzzi unsupervised. Gymn well equipped. Overall a good stay and we will certainly be back

Amazing place for a weekend

We stayed in a superior seaview double room which was on the 3rd floor. Take note there is no lift at the hotel. The room was spacious and comfortably fitted. The view was amazing over Swanage. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great views of the beach and Swanage

Lovely location beautiful views

Amazing views and great staff Breakfast service needs improving Evening meals were excellent Cafe next to hotel by beach made a great breakfast alternative and much cheaper!

Fantastic location Room not serviced over our 3 night stay Main menu same as Sept 23 Breakfast buffet very 'tired'.cooked b/fast ok

Lovely hotel, though a little bit dated. Pool and jacuzzi were lovely, and great location!

Great hotel fantastic position great staff very friendly (apart from the barman)

Nice room, convenient location, great views. Friendly bar staff. Limited parking on site. (had to park a 5 min walk away but hotel refunded parking costs). Would recommend and return.

Excellent

The room had a stunning view and was comfortable, however having to duck to walk around the bed was a bit of a pain. The food was nice however service at the bar and in the restaurant was fairly slow. The bar surface was sticky.

Hotel is well located with great views. Had an evening meal which was lovely. Breakfast was distinctly average with a pretty limited selection. The room was pretty small and the furniture is in need of some love. The double bed was tiny and, sadly, really quite uncomfortable. The bathroom looked to have been refitted fairly recently and was well appointed.

Limited parking for customers Room poor condition bathroom outdated Not able to drink tap water in the room had to ask bar staff for tab water ? Why Friendly staff ., reasonable standard of food.

The amazing view. Pleasant bar area and excellent service Limited parking. Lukewarm shower Cold bathroom - radiator fixed for 2nd day

Loved the hotel, very comfortable room, lovely breakfast and happy to go extra for my husband who is coeliac (gluten free), lovely dinner in the evening and really reasonable prices for breakfast, dinner, bars etc. Hotel is a little tired but overall a fantastic stay

Evening meal very good except being charged over £2 for a bread roll. Room (103) generally good but towel rail did not work, lack of power sockets and a damp smell in bathroom. Bed very comfortable and room very quiet. Room service at £3 was good value and arrived on time and nice and warm.

Very clean, warm, amazing view of the bay, friendly staff

There was not a tremendous amount of parking available but the room and onsite facilities were terrific.

Fabulous sea views

After a Random evening in Dorset . I chanced upon the Grand hotel and couldn’t have been happier with my choice .

Nice size, clean, modern room. Staff were lovely and a good breakfast. Many thanks to all.

Really nice hotel, very clean with efficient friendly service and a great location overlooking the sea.

Steps down onto beach and walk along to town centre

Nice, clean and amenable
