Grand Hotel Kiama

Grand Hotel Kiama

8/10 Good
"Loved this place. Its nice clean, more basic accommodation, but it was great fun staying in a heritage pub in the middle of Kiama. My wife would've preferred a private bathroom, but there were plenty of well maintained showers and toilets available, which I personally enjoyed using as it immersed me into the pubs heritage and didn't see anyone else. Pub has a good range of food and beers. Proper old school Australia experience very central for Kiama and walkable to town centre, beaches and blowholes. If you're a bloke, love an old pub, decent beer and Australian history, look no further. This is heaven!"

"The property was located closeby shopping precinct, restaurants and cafes. A short walk to sightseeing spots. The property was clean and spacious. There were cooking facilities available although we chose to eat out. The bed/ mattress in my opinion needs replacing and the refrigerator is quite noisy - the only negatives for me.Overall value for money."
