An amazing weekend at the Grand - was there for our wedding anniversary that coincided with the Airbourne. Staff on the whole were amazing - the service was a bit intermittent at times, but it was a busy weekend for them so totally understand how difficult it is to get the resource right. We will definitely be back to stay again.

I've stayed at many 5 star hotels, this was average for a five star. It had old furniture, the swimming pool indoor was nice. The staff were friendly and lovely. The property could do with a paint-up. I had the deluxe room. The TV was very small for a room of the size, breakfast was okay.

Beautiful and Elegant seafront hotel

The Grand is a very lovely hotel which has kept its feeling of grandeur from times gone by without being old fashioned or shabby. It has a quiet elegance with exceptional decor and service.

This is an impressive grand old hotel with professional, friendly staff. We really enjoyed its position on the seafront and its two pools. However, parts of the hotel are very dated and staff were overwhelmed at breakfast, which meant service was slow and detracted from overall experience. The bed was too soft and pillows old and flat. The bathroom was a museum piece! For these reasons, we felt it was very overpriced.It needs alot of money spending on it to modernise it.

Great property, amazing location as it is right at the beach. There is parking onsite, however, it gets full quickly. That said, there is ample parking around the hotel. The breakfast was okay, not great. The hotel is dog friendly and they had kept treats and bed for the dog in the room. Only downside is that the sea facing rooms dont have an aircon and in 26C heat, that was something which was needed.

It’s a historical building - lots of character and grand looking! Close to the beach and seven sister cliffs. Some staff were super helpful, others were not. The building is old and some areas need work (ie. pool had missing tiles on the steps. Ceiling is peeling in areas.) it’s old but still nice. The doormen were all wonderful and very helpful!
