Darren was a wonderful help during our stay. Sorted a table for dinner in the Basement night club and really looked after us. Stayed for a bit of the performance by Fish Fry and had a nice night. Lovely old hotel and only wish the wall could talk.

Loved the jazz music in the basement bar and the relative quiet in this part of town. Friendly staff and clean, spacious room, with balcony. I also liked having a bar fridge. The only thing I would change is the size of the bed pillows. Like many hotels, they were too high. We like lower pillows. Offer 2 that are higher and 2 that are lower, for choice.

The Grand has lots of charm but needs some upkeep. Newly renovated rooms are spacious but also need maintenance for basic things like railings in the bathroom, lights and power points. Didn't use the in-room tea/coffee because the kettle was a tad gross. Had a good stay but would have been great with a few basic things looked after. Room attendants were always helpful and smiling. Bars were okay. The beach, wharf, lots of nice cafes and restaurants and other bars are all within an easy walk.

The Grand is a great pub. Some of the rooms are excellent with old-world charm, and veranda access on the first floor. The bar is excellent. My room this time (I’ve stayed several times) was small, no veranda and tiny windows opening onto a brick wall, down pipes and droning pigeons.
