The room 9 was clean and the staff very nice. Bed and pillows were OK. It is an old property so bathrooms and carpet were tired as was paintwork. Wall had a hole near the balcony door. Had noisy neighbours on the balcony at 11pm. It did the job and was cost effective but probs will chose elsewhere next time.

As beautifully renovated pub, the rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. The location is fantastic for walkability to the beach, the city, local walking paths,and public transport. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful for anything you ,might need. The underground cocktail bar is a particular treat, and for the price, this is a really great stay for a weekend away from Sydney to see the sights of Newy!

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.
