The Grand Hotel is an old property that is well maintained and very clean. Whilst my room was old, it was surprisingly quiet, comfortable and clean with quality bed linen. I had a fabulous sleep and would definitely recommend this hotel and yes I would return.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel room was quite good for a building of its age however, it was very noisy both mornings, very early on with the sopunds of delivery trucks outside my room. Also, apart from bar staff in the afternoons and evenings, there were no staff to be seen anywhere in the mornings and no guidance on check-out, where to leave key, etc. Overall an OK stay for the price.

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.

Bed was comfy. However, there was No reservation desk, so checking in was confusing. , check in was in the noisy bar. Food over cooked and hardly edible, had to be ordered from the bar.l, no wait staff. Room was noisy and in poor condition, paint peeling , mold on bathroom ceiling and wood trim, shower never got hot, broken tiles, toilet paper holder broken. Don't recommend. Sad thing is, with a little TLC it could be a glorious historical site.

A gem worth finding

An old world experience in an older hotel. Staff were great and Ally, at check in, couldn't be more helpful. Comfortable room with a full size bath and all the usual amenities. A lot of stairs (no lift) made my injured knee pay but it was worth it. The Underground jazz night with a great meal and reasonably priced drinks gave me a memorable experience.

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!
