Grand Hotel

The hotel was conveniently placed in the city and walking distance to the beach and cafes. I got a very nice dinner in their restaurant and liked it up on the top floor where it was quiet and peaceful. Very good value budget hotel. I would stay here again.

I was honestly impressed by the room. For the price you can definitely do a lot worse. The clean room, bed, fridge (with freezer), TV (with accessible HDMI ports), aircon, and bathtub were much appreciated. If you're driving to The Grand Hotel, make sure you factor in about $35-42 per night for parking at the nearby secure parking lot. The building itself is quite old. The hallway floors creak, paint is flaking on hallways walls, that sort of thing. However, the owners have done well to modernise the rooms themselves. I wish I'd been able to experience the bar and bistro, but they weren't available on Chris**as day. I can recommend The Grand Hotel for a short stay.

All the staff were really helpful and friendly. The bed was super comfy, and we loved the "rain"-style shower. The food at the pub downstairs was excellent! The only thing that was a bit of a turnoff is the sliding barndoor for the bathroom, as it leaves about a 1" gap all around the edge. Not a lot of privacy!

Very nice room at such an affordable price. Don't need much space as I'm just one person starting from scratch setting up my new life. Very nice area

This property & city was like stepping back in time and we absolutely loved it. We wouldn't hesitate to come & stay again :) The room was lovely, though the shower rack had a lot of previous soap scum on it and around the base of the toilet was a touch yukky. The bathroom power point is very loose so it felt unsafe to use. The windows were dirty...it would have been nicer to be able to see out them. Other than that, it is a very unique & beautiful property we felt very comfortable in. Many thank yous :)

The staff were lovely and very helpful. The hotel has the old world charm and is quite beautiful. There was quite a bit of dust that needs to be dealt with, and we found the sink semi blocked, and the mini fridge needs a good clean inside. But overall was a great stay. Likely would stay again!

Perfect spot for a couple of days exploring Newcastle. Room was big and had what I needed. Highly recommend. Helpful staff. Typical hotel/ pub vibe. Thank you for a great stay.

We have stayed at the Grand Hotel twice now and it is a superb accommodation for a central location a quick stroll to the beautiful beach and headland at the end of the street. Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly and the bar and restaurant below are so convenient with a great a**osphere and tasty well price meals. We love its mix of old world and modern charm with our room looking out onto a balcony.

Lovely staff though some areas of the hotel do need attention. Great position.
