The double bed is suitable for two small people or for one person if you are taller/wider than average. For a couple I would select twin beds.

Great location and good restaurant for dinner. Comfortable room (conditional, see below).

We hated the noise from the nightclub, but everything else was great. We had earplugs, but maybe they should be provided.

The lovely old rooms and how close it was to everything.

Firstly there was a problem with their electronic payment and, despite having agreed on the tariff through Booking.com, it was suggested I might have to pay the public holiday 15% surcharge because their ‘system was down’. I waited, unflinching until the team realised I wasn’t paying more, and, voila! the system worked, in my favour. Okay, confidence in this good hotel restored, I checked in! all good: great room, nice balcony, stayed for a nice steak meal. Sadly, at 1:30 am, I had to speak to the lads in the room next door, they still wearing high vis vests, one surly, another overcompensating with merriment, that the combination of high pitched guffawing, crap music and dreadful singing was, maybe, beyond the pale. it worked, my serious edge, and they quietened. Day 2 and night 2 were much, MUCH, better. but it begs the question: why put 3 guffawing lager louts right next to a solo senior traveller? there was an empty room on the other side - I’d stayed there once before. And - three lads and one bed … indeed, might explain the pitch of the compensatory mirth! So, folks working at The Grand, who were paid double time, I dare say, give a care, pay attention, think laterally, and lift your game, so that all kinds of people, loud lads and gentler gents, can enjoy their stay for very different reasons.

its location is excellent; the aesthetic is attractive, the steak was great.

Some of the amenities needed fixing, for example the left light switch by the bed was broken, it seemed like some water was leaking in the bathroom and the towel rack was broken, the only place to hang the towel was over the bin.

Flexible when I needed to change my stay date and good proximity to the office. Room was large and comfortable.

Great value for money, bathroom a bit in need of update and balcony could do with a clean and more furniture but great price for Newcastle and we will certainly be back. This is our 5th time staying at Tje Grand

Location great close to Newcastle Beach cafes and restaurants.

Not enough cleaning of the bar/restaurant table tops or the beautiful banister on the stairs. Very sticky, nothing a damp cloth and spray would solve.

Lovely old world building from 1890. Original features all around

Toilet seat was broken , that was the only negative

Proximity to the coast

I booked a room with a balcony which was great. A little bit of a wash down out there would have been great but all in all a top hotel.

The location is awesome. The staff are beautiful people.

Agree with the other reviews: the pillows are all too tall for at least half the population - so they need at least one thin pillow per room! Also the mini fridge motor was loud at this close range when sleeping.

Pub downstairs is always great, loved the location, the huge verandah and the ceiling fan.

The bed needs to be replaced and the private terrace needs to be cleaned,this was the only let down on an otherwise lovely stay
