    Nothing to say other than we thought the food was wicked expensive ;)

    The room was especially spacious, great bed, and a beautiful view of the sea. The food was pricey, but we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

    The room we had, 407, had a view into an internal "space" along with a few other rooms. Unfortunately there were air conditioning units at ground level which ran for most of the night and even with double glazed windows woke us up at 5am when they ramped up.

    Good location and a lovely building. Inside had lots of original features. Staff were very courteous but not in your face. Room was huge and so was the bed. Fantastic shower.

    Could have been better value for the lack of view rooms - however it was very quiet.

    Beautiful old grand hotel, very welcoming and comfortable, a treat for a special birthday. The staff were really lovely, helpful and friendly, couldn’t do enough for us - we’d booked afternoon tea and wanted to change the time and they were very accommodating. The rooms were large and comfortable - we had the cheaper standard rooms with no view (back of buildings, couldn’t see the sky) but we knew this would be the case and we weren’t there much so it didn’t bother us - the price could have reflected this a bit more though I think. Having said that, I’d definitely go back and have the same rooms. The breakfast was amazing and the staff lovely and friendly.

    The Korean chicken I ordered wasn't great TBH. Looked like it had come out of the freezer, and not really on a par with Korean chicken you can get elsewhere in Brighton. But perhaps I just ordered the wrong item? Given the overall feel of The Grand I was expecting something a bit more special.

    The hotel itself has a wonderful old fashioned style which is perfect for Brighton's faded seaside glamour. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean, aesthetic, and well set out. Everything was very well maintained. The seafront location is great. And Brighton's huge range of restaurants, cafes and pubs are nearby. Staff were professional. Overall I was struck by how well priced The Grand was for a UK hotel. Really impressed.

    The bedroom furniture was dated and very chipped. The lighting wasn’t sufficient to do my hair & makeup. The shower was so powerful it hurt my back. No room service available when we returned from a gig. We were told there was no chef working that evening to prepare even a sandwich. There was an issue because I was cœliac but my husband just wanted a normal sandwich, but never got one.

    The decor, friendly staff, restaurant, breakfast, the size of the room. Tea & Coffee making facilities. Etc.

    I thought the £10 tray service was excessive for my breakfast to be bought up to the room.

    We had a had a lovely warm welcome from the concierge at the front of the hotel. Our luggage was unloaded swiftly and the car was parked up for us. The reception staff were also very welcoming and our room was ready earlier than expected. We were really pleased with the our bedroom, bathroom and sea view. The hotel bar and restaurant had a really modern décor to it. The food in the restaurant was exceptional and there was an excellent selection of wines that were available throughout the Grand Hotel. The bar staff were polite, knowledgeable about the drinks and very friendly too.

    We booked the twin room, it was made double and changed after asking, but room is not good for a twin because of big furniture. Reception said it is twin even they did not even come and see it. Maintenance soon came and moved a furniture with us, but this level of place you should not have to do that first thing you come in...I have worked in business years and must say that I would be the one to do it, not customers. Breakfast and staff there was awesome!

    Breakfast is awesome as the location.
