A memorable hotel with brilliant staff

We arrived to find we had been booked into double rooms with a double bed but had requested twin beds as we were a group of six elderly men! The reception staff went out of their way to accommodate us with this request, giving us alternative rooms. W also had a great breakfast here. The reception staff were professional, welcoming and went out of their way to facilitate our needs.

Hotel good

The hotel itself is great, the room was spacious and comfy, the staff on the bar were good. Parking was a pain, don't be fooled by the free parking near by they claim, they have about 15 spaces for residents, after that you're paying for it

Interesting first stay at Grand Hotel Hartlepool i am sure once it was a very plush hotel but starting to look a bit tired these days most annoying was noisy plumbing which did wake me up sometimes but staff were all very friendly and moved me after problems with my tv and Internet

Excellent staff, hotel clean and friendly. Victorian hotel which has been updated, found bath tabs difficult to operate. Seagull screeching at dawn, beware if you want a lie in.

Second visit. Despite my better judgement, I thought I’d try once more - this time by booking a suite. I opened the door - it was huge! 4m high ceilings. And then the overwhelming smell of sewers. Went to the bathroom, ran the hot water in the sinks bath and shower. Popped the plugs in and hoped it would dissipate. Came back after dinner 2hrs later, the smell was worse. It had filled the whole room. I asked to be moved, and was moved to a standard room. I then asked for the difference to be refunded - I’d paid £90 for the suit, over the £28 for a standard - hoping for a better experience. This proved not possible, and subsequent emails have rendered no response. To add insult to injury - The room had a bin with the previous occupants teabag in and a turd in the loo. I didnt want to leave this account of my stay. If you need to stay in Hartlepool, avoid this place like the plague.

It is what it is. A hotel in the centre of Hartlepool. No frills, a bed and a shower. Clean but not new or stylish. Local vicinity doesn’t have much going on.

Could be better in a derelict town

Nobody was attending the reception desk on our arrival, we had to wait and finally found someone quite nonchalant by the bar. The room had been refurbished recently and presented well, despite the housekeeping not being their principal concern as we found some personal items from the previous occupant. The view from the room was quite concerning and the front of the hotel says it all about the cleanliness and the attention to details. The morning was a lot better with a warm welcoming lady attending the reception desk and looking after the breakfast buffet. This was well presented and of good quality.
