I was very impressed with the quality of this hotel for the price. It was an old building but very well maintained. The room was very clean and comfortable. Even the shared bathroom was not as I expected it to be, it was much better. The food in the dining room for dinner was very enjoyable and the complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. It was in the perfect location for our cruise holiday as it was not far to walk to Circular Quay.

The rooms were really hot, and lots of stuff did not work, like the bedside lamp, no lights in the dining area of accommodation, hair dryer in the shared bathroom, lots of channels on the tv, which was very, very small. There were incredibly bright lights outside the bedroom window which did not go off during the night. The shower was very small and not very clean. The carpet in the bedroom was filthy. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful though, and the pub is in a good location , close to light rail and train stations, and their food was pretty good. It was cheap, but I expected better for the $$$.

It suited us for a one night stay, but had very little sleep as we found it very noisy, however we did stay a Friday night and other reviews did warn of the same. Also a lot of building work going on almost opposite due to new transport system being built. It was very hot, no air con and a totally inefficient fan. Carpet very worn, room smelly and shower tiny and I’m not a big person. Nice to have a breakfast room with cereal, tea and coffee available. I wouldn’t stay there again though. Location perfect, close to trains, teams, attractions etc. pub itself is a great place. Friendly, old, a number of bars and nice feel.

Convenient location but above a bar and really really loud. Also, Sydney in the summer is hot...and there is no air conditioning nor private bath or toilet. Both are in hallway. I will not stay there again and neither should you.

I had a very disappointing experience at The Grand Hotel. The hotel was extremely dirty and unhygienic, and I believe it should be inspected by NSW Hospitality. During my stay, my room was not cleaned daily, and my bedsheet was never changed. The floors, walls, and bathroom were filthy, with cockroaches running around in the bathroom. The kitchen was in such an unhygienic condition that I refused to use it. There were no basic utensils like forks, knives, or spoons available. There was no air conditioner in the room—only a small fan in the corner, which was completely inadequate. The room was unbearably hot and uncomfortable, making it difficult to rest or sleep. Additionally, there was no chair or desk, and the walls were cracked and dirty. The pub on the ground floor was extremely crowded and noisy, adding to my discomfort. Given the poor hygiene standards and overall unpleasant experience, I will never book this hotel again and would not recommend it to anyone.

The staff were very friendly and informative. The hotel bedroom was clean, but could be improved with maintenance. Same with the shower facilities, which weren't regularly cleaned and also had a mouldy shower curtain.

No frills, but worth it

Located within short walking distance of the Wynyard station and Light Rail (Bridge Street), the Grand Hotel is conveniently located. The Grand Hotel provided a reasonable, no frills room - suitable for those who are just seeking a place to sleep. Bar areas and eating areas are also worth visiting.
