Grand Hotel Sydney

Been there before. Service great. Meal great too. Beds comfy. Will book again in future. Central to all. Public transport at your door.

Good location, cheap

Odd smell in room, needed to air out a lot.

Bed was comfortable and the staff were lovely.

Terrible noise insulation, I could not sleep at all. Not worth the price I paid.

Most of the staff were very nice and helpful.

The accommodation part was VERY outdated / very dirty / broken / smelly My family and I were made to wait 5 hours to even enter the room to be told that the room was ready when in fact they didn't even clean it. And to be placed in another room where the beds were broken. *The kitchen facilities - very dirty (bugs crawling/flying out of the toaster ect. ) *The bedrooms - Messy/dirty/broken/smelly *Bathroom facilities - VERY Dirty Couldn't wait to leave (Never again)

Location

Nowhere in room to put bags up off floor

The location to the cruise terminal was fabulous, the staff were lovely Small heater heated the room well

The building works happening on the building over the road, cranes and machine noise until well after midnight which we weren't aware of, so couldn't sleep One of the single beds was missing a leg, so the whole bed was on a lean and needed propping up with a rolled up towel There were used tissues in the cupboard under the sink

Pub is very nice, in a nice building, located moments from Wynward station and less than 10 minutes walk to Circular Quay. Rooms are basic with very worn carpets etc, so avoid if that bothers you, but the family room we stayed in was a good size and clean & comfortable enough. Having a fridge & tea & coffee facilities was a bonus too. Separate bathrooms were clean & reasonably functional. Very good value for money all told.

A bit more effort on the facilities would go a long way. The pub provides cereal, tea, coffee & milk for breakfast, but strangely no cutlery. We mentioned the lamp in our room needed a new bulb on our 1st morning, but it never got replaced. Not the end of the world, but got the distinct impression the guest rooms are not a priority.
