We have visited The Grand before. It is in need of a facelift but that does not matter. The Staff, Food and Value for money are beyond question. You get what you pay for, at the Grand you get a bit more. A step back in time. An experience that gives you a glimpse of the past, with the old... More

Grand it is not!! The place needs knocking down. I have never been to a hotel that is so badly misrepresented on a web site. The staff may well be polite but that does not make up for the peeling paint, threadbare carpets, dingy shower room or the so so menu. This hotel should really be condemned.

My husband and i,along with many of our friend's,have been using this hotel for the past 6 year's. We come to the isle of wight every august bank holiday for the scooter ralley. I have to admit the hotel is looking a little tired,but the staff more than make up for that. Nothing is too much trouble for them, the... More

The Grand has all the feel of an old lady well past her prime. Lurking behind the years of neglect is a potentially stunning hotel. Some beautiful priod features like the pannelling in the dining room make this an interesting place to stay. The room was small, basic but comfortable. Would have liked a shower over the bath but as... More

Well, it sure isn't Grand, but this was our second visit in just over a year. The rooms are small but spotless and surprisingly well furnished, with a decent bathroom. Nothing seems to work, the pool was still out of order, as it was on our last visit, I don't think the lift has ever worked and now they can... More

I'm sure back in the 1930's it was very 'grand'. Now the place looks completely unloved, with peeling paint & broken windows. The first room we were given, the door wouldn't open. Reception said it was because the wrong key had been returned from the previous guest!!!!!!! The 2nd room we were given was clean but it had a broken... More

First impressions are of a rather run-down building, needing at least a lick of paint on the outside and electric light bulbs replaced in the lounge/reception area. Having said that, it's comfortably furnished and the decor is full of period character. Dogs are admitted to the public areas, but not the restaurant. Bedrooms are small but otherwise comfortable - although... More

This hotel is in need of a great amount of repairs. It leaks like a tap but the staff are wonderful, they certainly go the extra mile to make one feel at home. The beds are comfortable and clean and the food is good. What more can one ask for the for the price? If you want luxurious surroundings and... More
