Excellent stay at the Grand Hotel.Views from room were beautiful and food was superb.Staff were very friendly and helpful.Would definitely stay again.Thank you
The hotel had a beautiful, stunning sea view . The garden was kept tidy with pretty flowers and lovely sunbeds to relax in. The hotel was clean, with friendly staff who was very helpful. It was easy to get onto the beach and into Swange town. Lots to see and do.
Lifts out of order , changed rooms as not full sea view, 1st night rowdy people next door at 2 am but was dealt with by staff, tight for parking , and lots of steps to take you on to the beach , hotel staff very friendly, and clean
The Grand in Swanage is just wonderful. The staff are amazing and very friendly. Delicious food, very clean and comfortable rooms. Amazing views across Swanage. I can’t wait to come back!
This is a beautiful hotel, the views are stunning. The room was excellent, modern and perfectly clean. The food is fantastic and staff were absolutely 5 star. I booked a massage while I was there and it was wonderful, so my recommendation is to stay here if you get a chance! Will definitely stay again.
it was great - the hotel garden and short trip down to the beach was brilliant
parking was a bit tricky (the car park is quite small) but there are usually places in nearby roads
The beds were uncomfortable, carpets were stained and very old, the whole place is very dated, the spa is not a spa. The pool is very small. We got a room at the back, constant noise from the fans or whatever was making that noise. Very expressive for the experience, we won’t be returning.
Room was quite small, but beautifully located on second floor with huge comfortable bed and lovely view of the beach. Excellent service by all staff we encountered. Did not try food, but drinks and reception staff efficient and very helpful. Would return, hopefully ASAP.
Great hotel in a fantastic location. Our room was spotless. Lovely restaurant with an amazing view. Kids and adults both loved the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Fabulous position and staff are efficient, professional and friendly.
The rooms could do with some updating. They are dated. Nicer furniture and some fresh paint would do it.
Just back from a 2 night stay over the bank Holiday in superior sea view room. Views were simply outstanding. Room was large and recently refurbished with a good shower and a big bed. Lots of power sockets. Fresh clean blackout curtains. We walked down the beach to the Cabin for Pimms and snacks. Cabin is also owned by the hotel. Further down on the left is another cafe called Down the Beach which does breakfasts and drinks on the morning. We didnt use the plunge pool as much - retreated as it was full and noisy. tiny kids were using the Jacuzzi unsupervised. Gymn well equipped. Overall a good stay and we will certainly be back
We stayed in a superior seaview double room which was on the 3rd floor. Take note there is no lift at the hotel. The room was spacious and comfortably fitted. The view was amazing over Swanage. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
