Sitting smack bang in the middle of Sydney is the revered, much-loved and oft-recommended institution that is The Grand Hotel. Sprawling over three floors, it boasts a pub, a bottle shop, and a bar, as well as the requisite old-school pub accommodation that one would expect from such a venerable old building.
The ground floor of the Grand is mostly taken up with an oak-panelled pub, and partly with a bottle shop. Within the second floor of the Grand Hotel resides 30 Knots, a modern pub with a maritime feel serving stylish modern pub food, along with a selection of impressive craft beers.
One level higher still is the Pool Room, a sun-filled room boasting old-world charm that entertains 60 guests comfortably. Both 30 Knots and the Pool Room are available for exclusive hire. While the ground floor is well-loved, it is unavailable for hire. The two upper levels, however, are endlessly popular function venues, for everything from bucks parties and birthdays, business functions and cocktail parties.

Reviews for The Grand Hotel

They make it very diffcult to cancel. We have emailed twice and tried calling 3 numbers. 1 unavailable (found on our booking email), 1 disconnected and 1 to a nice bar lady who transferred us back to phone number 1 which was still unavailable (on a Tuesday) No reply back from anyone yet (4 days and counting) and we are scared we will find a charge on the day despite our best efforts to make them aware. "No cancellation fees" only count when you're actually able to cancel.

We picked this place for its walking proximity to the botanical gardens, and waterfront near some good birding. It's a bit dormatory style with the showers and toilets down the hall. On the first floor is the pub and there is an elevator to go upstairs. Across the street is a mini-mart.

Large room had only a single central light, making it very dim at night. Unpleasant musty smell. Wash basin was in room, not in bathroom. Elevator door has to be manually opened and closed. This is an old building, no hotel lobby - front desk is at the bar. Decided to go elsewhere without staying the night, and the manager refused to refund the second night. Manager was brusk, confrontational, not interested in our experience, pretty much just cared about "running a business" (read: taking customer's money).

The Grand hotel is anything but grand. The hotel is stuck in the 60’s. The carpet is threadbare, the lightbulb emits less light than the curtain covering the windows and if you are lucky you will get a window with glass in. - I wasn’t so lucky, although I did have a neighbouring air con unit try and drown out the noise.

Lovely staff signed us in only to get into our room and step back into time to 1912. The room was soo old and lack luster we jumped online to book elsewhere. The fact the bathrooms are shared community bathrooms in the hallway also was a deal breaker. Lesson learnt for me when booking a room.
