Why you'll love The Grand Hotel

  • A 4-minute walk from the Wynyard transit station
  • Bright and airy rooms provide free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, minifridges
  • Equipped with a nautical-themed restaurant offering pub food

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.

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.

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.

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.

This hotel is far from grand. At this price point, I don't expect to be pampered with 5-star luxuries—I just want decent, clean and well-maintained accommodation as a minimum, and this place seriously falls short of that. After being amazed by the majestic and historical façade of the building, I was totally dismayed upon seeing that the interior is poorly-maintained, not just old. The carpets on the corridor are crumbling and full of dust. The room that my wife and I stayed in was dusty, stuffy and had paint peeling everywhere. An electrical socket was just hanging out of the wall with live parts exposed. The bathroom's hairdryer wasn't even working. The lift has a manually-operated door that can only be opened by a weightlifter. We were staying for only one night, so I really feel sorry for those staying longer. The only advantage of this hotel is its location.
