My family and I were very concerned about staying here after reading the reviews (I actually thought I had booked the Grand Medina...not the Grand Merivale...little confusing when looking at online reviews!). But we had booked and paid online through Wotif for our family to stay 1 night so we held our breath...and were pleasantly surprised! The service was almost... More

I booked this hotel to meet a friend for a weekend, because it was the cheapest available in the city and our budget was limited. I need to use a lift due to arthritis. The door was very heavy, and the lift did not arrive level with the outside. The twin room was adequate, although the power connections were antiquated... More

On my recent trip to Australia with my boyfriend we paid a deposit to stay in the Grand Hotel and in the end we didn't even bother to stay! We arrived on a Sunday morning at 10am. The first issue was that it was on top of a pub - I didn't quite realise that it was literally on top... More

We booked a room that sleeps 4, including continental breakfasts for the next morning. When we arrived we were given a room that only slept 3 people. When we queried this, we were provided another room with a single bed in it for our 4th person - on a different floor. Acceptable, but annoying given that we all wanted to... More

The location of this place is great being only five minutes walk from Circular Quay. I think people need to keep in mind this is a pub with rooms over the top it's not a hotel. Sydney is expensive so you won't get much for the money paid for this place. It's a city pub with old tired rooms which... More

As other reviewers have noted, the location is excellent, and 2 mins walk from the Wynyard train station, very central. I booked a single room, which was 'upgraded' to a twin room. The first night of three, I slept in the bed near the window - bad choice, it was badly tilted to the left! The only real annoyance I... More

This hotel is very basic but represents excellent value for money. The place is quite old but in good condition and spotlessly clean! Bathrooms and bedrooms are very clean which can sometimes be a rare. Breakfast was self serve and adequate. Although in the city centre it was not too noisy and really well located to transport.

After reading other reviews before staying here I was a little worried. When I arrived though I found that it was what I expected (prior to reading reviews) a pub in a great location. What do people expect from a pub, you cannot compare its services with a hotel/motel. Our checkin was very good, remember that it is a pub... More
