The hotel boasts a stunning aesthetic and delicious dining options, complemented by accommodating staff and a very clean environment. However, the noise from construction was quite disruptive, making it hard to enjoy the balcony during my stay. Also, the decor feels a bit too modern for such a historic venue, lacking the charm one might expect.

My stay at the hotel was delightful, especially thanks to the charming character and spacious rooms. The location couldn't be better, with close proximity to various bars and restaurants, creating a vibrant atmosphere. While I truly enjoyed the hospitality of the staff and the cleanliness of the place, I found the decor slightly lacking in personality. A couple of noisy neighbors during the weekend and some construction sounds did affect the peace a bit, but overall, it was a memorable visit.

The hotel has a great historic charm and a lovely pub with a welcoming atmosphere. However, my experience was marred by cleanliness issues in the rooms and uncomfortable bedding, which made my stay less enjoyable than anticipated. The lack of basic amenities and maintenance in the rooms really stood out, making me reconsider staying here again.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and the atmosphere was lively, especially during the weekend. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a charming old-world feel, although the bathroom could use some updates. The location is perfect, just a short walk to beautiful beaches and a variety of restaurants. On the downside, parking can be a bit tricky, but overall, it's great value for the price.

I had a decent stay at The Grand Hotel. The room was comfortable with a cozy queen bed, but I did have some issues with the parking situation and the damp smell in the room. Dining at the bistro was enjoyable, despite a slight delay in service. Overall, it's a solid option for a short city stay, but be prepared for some quirks.
