The Grand Hotel is in an excellent location overlooking the harbour and ferry port and yet relatively quiet. There are good bus connections to Victoria very close by (and the buses are efficient and cheap). Our room was large with a view over the outdoor pool (too cold weather to use it) and sea beyond. Clean and spacious. There was free WiFi though on the 7th floor the signal was just about OK but dropped occasionally.
Food. We ate burgers from the bar: good value. We also tried the main restaurant for dinner: the set menu was fine and the portions were generous and the buffet day was a varied spread. Breakfast was plentiful with much choice. Packed lunch had a meat and fish option (fine for us but not so great for veggies though I’m sure you could make a request).
Friendly service helped everything along and we had no problems. All in all, a good stay.
