We booked the budget rooms which were surprisingly spacious. The conservatory has lovely views of the water and it’s very easy to walk to the sea. We would return.

Room was clean tidy and fresh some refurbishment going on outside of building and in other parts of buildings. Staff helpful booking in was easy, parking limited at hotel
Steve, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were upgraded when we arrived to a Seaview room. The room was a nice size, very clean with a wonderful view. Having steps straight onto a beautiful beach was amazing. The hotel staff very friendly and informative. We enjoyed using the Spa facilities. The only slight issue was there is very little parking however there is road side parking and if you do have to paid to park they do reimburse you.
Jenny, 2-night trip

If you stay for more than a couple days then the menu was very limited

Penny, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is a little dated , very clean , nice staff , excellent food . Good room with super views
Mark, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The view is fantastic, the best in Swanage. Everything else is average or poor. Grand is a misnomer for a faded 3-star hotel. The restaurant was limited and dining was last orders at 7:45pm. The parking was inadequate for guests, so we had to walk to public parking. The room was okay. Modern, but cheaply furnished. TV old fashioned. Breakfast had few continental options. No cold cuts. Staff friendly enough, but rarely seen. Can’t really recommend the place, apart from the wonderful view.
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful 3 day stay at the Grand. We booked the lowest cost room which was compact but comfortable. We had a great view over the sea. Staff were helpful and food was great. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub, and its possible to walk to the beach for a plunge. Its a pleasant 10 minute walk to the town centre.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We found the staff outstanding at this historic property with a breathtaking water view! The hot tub and sauna were a welcome treat after a day of hiking. Parking was not a problem but there is limited space in the parking lot. The neighborhood was quiet for a relaxing break, with the town centre close at hand if you want to stroll along the waterfront.

The reception staff were excellent and our rooms lovely if a little hot. It was also quite difficult not having a lift because my father is blind.
Rachel, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very enjoyable one night stay.

Friendly and informative reception. My comfortable sea view room had an excellent sea view and view of Swanage. Very good shower. I had time for a splash around in the pleasant little spa pool. Very good dinner with interesting choices. Not cheap, but very good quality, so still good value. good breakfast in the morning. I'd happily stay again another time.
