Breakfast is expensive at $40 or $30 if pre-booked. Parking is also expensive at $30 a day in the adjacent parking facility. A small but not insignificant thing - the towels weren’t really up to the standard you’d expect of this hotel which is otherwise lovely given its position.

While showing signs of its age now, this hotel remains a pleasant place to stay. Rooms have been updated nicely, although the bed wasn’t as comfortable as is expected at this class of property. Location is amazing. Literally right on the beach. Rooms were well cleaned and daily servicing couldn’t be faulted. Some of the common areas (eg lobby) look tired and the downstairs windows and doors were overdue for a clean. The car parking requires a voucher from reception every time you exit, which became annoying. Staff were pleasant, but a little disengaged.

The Grand was ok. Room was comfortable and very clean. Towels etc were very clean.
However, a few things were not up to scratch.
1. The bathroom had a climb in shower. OK for young people but not for oldies or those with physical health difficulties. We are 79 and 77 respectively.
2. The breakfast room was very cold. We had to dress very warmly just to have breakfast. Breakfast was reasonably good.
3. The room. We missed welcoming biscuits when we arrived, and a small fresh milk. Just little things but they make a difference. Just 4 tea bags supplied.
4. The outside of the window was filthy.
5. The carpark was $30 overnight. I would have thought that a higher subsidy would be welcome.

Location is 5 star as you can step into a restaurant, the beach, on a tram or catch a bus to the airport all within 100m! Great bar and restaurant in the hotel. we got a free upgrade on arrival, so felt like royalty with 200 degree views of the ocean to the city! Breakfast is good, not overly fancy but completely adequate and family friendly. Definitely be back!

Marketed as five-star, but the rating seems to ride on the location and not much more.
Interiors feel tired, and the rooms lack luxury. Towels are rough and carry a lingering smell of cooking grease—more budget motel than premium stay. Coffee is reduced to a kettle and sachets; no pod machine. There’s also no visible effort toward sustainability—no recycling bins in the room or anywhere obvious in the hotel.
Sleep is a gamble - noise bleeds in from every direction: promanade maintenance crews blasting music from their vehicles through night/early hours, late-night bar crowds, and poorly sealed balcony doors that do nothing to block it out. Ocean view rooms you can see planes flight path, loudly passing every few minutes.
The balcony has no furniture, unless you’re dragging chairs back and forth as nothing supplied appropriate to be left outside.
Overall stay was not a 5* experience—it wasn’t even close, I won’t be returning.

The $30 per day for parking is very expensive when you consider how much it costs to stay in the hotel.
The extras in the room are not replaced daily, shower cap, sanitary bag, vanity set.
Was told at the grand bar we had a $50 credit for staying in the hotel only to find out this is only if you book direct with the hotel.
Pool chairs broken and need cushions due to stretching make them quite uncomfortable.

The rooms are absolutely huge and the hotel has an amazing location but the facility is very dated. Needs a fresh coat of paint and a deep cleaning.

Everything seems like it’s stuck in the late 90s or early 2000s especially the beachside bar.

The deal breaker was the bathroom cleanliness. This place was disgusting. Sooooooooo much hair on the bathroom floor (multiple colours too!). Seriously, I don’t think they clean the floors between guests.

The front desk staff was extra helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, they’re not the ones cleaning the floors between guests.

Very good hotel, good cleanliness, polite staff. We stayed in the \"Ocean view room\" and loved it. Excellent ambience with the constant sight of the beach from our room Even the decor in the Reception and above the stairs was beautiful.
We received a complimentary sparkling wine to celebrate hubby's birthday and our anniversary, which was very thoughtful and a pleasant surprise. Would highly recommend staying in this hotel.

Our only suggestion to the hotel would be to change the carpets in the rooms and the entire hotel.

Rooms are also a bit run down, shower drains don’t really work and the bath doors are somewhat rotten due to excess moisture and water. Positives for this hotel is the location and outdoor pool.

We stayed at the Stamford about 10 years ago, and at the time we thought it was a great hotel. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like much maintenance has been done in the interim. On the plus side, the room was spacious, however, the carpets and furniture were stained, the doors to the wardrobe didn’t slide open easily, and a drawer front came off in my hand when I used it.

We let reception know about the drawer and cupboard, and they fixed the drawer but not the sliding door. The building still looks impressive from the outside but really does need a refurbishment.

Room and hotel more widely could do with a refresh. Everything seemed tired, faded and a bit scuffed. Smelly floor drain in bathroom for duration of stay (hotel's solution was to have someone come and pour scented liquid into it). Shower drain blocked on first night (had just arrived from a very long flight) and we ended up with wet carpet in the main room area for the rest of the stay. Was expecting better for the room rate. That said, bed v comfortable, the ocean views were incredible (the sunsets...) and it's in an excellent location. If a bit of money was spent on painting, carpets and modernising, she could easily be back to her former premium level.

Initial city view room on floor 11 had a constant hum from the fans which kept us up all night, windows didn't open so felt stuffy. Showers on that site are in a bathtub so not accessible. Got moved to another floor with a sea view which was nice but had to pay extra, despite having one of the worse sleeps of my life on our first night. Overall the hotel is a little tired and dated in terms of fit-out. There's a nightclub downstairs so some noise will come through on weekends until midnight
