The rooms were fine but there is no air conditioning so in hot weather it may not suit some people.
For the price including breakfast and parking it is good value.
Our room was modernised but the bathroom had old style taps that were difficult to turn on and off.

The staff here are outstandingly friendly, helpful and professional.
The restaurant in the basement is first class for food and, once again, the staff are incredible.
Even if you don't stay at the hotel, try the restaurant, you won't be disappointed.
The hotel is in a lovely building and the public areas are very nice.
However, the room I had was very tired.
It needed a new shower and there were water stains on the ceiling and walls where they must have had a water leak above and it hadn't been painted.
The wifi was very weak and I couldn't do any online work in my room.
Overall though, it is a well placed hotel with great staff and I would stay there again because of this fact.

Room cleanliness could have been better, grubby light switches, broken blind, All
Functional but just ok ☹️ bed very uncomfortable
Hairdryer, iron, fan, provided and all working. Room was on top floor and
Extremely warm, mid heatwave and heating on!!! Stayed there for 2 nights for a family wedding which was on site, very poor bar service , quickly ran out of peroni, people ended up being owed change as they had none in the tills, certainly not what we expected when they knew 100+ people would be attending😡
On a positive note breakfast was quite nice and a good choice of hot and cold options, guy who tended the breakfast room could not be faulted.

Stayed in room 208.
The bathroom door would not keep closed after trying a few times.
1 of the windows wouldn't close.
There was a stain on one of the pillow slips.
We did report these to Richard in the morning of check out.

Helpful staff, good Wi-Fi. That's the positives out of the way. You actually have to park across the road in the job centre car park. My room had a raging hot radiator with no controls in May. Reception guy turned it off with a spanner, appreciated. Single Room: Outdated, grotty and only made over (a bit) every other day. Window latch broken, wobbly furniture, deadlock broken, no bedside table or shelf, no hooks or towel rails in bathroom, taps you cant operate with wet hands due to lack of grip, macerating toilet which gave off a whiff of mouldering fecal matter from time to time, slowest lift in the world, noisy street outside and strong cooking smells from restaurant below even 3 floors up. I think this is one for Walk With Me Tim.

In the town centre. Great breakfast buffet All freshly prepared. Rooms are clean and quiet and cleaning staff are excellent nothing ever a problem unfortuantely its only a few people for such a large building. Very conformable beds and very clean. Great wifi and TV channels. Bar is lovely but never anyone there and stock is poor you cant even get a bottle still water. In house man Richard who is chef handyman reception security and everyrhing else this place would not function like it does as he is a man of many hats and he defientley should be made manager the amount he speaks highly of the place. Well worth a stay and prices are excellent

Been staying in and out of here over last 6 month this time being more than 30 days. Yes its an old building but keep a building this size will always have little faults. All issues were instantly rectified. The staff were amazing and got to know quite a few personally. Hosuekeeping team excellent gang and cleanliness was always great. Richard the chef / reception/ security / maintenance was always there and always running around doing so many things. Personally he is the man thay keeps this running plus he does a great breakfast. Sadly coffee is very poor quality and orange juice but you get a great buffett selction and pastries. Kill the classical music its very depressing in the morning in the breakfast room. Place has a great bar and underneath hotel a great indian restraunt. Hotel is central.100% would choose this each time

Very Nice looking hotel from outside very prestigious untill you get inside notices stuck all over entrance door very limited parking avalible.
On going up to room on 1st floor Room 105 the was a smell of dampness. On entering room door had to be pushed shut or it would not close have to check everytime you leave room door is closed. Heating was next to useless and sink taps where on the wrong way round cold is Hot and Hot is cold my wife nearly burnt her hands. Breakfast is nice but had to keep asking for things to be restocked.

The room was clean, the street outside was noisy into the early hours with people on a night out.
Breakfast was good and plentiful. The staff were all pleasant, and friendly.
There did appear to be very few staff for such a large hotel.
On arrival there was no reception staff at 4pm, telephoning did eventually allow us to be let in.
The bar was depleted of pretty much everything we asked for, beer, mixers etc were all unavailable.
The hotel has a restaurant in the basement, and unfortunately strong cooking smells were evident.
Whilst the hotel has obviously undergone extensive renovations, on-going maintenance appears to be lacking. The shower control had become detached, the hot tap on the baisin was loose, signs of damp/previous leaks were noticeable in a number of areas.
The car park adjacent to the hotel is not in fact the designated car park. There are a few spaces opposite at the front of the job centre, we were advised if full, there was alternative parking nearby.

Single room was like a sauna with window full open and fan going. No adjustment on the big radiator in the small room. As window had to be fully open (safety catch had been removed) it was very loud on a Saturday night until early hrs then the street cleaners start. Room grubby but cheap. Also when I returned from work at 2 in morning no one answered the call button so was locked out. Had to bang on the windows hard. On a plus note the breakfast was good

Quick check in. Room 202 single occupancy. Decent size bathroom. Then down hill! Instant stench of smoke hits you as you open the door. Unable to open the window due to 3 large screws securing it shut. Proceed to go to the bar to get away from the stench to be told no internet connection to connect to via contactless for a drink. So goes over to the local town centre for a walk out. Gets back to the hotel to find the neighbouring room is having a rave. Music goes on for as long as I could bare, rang down the receptionist was helpful and did give the neighbour a knock. Music eventually turned off. I know this a budget one night stay. But if you have a window that does open. You’d expect to be able to use it. Also for a hotel/pub/resturant there has been a smoking ban for years. How can the domestics not smell it? Probably nose blind to the lack of fresh air coming through the window.

Disappointing stay in Hartlepool

We stayed here for 2 nights, but had to move from our 1st room due to broken window and kettle. We moved next door which was okay, but the cleanliness ciuld have been better. Window sills were filthy and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling above the window.
Outside was quite noisy at night.
We never got asked if we wanted to pay for breakfast or needed to book a table for a meal. So although its called a Grand Hotel it isnt quite that on the inside.

A memorable hotel with brilliant staff

We arrived to find we had been booked into double rooms with a double bed but had requested twin beds as we were a group of six elderly men! The reception staff went out of their way to accommodate us with this request, giving us alternative rooms.
W also had a great breakfast here.
The reception staff were professional, welcoming and went out of their way to facilitate our needs.

Second visit. Despite my better judgement, I thought I’d try once more - this time by booking a suite. I opened the door - it was huge! 4m high ceilings. And then the overwhelming smell of sewers. Went to the bathroom, ran the hot water in the sinks bath and shower. Popped the plugs in and hoped it would dissipate. Came back after dinner 2hrs later, the smell was worse. It had filled the whole room. I asked to be moved, and was moved to a standard room. I then asked for the difference to be refunded - I’d paid £90 for the suit, over the £28 for a standard - hoping for a better experience. This proved not possible, and subsequent emails have rendered no response. To add insult to injury - The room had a bin with the previous occupants teabag in and a turd in the loo. I didnt want to leave this account of my stay. If you need to stay in Hartlepool, avoid this place like the plague.

Could be better in a derelict town

Nobody was attending the reception desk on our arrival, we had to wait and finally found someone quite nonchalant by the bar.
The room had been refurbished recently and presented well, despite the housekeeping not being their principal concern as we found some personal items from the previous occupant.
The view from the room was quite concerning and the front of the hotel says it all about the cleanliness and the attention to details.
The morning was a lot better with a warm welcoming lady attending the reception desk and looking after the breakfast buffet. This was well presented and of good quality.

It was stiflingly hot on the 3rd floor as the bathroom radiator was on all the time. Luckily there was a fan but did not feel safe to use it all night. There were silver fish in the bathroom and the kettle didn’t work. The bathroom tiles were grubby and the shower didn’t drain so I was standing in an 2 inch pool of water.
