- SSheila11/05/2022Beautiful and amazingBeautiful and amazingI stayed at the Grand Hotel for two nights in January, for my daughters wedding. My stay was superb from the moment I stepped out of the car. The two gentlemen door staff were first class and were the most helpful and friendly they calmed me on what was a stressful afternoon. The wedding coordinator was there even though we had never met offering support too. The sea view rooms are absolutely stunning, inland room which we were in not as stunning but very clean neat and very nice too. The wedding took place on Sunday at the hotel and I honestly wholeheartedly can say everything was spectacular my daughter was not bothered with anything the staff took care off everything for managing the suppliers off flowers to musicians they were fantastic.

- PPeter11/05/2022It was perfectIt was perfectWe stayed at the Grand for four nights for our daughter’s wedding in Brighton It was perfect. Even though we only booked a standard inland double it was large and beautifully appointed. And at an offer rate of £99 per room per night including breakfast - a bargain. The hotel is, well, grand, but very nicely refurbished blending old and new seamlessly.We stayed at the Grand for four nights for our daughter’s wedding in Brighton It was perfect.

- BBarry11/05/2022A credit to your organisationA credit to your organisationI just wanted to pass on my gratitude to the staff who were serving food for a wedding meal for Humza and Kaleigh in the evening on the 24th February. We were staying in room --- and unfortunately for a number of reasons my wife and children could not stay downstairs to enjoy the lovely food for the wedding. However, one of the members of staff who was serving was extremely helpful and took it upon herself to take each meal up to my wife and children. Not only was this very kind, it also transformed our experience of staying in your hotel and meant that we had a lovely stay. I cannot over emphasis how professional, friendly and supportive she was and was a complete credit to your organisation. My only regret is that I did not get a chance to tip her and thank her personally as I suspect that she was too busy serving all the other guests. Please accept my gratitude and I hope that this feedback could find its way back to the people who served the food – thank you BarryI just wanted to pass on my gratitude to the staff who were serving food for a wedding meal for Humza and Kaleigh in the evening on the 24th February.
