I wouldn't recommend the Grosvenor, except maybe for rugby or beer-drinking trips. The location is good and central and the rooms are clean. The women staff are very helpful. however room decor varies from tasteless to offensive. There is insufficient hot water for warm showers in the morning. Some rooms are very small. I will look for somewhere better to... More

we travelled to timaru for new year, not booked anywhere, came across this lovely grand hotel. stayed a night in a wonderful clean room. had a meal down stairs and also a complimentary breakfast all for $100, would definitely stay here again

I was taken aback by the chic decor of this historical hotel that looked run down from the outside. The moment I stepped into the lobby area, I was transported into a new dimension. I had my reservation before heading to the hotel due to some negative feedbacks, only to be clarified by the staff of circumstances other guests were... More

They have really brought this old beauty into the 21st century without losing any of the charm that older buildings have to offer.

Not only that, the Bass of the music vibarated through the walls making the door jiggle and cups and saucers clatter every single... More

For $220 we paid we got a 2 course meal and cooked breakfast, which was called the Queens package. The staff were friendly and helpful, being winter it was quiet but that is how we liked it. The evening... More

Got up in the morning to cold showers in both rooms informed the young lady in the office she informed us that everybody was... More

stayed here one night en route between Dunedin and Christchurch. Hotel is tucked away down a small side street a few minutes walk from the town centre. If you're looking for an experience of a typical NZ pub/hotel then this is it - the rooms are smallish and basic and have interesting interior decor - the bathroom was a thin... More
