We visited the Grand Hotel for one night to meet up with friends. Having stayed before, we booked one of the sea view rooms as they have a fantastic view over the bay. We had booked a special rate by phone and this was all confirmed on arrival. No need for credit card on arrival as they only wanted it on departure. The room was clean and warm and the bed very comfortable and it had a lovely window seat.

The hotels is well located for access to the beach and the town centre. There is a bar to the rear with sport on the TV and the hotel lounge bar is very comfortable and warm with good service.

We did not have dinner in the hotel, but the breakfast had an excellent selection with main meals cooked to order. The service was very good.

This was a very enjoyable stay and I would recommend this hotel and we wished we had a second night. We will definitely be back in the future.

Please be aware this hotel turns its heating of from 11pm to 5am. We stayed in January. Freezing cold!!

We only got there by chance, as our ferry to Amsterdam was cancelled ... and we quite liked it! Imposing facade, splendid location with beach view, impressing spiral staircase, cosy room (222) with four poster and phantastic view. Only let down: the clumsy, absolutely unprofessional young waitresses in the bar and in the restaurant that evening – as someone already wrote here: “some of the most disinterested service staff I have ever come across. I don't know where they managed to find such a ridiculous, incompetant bunch“. Otherwise, the food was amazingly good – and breakfast, too. A good base to explore the fascinating coast northwards, towards Holy Island!

First ever visit to Tynemouth , and had relied on Trip Advisor reviews whwn choosing The Grand. Classic Victorian Style but completely refurbished.
Really excellent and comfortable sea-view bedroom with stunning views. Staff were extremely helpful, and we even got a complete guided tour of the Hotel from the Head Housekeeper, obviously very proud of the hotel standard and quality. Previous guest have included Dame Vera Lynn; Laurel and Hardy; Mike and Bernie Winters etc....and I can see why they chose The Grand. The car never moved for the 5 days we were there, and we walked on the beach every day. We will definitely be back!
