    A bit of history looking for a major overhaul?
    Yes, this place has an imposing facade...an old railway hotel straight out of the Victorian age. It is right opposite the station, but, to be honest, on this Saturday night the trains did not seem to disturb us. Our room was clean and decorated to fit the age of the…

    Fabulous looking facade
    I stayed here for two nights arriving about 7.15pm. It was not possible to get to the locked reception but the person behind the bar had my form. I paid my money, filled out the form and was given my key and told where the room was. I was very tired after a 5 hour journey and…

    Good Value for Money.
    Stayed for a Saturday night, the staff in the bar were extremely friendly and helpful letting us check in early which was a great help. The room was basic but very clean, spacious and with a comfortable bed. I think people leaving 1 star reviews need to manage there expectations…

    remember me? I'm Sue Marshall, deaf that I'll never come to grand Victorian again cos of not clean room and no lift, difficultly staircase and not enough vegetarian dinner sorry, I stayed there early last year.
    Hi Sue Thanks for your feed back. I have checked my records and I believe you came to us either before I took over or shortly after. We have come along way since then and our standards have dramatically improved. The lift issue is out of my control as it’s a listed building and we cannot put one in. We are however building 18 extra rooms which will have disabled access. These will be completed by the end of this year. Again thank you for your feed back and I wish you all the luck in the future. Kind regards Steve stevens (GM Grand Victorian Hotel)

    Oh dear - we're booked to visit your hotel next week but after reading the hideous reviews we feel we have no choice but to cancel. Can you offer any guarantees that we won't be seriously disappointed if we don't cancel?????
    Hello Gill Thanks for your Query. My Mobile no is 07914785335. Give me a call at your Lesuire and we can discuss. When you call if you give me a telephone no and I can call you back. Kind regards Steve stevens (GM Grand Victorian Hotel)

    We should not have to make you aware of dirty rooms as you are the management you should inspect each room yourself, and see each room is super clean, as you seem to be wasting money on cleaner's that can not clean.
    the rooms are checked but not on a daily basis as I am very busy not just running the hotel but a bar and function room and restaurant. each time there is a review all hotel staff get shown and action is taken if needed.

    Hello what better room? Have you read your reviews about your rooms I would rather remove the whole upsetting business from our thoughts and I would not even admit to even staying at your hotel thanks for the unfortunate memory I whish I did not have one very unhappy customer!!!!!!!
    we do have a couple of rooms that have had work done to them already, but when guests do not let us know about problems and then just put them on a review we cannot do anything to help.

    Why if this hotel is so bad , has the manager not done something to put all their wrongs right and got so cleaners that know how to clean to a high standerd?because my daughter and myself have never felt so dirty after staying there we still have nightmares about it . Send for the hotel inspector thats what we say It would make a great program for TV thanks
    we are sorry you did not like your room at the grand Victorian hotel we are in the process of updating all the rooms but as i'm sure you will appreciate this does take time when you have a busy hotel. so there will be no need to go on a tv show thanks. perhaps if you had made us aware that you were unhappy we could have moved you to a better room.

    "Check basic facilities work when you book."
    "make sure you double check with the hotel that the room you have booked is available."
    "Couldn’t get hair dryer to work spent ages trying to figure it out only to discover a hairdryer in the draw...."
    "Room 7 was excellent, with a lovely bathroom."
    "I had a room at the back and so there was no noise from drinkers in the bar or from trains at the railway station opposite."
