Grand Hotel Sunderland

We used to love this hotel but now it is feeling really tired. Cost cutting is the order of the day.Entrance to the pool can be a little fascist. My wife was forced to sit and wait for another member of staff before she was allowed to enter the pool, despite having her hotel key to hand.We wanted our room cleaned during our multi night stay but staff were resistant to this. If a client pays the same for each of 3 nights as a 1 night stay then clean the room if required.

An OK hotel with very nice staff. Definitely not grand. Everything felt a little bit dated - carpet in the hallways very worn. Very close to the beach.

We enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch at the Grand Hotel, Sunderland on Sunday 13 August. Turkey cooked to perfection, six tasty vegetables, perfect roast potatoes & Yorkshire puds. Nice restaurant with sea views. Polite & friendly staff. Special thanks to Lawrence the chef for his wonderful cooking.

Stayed here for a surprise early birthday gift, a beautiful room, and views of the sea gorgeous.We had breakfast here, too. The selection of food was amazing.

The hotel is slightly dated, but can't complain for the price - very reasonable. Really good location too - right on the coast. Clean room with a lovely sea view. Friendly service on the reception. I stayed for one night. The hotel has a swimming pool - adults only from 8pm. It was really nice to use the pool in the evening and in the morning before I left! There was a small sauna, steam room and fitness suite. Good free parking availability at the hotel too. The hanging signage to the rooms/reception in the hotel needs to be a bit lower, it's partly hidden behind the top of the door frames, however, I'd recommend for anyone making a trip to Sunderland! All in all it was a pleasant stay!

Brilliant place to go. Sea view & great for walks friendly people always happy to help, great breakfast great pubs & restaurants in walking distance also has a health spa & swimming

Lovely hotel, fabulous room, comfortable sofa and sea view. Staff welcoming and friendly. Spa facilities on site but did not use it. Very clean. Parking on site. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again if in area. Great value for money. Loved our stay, thank you!

One of the worst hotels I've ever been in, they don't provide toothbrushes or Toothpaste, the decor is dated, the room and particularly the toilet was incredibly dirty, we were too disgusted to even showerWorst of all, we had no water in our room and they would not get us any water up, they asked us to come downstairs to get our own. I am never coming back here and you should definitely not give it a visit

Came here with the family for Sunday lunch which is very well presented, fresh and quite substantial. The hotel and staff have are lovely and welcoming and with a car park, you don’t have to pay for Council parking.

Few pros and cons to this hotel we stayed for 2 nights. The hotel was very spacious if not dated. Could do with better more up to date decor but it’s perfectly fine for a few nights. It was like a maze when getting to our room lots of stairs to go up. Very confusing layout. Keycard entry. Beds are okay. Reception staff were lovely. Breakfast and the bar were very spacious and easy to navigate. One of the issues that we had was the room was soo hot. I couldn’t sleep properly because every time we went into the room it was like a sauna. We just wanted to get out. Has a great view of the sea front which we visited every day as well as easy access to food places and bars up and down the sea front. Definitely check out the sunrise if you go. We loved it. Toilets in the hotel were lovely very impressive.
