Okay stay
Beautiful historic building but not as clean as it could be. Windows filthy, fan and iron in our room were extremely dirty. Fan blew dust everywhere. Bed was nice and comfy. Carpets need a deep clean. Was a grand hotel in its day and with some work could be a nice place again

Disappointing stay in Hartlepool
We stayed here for 2 nights, but had to move from our 1st room due to broken window and kettle. We moved next door which was okay, but the cleanliness ciuld have been better. Window sills were filthy and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling above the window.
Outside was quite noisy at night.
We never got asked if we wanted to pay for breakfast or needed to book a table for a meal. So although its called a Grand Hotel it isnt quite that on the inside.

Needs a little more attention to details like a broken blind or no blackout curtains and unusable door chain. Staff do their best and are friendly. Good breakfasts. The bathrooms are big but single beds a wee bit narrow. All in all though really pretty good.

A memorable hotel with brilliant staff
We arrived to find we had been booked into double rooms with a double bed but had requested twin beds as we were a group of six elderly men! The reception staff went out of their way to accommodate us with this request, giving us alternative rooms.
W also had a great breakfast here.
The reception staff were professional, welcoming and went out of their way to facilitate our needs.

Grand Hotel Hartlepool
Interesting first stay at Grand Hotel Hartlepool i am sure once it was a very plush hotel but starting to look a bit tired these days most annoying was noisy plumbing which did wake me up sometimes but staff were all very friendly and moved me after problems with my tv and Internet

Excellent staff, hotel clean and friendly. Victorian hotel which has been updated, found bath tabs difficult to operate. Seagull screeching at dawn, beware if you want a lie in.

It is what it is. A hotel in the centre of Hartlepool. No frills, a bed and a shower. Clean but not new or stylish. Local vicinity doesn’t have much going on.

Small room was clean but needs attention. Kettle has wiring problem . Sink taps drip . Shower doors don't close, no bed side table or shelf for specs or phone. Had a third floor room and lift wasn't working. Nowhere to hang towels Room wasn't made up for second night stay. Breakfast not included. limited parking. Plus point + had a very good Indian Restaurant in Cellar area.

Excellent place to stay
Amazing! Felt so looked after, Anne and Irene are friendly, considerate and an asset to Best Western. Comfortable stay, there’s still some renovations taking place but didn’t affect the quality of our stay. The staff made us feel very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, plenty to do, lots of easy to reach places - fabulous
