We really enjoyed this hotel. Is a really interesting building right in the middle of Nassau, very charming, we loved our room, which was very big, altogether a big plus and a big thumbs up.

Awful hotel. Spend your money elsewhere. Incredibly rude staff. Hotel wouldn’t let us on the property due to a fire and then wouldn’t refund our money after we had to get lodging elsewhere due to what the hotel staff told us. These people are thieves.

Mr Baldock, our staff was NOT rude to you nor did anyone deny you entry to the property. The road was blocked for approximately 30 mins by fire trucks extinguishing a fire across the street which had nothing to do with the hotel. When you called we advised you that your room was available but no refunds would be given as there was no damage to the hotel. Had you really come to the hotel and walked from your taxi to the gate there were at least 3 persons to assist you in checking in. Other guests did it.You obviously had no intention of staying with us and are using this to claim a refund.

Stayed four nights, two adults. It’s an old building but it was very clean. Not a good property if you have trouble with stairs, since most of the rooms are upstairs. There is traffic noise and you can hear the piano and diners but that’s over by 11 pm. The food is overpriced for the quality but the wine is fantastic! The property is beautiful and must have been incredible in its heyday, but is overgrown and falling apart a bit. It’s an easy walk down the hill to Bay Street but the up is a workout. The staff and service was phenomenal!

Beautiful historic hotel, excellent service. Hotel is in an isolated area away from other shops and restaurants, it requires walking along a dangerous busy street to reach the downtown. Hotel and food are fantastically expensive.

What was once a lovely old property has fallen in to neglect. There are some definite highlights from our stay - Dimitri at the front was wonderful, helpful, incredibly kind & friendly. The tour of the wine cellar was interesting; the large pool was gorgeous although the other pool was dirty & gardens unkempt. There was never any staff at the pool. The rooms were very spacious & elegant however had not been updated in quite some time, they smelled musty and my husband sneezed every time he walked in. The "jacuzzi" bath was a deathtrap, a gorgeous marble top around it made it impossible to get in / out of without straddling it & hoping not to slip. There was grouting missing, & the plug was impossible to put in the bath as it had so much limescale; same with the shower head. There was the renmants of a wasp nest on the shutter, I tried to open them so we could get some fresh air. The towels were thin & small. Breakfast was awful. We arrived the night of the Junkanoo, and as we came home at 1:30am, there was a very drunken woman having a very loud conversation with her friend in the courtyard; I also had to go outside to ask the gentleman getting ready on the patio to stop yelling to his friends, there was also another guest who loudly spoke to his phone in the sitting areas / dining rooms. We had to walk through the parking lot to get to our room as the gardens were closed and there was construction, which felt weird. Overall not what you'd expect for $500 night.

We stayed four nights and had a fantastic experience. The hotel is gorgeous and storied, the staff are unparalleled in their kindness and service; the gem inside the hotel is the restaurant and the sitting room where we enjoyed a signature champagne cocktail and listened to the fantastic house band. A truly fantastic experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend.

The Graycliff is a stunning property and we had the most amazing stay. Once you enter the Graycliff it is like stepping back in time where the ambience and excellence is at the forefront of your visit. The staff are attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The dining experience is something not to be missed and there is a pianist every night to add to the atmosphere and mystique of the Graycliff experience. Our stay truly was amazing and the history of the place adds to the uniqueness. To also stay at the same location as royalty and countless celebrities is the icing on the cake………. Graycliff - Don’t ever change!! Thank you for a wonderful stay

What an amazing stay and in the heart of downtown Nassau. If you have the extra money to spend I recommend this place, literally a mansion! Read their history and you’ll understand. Poolside service, cigars in their patios and amazing food, Graycliff didn’t disappoint! Thank you to all the kind staff as well, you guys were amazing, hope to see you again soon.

Coming back.
My wife and I stayed at the Graycliff. I was scouting the location with the thought of bringing back a group of business people with me for an event at Graycliff. I loved how unique the property is. There are lots of resorts, but this is a special place. It is an old building, the grounds are peaceful. We found the staff to be helpful but not always in our space, which we liked. We will definitely be returning.

First of all, the staff and service went above and beyond and were super kind and helpful. The restaurant and food was fantastic. The room was clean, but I believe that the air quality was poor because a day after staying there we developed coughs and i noticed some mildew around the AC vents inside. Wifi was very limited in the room, if available at all. A hot shower was difficult to achieve in the evenings. All in all, it's what i expected given the older elegant building style. It would have been phenomenal if it was maintenanced a little better. The yard and pools were beautiful and not crowded. Regardless of the few issues, we would still stay there again and enjoyed our stay this time too.

Taking in 2 strays....
We are eternally greatful for the willingness of Graycliff to take in two strays. Our flight was cancelled after a number of delays and Graycliff graciously accepted us after a very late booking-and gave us an upgrade. We had always wanted to spend a little time at Graycliff. We were just overwhelmed with the splendid hospitality, the amazing food and the feeling of Graycliff in itself. You can feel the history in every footstep you take. A special thank you to Kendra and the night security.

Thanks for staying with us, we did address your noise issue and moved you to a different suite by the pool which you and your wife advised you were happy we were able to do. And other than your noting when departing that you never had to pay for bottled water we had no other comments. If your stay was so disappointing had you said something during your stay we would have certainly tried to make it better.

In general my stay was good, but there are some complaints, e.g. my room was not made at 15.30 in the afternoon. The shower was not in the best shape, was afraid it brake down when using it. The rates in the restaurant are too high, compared what you get, they are not justified. I have the feeling they only benefit of the name Graycliff.
