Twyning Vacations from $797

Nice clean rooms, lovely breakfast (not free),nice friendly staff, overall a good experience, thank you

Had a great stay at the Olde Bell. The room was clean and full of character. Staff excellent. One thing I would suggest is better quality pillows, they were not great, but the bed was good. The restaurant was really good. Breakfast in the morning was good value

Apartment was clean and spacious. Communication however is terrible. I sent messages to the property on two separate occasions but they didn’t bother to get back to me. They didn’t send pre-check link either so I had to call a few hours before I was due to check in and they sent the link.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the grand. Staff were really friendly and the hotel is beautiful. We stayed on New Year’s Eve and they had a jazz singer performing in madeleine’s bar downstairs which was lovely for drinks before we headed out. However, there were a couple of issues. The room was very cold and no matter what temperature we set the AC, it wasn’t heating up. There was also an issue with the key cards not working for rooms so we had to keep approaching hotel staff to be let into our room. Finally, we requested late checkout, which was accepted, but half an hour before we were meant to check out a member of staff knocked on our door to tell us we needed to check out. I explained that we had requested late checkout and he was very polite and apologised for the communication issue, but I was disappointed by the disorganisation nonetheless. Regardless of these issues, we still had a great time and would stay there again.

Room was nice, clean, and large, but the service was disappointing. The corridors were noisy past midnight and with takeaway food trays in the morning (930am) so floors clearly hadn't been checked. We were also surprised the bar closed at midnight on a Saturday. Staff refused to honor our Expedia "22% off" discount for breakfast but neither reception or dining at the lunch advised us of us and breakfast service made me uncomfortable, I was asked for payment while making tea rather than waiting until I was seated.
