Grand Hotel Swanage

Great hotel great area

View la are amazing

Rooms need updating also the dinner lounge needs attention and the SPA needs refurbishing. Cook breakfast needs some attention first morning ordered pouched eggs and mushrooms their where placed on the plate with one mushroom cut into two no presentation saw no love had gone into making it second morning order scramble eggs and mushrooms got half a mushroom WHY? No presentation again no effort had gone into it. Partner order full English literally one sausage one egg half mushroom one slice of bacon half tomato and some beans …. Chef you need to put more love and presentation into the food that is going out . out of 10 I score the food a 3. Overall a nice located hotel that needs to be refurbished everywhere and rethink how you cook and present your food with these changes potentially could be a great hotel. However staff were lovely helpful and welcoming. Do not think I would stay there again unless they make some changes as it stands not worth the money the are charging.

Good view. Polite staff. Liked the sauna and jacuzzi. Good food. Nice garden. The hotel seemed clean and had a bit of character to it. Stairs from the garden directly to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay.

Long wait for our table for dinner. Nothing to do with the hotel, but there were a lot dogs on the beach and areas of the path were not very clean as a result.

Friendly staff, clean room and excellent shower. The pool and spa is great.

The mattress in my room was a little uncomfortable and may need replacing. The lift is very slow.

Couldn’t fault the Friendly staff, clean room, nice breakfast

Dinner service was slow. Almost 50 mins from ordering to getting my meal. Then the quality was not great. Salmon over cooked and new potatoes obviously reheated in a microwave- awful. I was glad it was just one nights stay.

The impressive staircase was worth the room rate alone ,it has a lovely beech front location and I will 100% stay here again if I come back to visit.

I wish the room was a bit warmer

Fantastic atmosphere - an 'old' hotel that has been thoughtfully modernised. As a sea swimmer I was delighted that facilities include a pool, sauna, hydro-pool (plus a fully-stocked gym) - I was not expecting this, nor how welcoming the gym staff are! The rooms are clean and modern, facilities are impressive, and the meals (and the views from the dining-room) are wonderful. It exceeded my expectations, and I will be returning.

The only issue is with parking but I understand there is free access to a long-term carpark within a 5 minute walk.

Top notch always amazing
