The Grosvenor Hotel

Hotel

The outside of the hotel needs a bit of work but the inside is gorgeous. The restaurant makes an amazing breakfast. The room was a bit of a let down as it was not what was advertised but otherwise still a nice room. The hotel is trying to be environmentally friendly by having two separate bins one for recycling. The staff are friendly. The hotel is very centralised which is fantastic for walking from place to place.

Does were really squeaky, only one PowerPoint in the room on the opposite side meaning I had to get out of bed to answer the phone when it's on charge, had blood all over my towel. Qwerky artwork, certainly doesn't fit the heritage of the building. Found the doors between the hallway and the stairwell really hard to open. Beds appear to be "well used", may need new mattresses. Otherwise my stay was good.

I really enjoyed this place. Didn't seem like much when walking into the lobby but soon found out that the rooms are large and have a neat retro vibe. The best part about this place was the food in the restaurant downstairs. You wouldn't expect it but we ate some fantastic meals here!

Not an easy building to find, but overall it wasn’t bad. The room was small and the decor could be updated, for such an old beautiful building it was a little distressing to see what they had done with the walls inside and outside of the rooms. The lady at check in was very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was nice, as we didn’t have to travel far to find dinner. However the bells that go off at random times throughout the night and day wasn’t plesent. Getting constantly woken up by them wasn’t enjoyable. Cheers.

Nice location and the rooms are pretty clean (little bit of mould here and there), but mostly the room needs to be brought up to date. The shower pressure is too strong — you have to deflect the water to be able to rinse your face! There's also light leakage around the main door and the hall lights stay on all night, and it's pretty noisey inside the rooms from activities elsewhere in the hotel.

Our room was very nice with a lovely comfortable king-sized bed. It was room 216 and I would certainly stay again. The stairs need updating but that's the only negative comment. It was in a very good position.

Can it get better? Awesome food, awesome price. $12 gets you a perfect sized lunch and incredible food & service. I recommend the cajun steak salad… wow.

Old hotel that has had a bit of a facelift throughout. Does still have that old hotel smell in rooms and corridors. Large rooms with recently updated bathroom. Our bed was made up of 2 single beds but was comfortable enough. Location was good close to the main strip of cafes and shops. Pub downstairs was good value for money with large hearty meals. Overall would stay again to stick to a tight budget.

My wife and I travel frequently. We have stayed in many hostels and hotels. We booked a room at The Grosvenor in Timaru New Zealand for nine days. Not only are all the staff members friendly and accommodating, but the room we are staying in is the most spacious and the most comfortable we have ever stayed in anywhere, in Australia or overseas. The room also has an ensuite. To top it all we slept in an absolutely comfortable bed. We will be sorry to leave this hotel. We very highly recommend The Grosvenor without any reservations.

This was a great place to stay. Staff encountered were all fabulous. Room was clean and acceptable. Can drink and dine downstairs. My only suggestion is that they might want to consider lowering their prices a little Felt that they were a tad over the top. My motto would be that it's better to have bums on seats than a half empty hotel. Stsrted drinking downstairs but found prices a little excessive so moved on to another establishment in Timaru.

Great food… great service… always on point when we visit! Thanks again team.

Great prices for great food will definitely be back.

Awesome place for lunch. The staff were amazing the menu was great and what a selection plus the prices were so cheap … just one thing the steak sandwich needs a bit of help … that's all thou … I'm gonna bring people next time I'm in town.

Good range of meals and desserts. We visited on Sunday lunchtime and it was fairly full.

Staff were friendly and helpful, sadly this was only redeeming feature of this establishment. The bed was horrible, seemed old and broken, the condition of the place looked like it has been rundown and little care taken with maintenance. Wouldn't recommend this place for any reason.

There's a lot of historic significance with this hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are nice And cozy, and the meals are absolutely yummy, thank you to everyone, from the Nathan contracting crew.

Great alround stay bar resteraunt even sunday lunches for that special day.

I moved here because the motel I was staying at was freezing… My room was spotless, beautiful, sea views huge ensuite and warm. The lunch and evening meals were very good but the friendliness of the staff made the stay a delight. I will definitely book here for my next trip.

A lovely guest room amenities very clean. Very friendly staff. Watch the fog rool in.

Stayed here for one night, but easily could have enjoyed a few nights at this hotel. We were upgraded to a huge room with a large bathroom. The room was very clean and had a fun vibe, decor-wise. The only negative was that the room was quite cold (even though it wasn't particularly cold outside) and there appeared to be no heater for the room, only a/c. Additionally, it seemed like the one-way mirror between the bedroom and bathroom may have been installed backwards, as we were able to clearly see into the bathroom from the sitting area, but not the other way around. Really, just an odd detail.

Old rooms but just getting renovated.

Modern interior with the arty Mondrian style. Very central and free parking.

Tidy comfortable rooms. Blue cod was tasty too. Good location.

Had lunch here and they forgot my meal and had to have it after. Definitely does not deserve 3 stars shit service.

The bathrooms are about 30 years old but clean. The rooms have been upgraded already and get free Wi-Fi. It is recommended for young couples who are looking for a cheap hotel. High-quality than any hostel, however, at the same price. Good location.
