8/10 Very good

Great location with good parking. Quiet but not far from the main road and shopping streets. Some views depending on your room. Nice character hotel. Bathroom could have been a little better but goof for an older building.

Scott, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A beautifully renovated old building, with the perfect mixture of timeless classic architecture and modern amenities. Loved the original elevator, was quite charming, and faster than some modern elevators we’ve used. The rooms were tastefully decorated with a modern bathroom. Being on the top floor was amazing, as we had views of the ocean and port, right from the bed. The quaint restaurant was warm and inviting with its exposed brick walls. Service was top notch.

My stay was pleasant.
Alexander, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

One night stay, after a long day.

Quaint room, and we were totally beat after driving all day. Was sad we missed out on the restaurant, but we settled in and hot shower + right to sleep. Nice bed, and good little fridge to keep our road snacks for the next day. My only qualm about this place is we paid for an Executive room, and the photos online are -quite- stretched. It's a very - small room. And there is *No, soundproofing - so whoever had the cart of dishes at 6am. Thanks for that. I'd stay here again because the front desk staff were so nice! and it's a convenient location. Good amount of Parking too. Right in front of the Building. Not much open late at night, if you're hungry. But it's a nice place for a stopover or a weekend roadtrip in our book.

Central hotel

This hotel is very centrally located, which is handy if you come by coach. It is an older hotel that has been modernised.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a grand old hotel with lovely ceilings in the foyer in particular. The receptionists are very pleasant and welcoming. I was in a very nicely refurbished room on the second floor. Very comfortable and clean, and a really good shower with very good water pressure. I slept well, and enjoyed being close to cafes and the railway station. All in all a really nice place to stay. It will be my first choice next time I travel to Timaru.
Rachel, 2-night trip

The Grosvenor has a restaurant / pub onsite that serves Awesome dinners. I had the Roast Beef for dinner and battered banana with ice cream for dessert and they were both delicious! Also close to town which is handy.

Ange, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall really good.

On arrival the reception area did not appeal too much. However the receptionist was very welcoming and friendly. Our room was on the second floor and we were so pleased with it. The whole floor has been recently refurbished and our room at the front was lovely.
Heather, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were all friendly, helpful and happy to chat about the history of the old building. The pricing was very reasonable at $255 for two nights. The room was very spacious. I would certainly stay there again.
