Located directly opposite the ferry terminal, which couldn't be handier. Room was clean and well-provisioned: new TV, air conditioner, fridge. Free breakfast buffet (hot and cold, except Sunday when it is continental); free internet; free laundry (including powder). Management and staff were all super helpful. Just ask for anything you need. (We were offered a late checkout - as late... More

Breakfast was very good and the service friendly and laid back, but that's really not enough to call a hotel "Grand". We stayed in a "budget room" which is a fancy word for an upmarket prison cell: walls made of painted breeze block, neon lighting, a hard bed and 1 chair for 2 people. The bathroom has no horizontal surface... More

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Very nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Room was very nice and clean although air con was a little outdated and noisy. The only disappointment was the restaurant. The first night we ate there we waited over an hour an a half for our food and lots of items of the... More

Pleasantly surprised at the accommodation offered by the Grand Hotel. Perfectly positioned to receive beautiful views from an Ocean View room, yet also only steps away from the main street and shops. The room was clean and offered a large bathroom, fridge, new tv with cable and air conditioning. Plenty of storage space for those staying for a little longer.... More

A fantastic stay yet again. I travel remote Australia extensively for work and am yet to come across anything that comes close to the standard offered here. Friendly staff, great food, quiet and very clean. Handy location backing on to the main street and looking out over the water. Complimentary breakfast is excellent.

We stayed at the Grand Hotel over the weekend of the rubgy league matches. Have to say that we were a little concened that the place would be over-run with louts and drunk followers. Well how wrong we were. This was an oasis of peace and quiet. We enjoyed the waterfront rooms with the added attraction of the large balcony.... More

This is a no-frills hotel which has the essential qualities of being clean and well-serviced. The buffet breakfast is basic but sufficient. Thursday island is not really a tourist destination so their clientele who are there on work-related visits are the focus of their service. It seems to do that job adequately. Ask for a waterfront room to detract from... More

I got a budget room because i was staying for an entire month. Was a bit annoying that there were no cooking facilities, but it was made up for by the amazing buffet hot breakfast daily (except sundays, it was continental). Room was quiet enough, room had no view, but had airconditioning, bar fridge, kettle, ensuite, and TV. It was... More

Quite good value for money.. Includes a great buffet breakfast within the price. I also understand that the hotel is soon to be reburbished, but until then the rooms are adequate and reasonably comfortable with sky tv etc...
