A stunning location immediately overlooking the beach - so even though there was no fitness centre there was the option of a run along the beach before breakfast. The entrance hall in the hotel has a really dramatic staircase and as the lift was not working and my room was on the top floor I got to see all of... more

We've stayed here twice, both times for a couple of nights. Its the sort of hotel that despite being perfectly situated overlooking a great beach, has you thinking that it might be kind of dowdy and uninteresting inside. A step inside the front door will change all that. It's a well modernised place run by helpful and enthusiastic staff. We... more

We walked Hadrian's wall, with everything organised for us by the wonderful Gary Reed of Hadrian's Wall Ltd, and he booked this for us. When we arrived in Tynemouth and asked locals for directions, they all said 'oh, you're in for a treat' and we were. We stayed in the quirky annexe next door and took our meals in the... more

WE stayed at the Grand 28th March to attend a wedding on the 29th. We stayed in an executive double room overlooking the sea. The room was clean and a good size. The bathroom was also spotless, although a little dated. The Website does not do this hotel justice. On the whole the staff were excellent, polite and pleasant except... more

We stayed at The Grand because we were attending a wedding reception at the hotel. The main public areas (Reception, Drawing Room, Restaurant, Orchid Suite) were all lovely and as expected from the hotel website. However, the bedrooms and the service did not match up to these first impressions. We stayed on the third floor and although our room was... more

We've stayed at the Grand before and always been pleased with it. This time was no exception - and we had a sea view room which was great - good to watch the surfers from the comfort of a nice warm room!! Had lovely walks along the long sands though - wow!! Room was great - everything you could wish... more

We had our wedding on 1st Nov 2008, we had a civil ceremony in the Oak Room, which was beautiful with a stunning fireplace and a great atmosphere. The wedding breakfast was in the Orchid Suite which overlooked the beach, so you could not ask for a better setting. The evening reception was held in the Grand Chambers which was... more

Came up to Newcastle for the Great North Run and needed a hotel at last minute. More affordable places were already fully booked, but the Grand had a room free at £149, £50 above the advertised price "because it's the Great North Run that weekend"!! ER...? We had low expectations because we hadn't done much research and had just grabbed... more

Before going to The Grand Hotel in Tynemouth this past August, I had read the Trip Advisor reviews. I was saddened by some of them, which didn't help, since we were going there to celebrate my sister's birthday. There were 20 of us booked at the hotel for a week, from Canada and Texas, and not one of us could... more
