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.

Excellent Southern hospitality and kindness
We stayed 2 nights at the Grosvenor for the first and last night of our 14-day cycling holiday. Staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. Moreover they went out of their way to help us. First by allowing us to store our bike boxes, second by providing us with a bucket to clean our muddy bikes when we returned and third and most importantly helping us to catch our plane on time. We had booked a van through Timaru Taxis. However when we rang the company past our scheduled pickup time they advised us that they do not operate vans on the weekend. With less than an hour to spare prior to bag drop off Carol, one of the staff members, asked her husband to transport us and our boxes to the airport. Without their kindness we would have been stranded in Timaru for another day. Super grateful for everything

Can’t believe someone recommended this to me
Arrived just before midnight, late checkin system was as good. Room hadn’t been serviced. Eventually got an onsite guy who spent 15min looking for a clean room. Finally found a single bed rooom. Hotel is very “tired”

Nice spacious room, comfortable but feeling a bit dated, very close to the custom steakhouse to stroll down for the best steak in town so I’ll definitely be back.

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

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.

4/10 Fair

My friend and I booked 2 twin rooms. Pros: the room and bathroom were clean, the shower pressure was like a waterfall (so great), the staff was super friendly and helpful. There was a kettle and tea/coffee provisions (but no stir sticks or spoons to stir). My room smelled like cigarette smoke, and front desk staff moved me immediately with no hassle. Cons: the rooms were not at all as advertised. While I felt safe and the room was clean, it didn't provide a comfortable atmosphere. They felt like a half-way house for people leaving prison 😂 They were pretty dark with only one small window. The carpet was shag, a bit threadbare, and didn't seem clean (but I'm pretty sure they were, it's just the type of carpet). The decor was...weird. One single bed pushed against the wall of felted wallpaper. There wasn't enough room for a bedside table so the phone was on the floor. While technically there was a tv, there were only 4 stations (why even bother, then?). The walls were really thin - I could hear my neighbour, quite clearly, sneeze in the night and their alarm go off. The shower had a cheap plastic shower curtain that kept blowing onto me no matter how I positioned my body or the showerhead, so I just showered with the curtain open and the showerhead pointed towards the inner wall. I would not stay here again. I wish I could share photos so you could see the actual rooms we were given.

The property is old but was obviously upgraded a few years back. Friendly service, great location. The seal around the bath needs some urgent attention. While I could hear street noise, the room was warm and I had a good night sleep.
