What a tragic state of affairs that place is.
Aww goodness Paul, looks like your in the service area😮. It's such a shame that Brittannia have got their hands on all those iconic hotels and not really preserving the heritage of these once beautiful buildings. Great vlog and filming as always.
If Britannia didn't buy these huge old fashioned hotels I'm not sure anyone would.
Shame? It's appalling!
I would feel unsafe in that hotel...I'd be worried about the electric wiring.
@Robhalifax it's not the fact that britania takes on these hotels it's the lack of refurbishment that's sad they just run them down even more which is sad.
I live in Llandudno and it is such a shame that Brittannia have let the Grand Hotel go in terms of rooms.
Sure they would make more money if they took care of her. Wonderful position and imposing Building. Wish someone else would buy her.
4o'clock check in is disgusting, I wouldn't have left till 11o'clock!
Hi Paul, I wouldn't even stay in that room and not worth that price either. Grand hotel from the outside but not so grand inside. I don't blame you for not going back there especially the check in times absolutely shocking
I think the cells in Block H had more light to be honest. What a shame they don't care. Very much on the pricey side for what you get in terms of the room and breakfast, I certainly wouldn't book there. Another interesting video, thank you.
Hi, thought that was very expensive. That room was so very dark. I would've complained. The food looked horrible to me. And no way would I stay there!
Thanks for this video paul bad that checking in at 4 customer service is not good always great to watch
That was a good, honest review, 4pm check in is ridiculous for a 10am departure, I think you had a lot of patience putting up with that room because I honestly couldn’t have stayed there. It used to be a fabulous hotel but like so many places it’s changed & not for the better. Many thanks Paul xx
Paul can I just say it as been done up with new carpets and chairs and decorated since I was last there I have had some good weekends at the grand it is very old building the prices are not too bad but I would only go into a premier ROOMS AND FOOD
Used to give me roses I wish he could again, but that was on the outside and things were different then ……. 🎶 … on the plus side I love the cabaret singers performing. Those two girls were really really good.
All Brittania hotels are the same as an experienced traveller you know what to expect. We have stayed at most. You should play it like this book for room only y then go and help yourself to breakfast and evening meal the staff dont care even the beggars have walked in at some hotels.We live in Blackpool now by Pleasure beach.and the Llandudno hotel is like a palace to some around here
I stayed here on the 23rd of February, in a double facing the covered court yard , didnt sleep well at all felt to enclosed in and the bed was too hard but our room was very clean. I too think 4pm check in is too late, we arrived by delayed trains got there 3.30pm werent allowed to check in till bang on 4pm silly really especially if the rooms are ready, the next night we had reserved a room at the imperial hotel and that didnt let us down fantastic stay brilliant hotel bit more money but worth it compared to the George , thanks for the video
Great video 📸 loving the hotel ❤
Keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoyed it
I stayed there over twenty years ago, it was horrendous. We went out for a walk and found pigeons walking all over the bed when we came back, nobody said not to open a window.
I think the problem at times is some of us are reluctant to complain due to lower price..But if a hotel or room is poor it doesn't matter if its cheap or not..If your not happy i think we should complain if valid .And Paul i think you had a case to 👍
I know Brian but I wanted the full experience
Most hotels in Llandudno are a 10 hr check out.Last time I stayed there I found one, and I think that it was the only one!, with an 11 hr check out.I needed the extra hour as I'd been camping in Snowdonia and the hotel was a freshen up day in-between two camp outs.
All the times I've spent in Llandudno and I never knew that there's a cave inside the Grand Hotel! I think I'd have been the most gutted as soon as I found out that the coffee came from a sachet and not some beans but the amount of lost opportunities is very sad to see. Hopefully they will be worth a trip back once the building work is finished and the bar opens fully but it sounds like a long way to go before you can be proud to say you're staying at the Grand!
That's one of the worst rooms I've seen. What a miserable hotel. I love Llandudno but I certainly wouldn't be staying there. I used to like the Queen's Hotel but it closed down for a while and reopened under new management so I don't know what it's like now. I am enjoying all your videos, liked the Blackpool ones, have stayed at the Lyndene several times
Paul I stayed in the grand back in 2019 the room was just basic but it was clean and the staff were very helpful sadly I don’t go any more as my brother passed two year ago but we always had PREMIER ROOM AND FOOD it is very dated but the owners won’t modernise it so since lock down it as gone down but I enjoyed my stays at the grand👍👍👍
Never stayed there .we're in llandudno now at the summerset hotel a daishs it OK for the price.
I should not go back to that hotel again Paul and a 4 pm check in was ridiculous I didn’t think much of the room it was horrible and the food wasn’t very good at all 😮
Looks like old people home than a hotel
most places now are 4.00 check in which is disgusting as you loose a day then 10.00am check out loose another day, that room is disgusting clean enough but shabby, I love Llandudno I would not stay there, what a shame such a majestic building
I went to a Britannia Hotel with Caledonian Holidays (when they were National) with two friends, we had to pay a single supplement for the single room, it was smaller than yours and Barbie would have found the shower room tight.
Some of these Britannia Hotel's need be bought by an investor with a lot of cash, to restore these Hotel's back to their former glory. It's a shame how some of them are just left to go scruffy and un-cared for. It's a shame really as some of the staff who work in them, are genuinely nice friendly and helpful, it just lets them down.
I stayed at Tiffany’s Hotel a while back in Blackpool and that is also a 4pm check in, 10.30 checkout. Not good when you’re only there for one night. If you want earlier check in plus access to the car park you have to pay extra, because of this I wouldn’t stay there again. 😒
Last time I was in Blackpool September last year, Tiffany's was closed down
🤗 Hiya Paul, 4, oclock is late for a hotel, ive been a Headhouse keeper for years, thats late, the only time ive ever had a 4, oclock check in, was when i was a head house keeper for a 8 bedroomed house, but it was always booked & it was always full. Slept over 14, but we said 4, o'clock, so we made sure it was spotless for the next party of people coming in , it tuck 3 cleaners to clean it depending on the state it was left in. But never a hotel. Prisoner sell block H made me laugh. 😂😂 Plus i noticed that you couldn't use the lifts, thats not good enough. 😳😬 How much. No id not pay that, id have you ask to see the rooms, i want to see what im paying for.
Stayed there before never again 😮
That is mad
Oh dear, the entertainment.
A 4 o’Clock check in is ridiculous as is a 10 o’clock check out. This is them being awkward. I always think it’s a pity about the state of this hotel. It has a great position and is a lovely looking building. Like many Britannia hotels however it is totally underfunded and in need of repair. In its present state I would be uncomfortable about letting my dog stay there.
4pm check in that's ridiculous and check out by 10, do they want you to warn the bed
The Elsinore is really bad there, frozen rooms in winter, no double glazing, seagulls feet coming through holes in attex loft rooms no joke , try the Iris that was a really good budget hotel for the money
I’d give this hotel a miss Paul ,, ridiculous check in time .. as usual a good video
If you thought that was bad, you should have tried the Whitehouse on the front that is 100 times worse. Must be bad it's closed down now. But have to agree with you I probably would not stay at the grand either.
Ahh such a shame - just those sea views alone are beautiful, definitely needs freshening up and new furniture . Sadly, standards seem to be slipping even more - I think it looked pretty clean and comfortable but I wouldn't have been happy with the attitude of that staff member, no need for it. The room - hmm I wouldn't have liked it at all, too dark and dull, but could probably tolerate it for 1 night. Turning away passing trade is simply ridiculous. I think, all in all, another very realistic and fair review x
Brittany’s hotels NO thank you, try scarisbrick at Southport if you fancy a real slum, we still have nightmares 🥺
Stayed with the wife 3 times landudno all nice hotels one airbb good saw the place manytimes grand hotel in its day not anymore.
It was a nice town and actually walked past the hotel your staying in and it has some history to it i believe
They sound like pinky perkie. Xx
Nothing GRAND About this hotel 😮
MOST CARAVAN SITES ARE THE SAME WITH 4 O' CLOCK CHECK IN. THE HOTEL APPEARS TO HAVE HAD MONEY SPENT ON IT, BUT IT STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO, A BIT PRICEY THOUGH, WE WOULD NOT BE STAYING HERE LIKE YOURSELF.
4pm check in. I have checked in at 9pm while abroad, you got in early, lol.
We stayed a few years ago it was awful wallpaper stuck down with sellotape room was dirty and the food was crap
It's a good thing you booked... it's packed....NOT..😂 you should've booked room 508... it's haunted, so at least you'd have had some company..! 😂🏴👍
You could say that prices for the rooms where daylight robbery
Check in at 12pm check out at 10am is fair I think.
Ive stayed there twice last year . I complained about smell of cigarettes all night in my room. Room 118.
As i am asthmatic. Got told irs a non smoking hotel but some smoke in their room. As if it was nothing at the reception desk.
Won't be staying here again. Out dated and should be demolished.
thanks
im from north wales and this hotel is well known for being crap
'I want to complain to the manager.'
'Okay sir, I'll call the manager. "MISS FERGUSON REQUIRED AT RECEPTION."
Who ruins these hotels ,people ,ive stayed before and would go back
I think these hotels should up their prices, so People who can not afford it go elsewhere, and those who can afford it get a better quality service, As in if you want cheap you will not be dissapointed with the meal, and If you have booked more expensive then you should recieve what you paid for good room and food
I like the brand
Felt for them. In a crowded room with an atmosphere it would have been great. Brave girls.
Oh! - I see what you're doing, Ive been wondering where you are as I follow the other channel. Maybe cemetery channels are now becoming to saturated?!
exactly everyone's chasing each other and if your last to get there then its a waste of time
Awful box room/ cell. Very bad management putting you in there!
pay them 75% of room rate for those horrible check in/out times. 18 out of 24
Room was terrible! 4pm check in ridiculous. At least singers were good 🎤
The Welsh Overlook Hotel
Hi paul looked like a prison cell.not good at all the bathroom looked ok
I would of gone down and said something I couldn't of stayed in that horrible room.
Owned by Brittania Hotels, Same company as Pontius, Brean, explains a lot, Wouldnt stay here if you paid me.....
Omg that's awful id be scared.
£44 POUND TOO MUCH
Very poor accommodation there Paul. It would be a big ‘NO THANKYOU’ for me. Room too small, too dark, and too basic.
Checking in time, inconvenient for any guests fool enough to want to stay there. 700+ bad reviews not for nothing. This place
is not user friendly.
It should be renamed the not so grand hotel i would not stay there it true 4 PM is a late booking time as like you said that's the day over and with and finding a hair on the pillow and sheet tells me that those sheets were not clean and being in the dark when it was day light just a very poor run hotel and stupid silly price to stay there.
What a dump
These Britannia hotels are pig stys ! You have to be off yer rocker to even go there .Would not stay there on a freebie .
Hi paul..£44 single room how can you moan at that .plus a breakfast...you said the hotel was empty who goes on hoilday in February
Look fine with me
Ok the room wasn't big and one electric socket wasn't working .....with me im never to fussy about the room as long its got a comfy bed good decent shower and nice breakfast which you had .......
When your on hoilday people dont tend to stay
in there rooms all day......i did like your video thou i do think you picked fault with the littlest off things
Keep the videos up mate..
You are obviously in the minority if you look at the rest of the feedbacks, you may like sitting in a cave with no light and even have the privilege of paying for it, but I can assure you 1000's of people don't, but your entitled to your thoughts
Speak welsh and you will get any room
Close it down . An insult to the poor public !!
I love Llandudno, this was once a Grand Hotel,sadly no longer😢 it commands the best position but money is needed for a major refurb,imho.I would never stay there in its present state.😢 Ty for sharing the vlog 🎉
Love Llandudno and no I would have walked out when given that room there are many amazing B&B places in Llandudno for same price and you get daylight windows with NO bird crap on better furniture and plug points that work and a great breakfast many have single rooms also you were in a cell and I would have walked away well done you for staying.. And 4pm is to late for a 10am leaving ..
Totally agree!
Prisoner cell block H 🤣 the room was extremely grim more like a storage cupboard. Very poor customer service I agree they should have the customer needs as a priority and provided a better room. Check in times ludicrous doesn't make sense at all for a holiday town. Not a great representation of Motown but that's just me. Wouldn't stay pricey and poor standard.Thank you 😊
I used to play in a 1970's tribute band and when we got there in the foyer was a photo of a heavy metal band and seeing as most of the audience were of a mature age group, they were put off by the advert in the foyer so the ballroom was half empty though the people there enjoyed the show and quite a few turned up at the end of the night said they wished they had come in earlier. The staff seemed not to care and were only there because that was their job but didn't want to be there.
UK hospitality needs to learn about customer service etc from abroad..i usually fly with Jet2 to Benidorm .its always an early flight from Edinburgh and arrive in Resort sround 12 noon...Room has always been available in every hotel that I've stayed in👍
Same with me usually book in by 12 in Spain
Brittania Hotel group voted worst in uk for about 20 years 🤬🤬🤬🤬
We stayed in the bay county loved it
Paul it as had a lot done to it since 2019 it as been done up bright we always had a balcony room the staff were excellent e.g MICHELLA front of house a brilliant helpful lady and very respectful
Ridiculous 10 o'clock check out means you have to get up at 9 for a shower thank you for these reviews helps people to avoid the crap hotels now i am a subscriber
Didn’t like hotel at all ,your room was horrendous dark and gloomy check in at 4 was far to late didn’t even have 12 hours in there would never like to stop there .enjoyed your review though 🤩
see what you mean about cell block h surprised bea smith isn't there offering you some grog.
Excellent video Paul.
A budget hotel is what its about etc...........an old building in the "best" place with the happy valley next door etc............if people want perfection then a budget hotel isn,t the hotel for them etc..........seen worse places for aaa more exp. price etc.......
Looks geared for a nursing home.
Wouldn't stay there and I can't stand that sort of entertainment.
The breakfast , like you said cheap quality food.
Agree with you about the room and they could have put you in another room with daylight.
Comes down to customer service not giving a dam and not thinking long term of returning customer's.
Typical of Britannia , cheap and nasty and what ever hotel they takeover it's downhill.
No way 4pm check and 9am break fast. The singers was terrible. Ps sat next door to you further up the road
So sad it should be heart of llandudno
I would stay but I probably won't sleep I'd be ghost haunting 😅
Just watched your stint in the hotel in llandudno absolutely horrid ,I'm in a wheelchair, wated to stay but I dont think so , if you know of anymore hotels there
4 o'clock check in is disgrace thought the corridor wasn't very clean so I didn't expect much in the room sorry Paul I wouldn't stay there 44 pound couldn't check in till 4 lucky if I give them 20 pound for that room thanks Paul for sharing ❤❤
No it's a nightmare and the food makes it even worse
As soon as i see the word Brittannia in a hotels name in a listing i zoom right past as i know its going to be crap
What on earth are resrictors on the balcony doors. This is basic spelling and should have been checked before they had 200 printed.
The Breakfast looked lovely❤
I stayed at the new Lauretta.
I enjoyed Llandudno.
And the tram up to the great orm
Stopping for 4 nights Including bed & breakfast and evening meal. With entertainment .
Through Caledonian coach holidays. Picking myself up from Middlesbrough bus station for the low price of £239 per person And this was in August 25°.😂🏴
That must bethe most depressing room to stay in crikey,l think l would be straight down to receptionfor a refund or atleast ac hange of room,but l realise you had to stay to review it.
I not in the room that much but I wanted to experience the full hospitality lol
Should be 3pm check in 11am check out 😊
I adore llandudno we go quite often yea 4pm is very late where I work it’s 3pm check in and 11pm check out 😂😂😂 glad yer said it was the floorboards 😂oh no defo would not stop there the room looks very depressin gross the quilt it’s defo a no from me 😊 love your vids till the next one 😊
Again, I'll just say I'd never book any Britannia hotel...ever! I actually think you got lucky, you could have been put in one of the rooms that has no windows at all...ie in the basement.
What you paid for the room is robbery and the prices you mentioned for the others is robbery too, shocking.
As for the bar not being open...terrible way to do business, I think I'd avoid the food altogether, especially in a Britannia hotel, if the rooms are not exactly the cleanest, I'd advise you to get UV light, then who knows how clean the kitchen is!
122 I stayed in it did not like it joyce from glasgow😢
I think they bite off more than they can manage. BRITTANIA. The public areas are better. Look great infact . Your room is very odd. Bless the girls singing doesnt always pick the sound up properly when recording. 😮❤
The breakfast looked terrible. Catering type of sausages and bacon. Cheap tin of beans and tomatoes. No attempt to sell the hotel to you
