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.

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.

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.

Grosvenor Hotel Timaru Review
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.

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.

Room was updated nice bright paint and decor. However, no trash receptacle in the bathroom. Bathroom sink was cool, but drained slow and would have been nicer to have a bigger counter than a large sink. Was a dirty towel hanging on hook when we checked in.
