Grand Hotel Kiama

The hotel is within walking distance of the blowhole, the main street of Kiama, the markets, the surf beach, and the train station. It is an old pub with old facilities that needed work, all of which was expected for the price. But a few easy fixes could have changed this room's rating for the price from poor to good value. The floor was visually dirty. When opening and closing the blind you got black dirt on your skin/ clothes. The shared bathroom facilities never had toilet paper and lacked a bin for paper towels. The windows needed to be opened prior to guests to remove the stale air smell. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful, but obviously expecting complaints from their behavior.

lovely stay cheap room

Enjoyed the Steak & glass of wine, lager or soft drink $20 Thursday night special. Great! Crunchy chips and Steak cooked just as I requested - all very tasty thanks. The special offers a choice of steak or schnitzel. Lovely service at the bar too, thank you.

If I was a food crittic, I'd shut the place down! It sounds nice on the menu seeing the fancy wording and expensive prices, but it was harshly disgusting.. The Only nice thing I can say, is that the bar service was respectful. 🤮🤢 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We stayed at Kiama for 2 nights the rooms are worse then a prison with no power point in the room This business really does suck food takes forever to come very rude staff beer taste closer to piss then beer what your better off doing is going to the local beach and catching a fish and cooking it because by the time you've done that your food here still wont be done and while your at the beach get a cup and drink the salt water because I can promise it is 10x better then the beer here i rarely write review but this place shouldn't be in business is absolutely disgusting DO NOT GO!!!

Tbh I don't know what everyone is whinging about. This place is sick. The food is amazing. 20 dollar chicken burger and a beer was amazing. Best chicken burger I've had. The staff are more then amazing. Nina and manager Nathan are very very good people and wonderful staff. And for 25 dollars a night per person is amazing. It's a walk from everything. Cafes, shops, the blowhole. Everything. It's a wonderful experience and a great place to stay. Honestly can't give it enough praise. Such a good time. Give it a go and remember it's 25 bucks a night, don't be a sook and have a great time.

Go here if you want to experience: -A room that rivals the living condition of a trench -Food comparable to rat vomit -Walking on stairs that may break any second -Bathrooms that make jail toilets look good Not even homeless people stay here

We spent an afternoon in the bar to get out of the rain and what a great afternoon it was. The friendly locals were hilarious, nice beers successful afternoon punting and a great all round atmosphere. I would definitely return for another session when back in town.

Pub was nice and food was ok as well. This review is for the accomodation above the pub. Hotel is a lie. Backpackers would be far too generous. Its not fit for human habitation. Mould, rot, filth, unsafe wiring. Avoid as if your life depended on it. It probably does.
