“Cheap but you get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2011

I paid just over $70 US for a room for a night, by far the cheapest place on the Island to stay and in a very central location.

However, the bullet proof glass on reception resembles a prison and there are no communal arears. It is a place you go just to sleep not to enjoy the environment (pretty much like Nassau itself!). This is basic but cheap. They usually always have spare rooms, so you can just pitch up and see, if you dont like it leave.

“a room without a view”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2010

i came across this hotel on the internet and even a seasoned traveller like me thought it looked just fine for an overnight stay on my way to harbour island. my 15 yrs old daughter accompanied me. it is located on charlotte st. just off the main shopping area of bay street.
the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end on entering the building,i was,nt sure which was worse...the smell or the bulletproof panel at the reception desk which had a slit for credit cards. against my better judgement i went up in the vomit smelling lift and into the room. one of the windows was bricked up...the headboard was hanging off ,the sheets were stiff and grey, the bathroom was filthy ,need i go on? needless to say we checked out and ran. this hotel should be condemned and certainly not advertised for human consumption on the internet. grand or hotel it aint!

“$69.00 a Night! Can't beat that!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 26, 2009

It's small, not fancy, in a little disrepair.... But when the next cheapest place to stay is 200 bucks... IT IS FINE!

“New Restaurant at Grand Central”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2009

While the hotel has received many bad reviews recently, the owners are working on improvements. Chef Freddy Van Breugel has opened a gourmet restaurant in the Historic Guest house on Charlotte Street that is a part of the hotel property. Without advertising, word of mouth promotions fill the establishment daily with business people, politicians and tourists. Van Breugals is an excellent addition to the planned upgrading of the Bay Street tourist area. Don't miss it if you visit Nassau.
