Great location with good parking. Quiet but not far from the main road and shopping streets. Some views depending on your room. Nice character hotel. Bathroom could have been a little better but goof for an older building.

Rooms are very very dated but the price is cheap so you get what you pay for … staff were very friendly
Ivan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A beautifully renovated old building, with the perfect mixture of timeless classic architecture and modern amenities. Loved the original elevator, was quite charming, and faster than some modern elevators we’ve used. The rooms were tastefully decorated with a modern bathroom. Being on the top floor was amazing, as we had views of the ocean and port, right from the bed. The quaint restaurant was warm and inviting with its exposed brick walls. Service was top notch.

great stay at timaru

we enjoyed our stay at Grosvenor. Army at the reception was welcoming and lovely. The room was spacious, comfortable and warm. The location was great to walk around town, garden and beach. Parking was easy too.

Loved the age of the property and that the owners are working to restore the outside to its former glory! The three staff members I encountered were exemplary! The hotel is so lucky to have them.
Sandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Heritage property. Newly refurbished rooms excellent. Bathroom and fittings well above expectations. Only disappointing thing was size of towels and lack of soap rack in shower.
Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were very accommodating, allowing me to change my booking date after a late change to a business meeting and allowed me to continue using the carpark for that business meeting after I had check out. The hotel appears to be part way through a renovation. The ensuite was very dated but it was nice and clean with a nice hot shower. I will stay there again.

i liked the old style lift. refit of hotel done well.
Rodger, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

One night stay, after a long day.

Quaint room, and we were totally beat after driving all day. Was sad we missed out on the restaurant, but we settled in and hot shower + right to sleep. Nice bed, and good little fridge to keep our road snacks for the next day. My only qualm about this place is we paid for an Executive room, and the photos online are -quite- stretched. It's a very - small room. And there is *No, soundproofing - so whoever had the cart of dishes at 6am. Thanks for that. I'd stay here again because the front desk staff were so nice! and it's a convenient location. Good amount of Parking too. Right in front of the Building. Not much open late at night, if you're hungry. But it's a nice place for a stopover or a weekend roadtrip in our book.

By far and away the best hotel in Timaru, that said I’m slightly biased as a big part of my childhood involved the Grosvenor… rooms are big and modern, don’t be fooled by the old school exterior, it just adds to the charm. Someone has had great fun with the artworks, the restaurant and staff are first class… better than the Hilton in Queenstown. Don’t look any further, highly recommended
