Grand Hotel Thursday Island

We had lunch I had the Mussels which were fabulous my husband had Barra w_ chips and salad Glass of wine and a beer Highly recommended to go Service was excellent Beautiful outlook over the straight Every one should try the Grand hotel

The original Grand burned down in 1996 and the new (current) place built in toe 2000s: a much more stylish and up-to-date place. My room (14) had excellent ocean views to the east and got full morning sun once the blackout curtains were drawn. The windows opened for fresh air, but there were also a ceiling fan and an A/C cooler. The room was nicely furnished - Queen-sized bed, wardrobe, desk, bar fridge, desk chairs, arm chair etc, and the bathroom had a super shower - plenty of hot and warm water (no really cold water in TI!). Meals in the bistro were huge and of good quality, and the complimentary breakfasts were once again, huge with scrambled eggs, mushrooms, sausages, tomatoes, baked beans etc, as well as fresh cut fruit, juices, coffees, toast. The room was about AU$260.00 per night, which is steep, but about average for all rooms on TI. The Grand is a short wealk from the jetty where the Horn Island ferry pulls in.

Don’t eat here, they lost our order after 45 mins then had trouble when we requested a refund , the chef was arrogant didn’t care, we weren’t the only ones, other people were complaining behind us…..
