I stayed at The Grand (also known as Club Quarters) for 3 days on business. The hotel seems newly remodeled and clean. The staff was very friendly.
Upon check-in, we were offered an "upgrade" for 45 pounds. All this added was a microwave, mini-fridge and tea kettle. In hindsight, it was not worth it.
Our first room had a view of the main street, but too much street noise for my taste. We switched to a room in the back of the hotel, and it was much better for sleeping. The beds were a little hard in both rooms.
Location to Trafalgar Square was good since the hotel has no restaurant or bar. We arrived about 10pm and had limited choices for meals. Most places close by 10pm, with a few open to 11pm.
The hotel does offer a continental breakfast for 18 pounds. We were confused at first because there are no signs that clearly state this. It looks like a complementary spread. Only coffee and tea are free.
My only real complaint was the elevators, or lifts as they call them, require you to insert your room key for any floor. Out of the 6 keys that we had, only 1 worked in the elevator. Other guests we spoke to complained about the same experience. Even to go down to the lobby, one needs to insert key.
