“Over-priced ¿4? star hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

I stayed in this hotel during a conference in Helsingborg. I chose it because it was included in a "special offer" from the conference and the reviews in TripAdvisor were OK.

The location of the hotel is the best value, as it is placed within a walking distance of all the attractions and main shopping areas, as well as the station. The reception is large and the people there are quite friendly.

However, when I got into the room, I was completely disappointed. The size of the whole room was 2.5*3 meters, including a table, two chairs and a mini bed (90 cm). I could not place my luggage on the floor because there was no physical space to do that. Moreover, the wardrobe was 25 cm wide with one shelf on the top. Therefore, I had to put my suitcase in the small place between the bed and the wall.

The bathroom was not so bad as it has been renewed. However, there were no amenities such as a comb or a shower cup. You had to go to reception to ask for one. I was also lucky because I had a window which helped in not finding trapped in the room.

The heating of the room was so low that I asked for another blanket. The light was also very low so you have to switch on all the lamps that were there. The only positive surprise was the WiFi network, which worked very well during the whole stay.

I travel quite a lot and I think the room can be compared to a 2-star pension or even a hostel. Moreover, I was charged by the "special price" more than the normal price on weekends. Therefore, I just complained at the reception and they upgraded me to a really 4-star hotel bedroom with the standarized sizes for everything. In this case, I have to thank the people at reception, who were very keen.

Food was the only remarkable issue of the hotel. I had dinner at the Lounge and the quality and quantity of the dishes was good. Breakfast was very complete and there were even fresh oranges to make your own juice. Although there were normally quite a lot of people, the staff was very diligent and there was always everything ready.

As a conclusion, I would say that if you reserve a single room, be careful and do not pay more than 50 to 55 euro for that, as you will get this hostel room. I think the hotel should take care about this and how it handles "special prices" to groups. For the same price, I will not choose this hotel again.

“Big disappoitment”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

I have stayed in this hotel in january wile in Helsingborg for a conference. I really do not understand how the hotel could have win a traveller's choice Award. The staff is polite but the room, 233, was a big disappoitment. Very small with a single bed and a bathroom so tiny You could not imagine. There was no space to even open the luggage. Poor amenities in the bathroom and a breakfast fine but with no interaction at all with the staff. Sorry but i do not agree with the other reviewers and, being an hotel manager myself, i hope that,s the only room so tiny they may have. Finally the pictures on the website do not refilerà exactly the hotel situation.

“Nice and right in the middle of Helsingborg”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Feeling like going abroad, but short on funds, we decided to take a trip to Helsingborg, which although being only an hour away by train and ferry from Copenhagen, is Sweden and thus a different country. So we dove into the joys of (almost) confusing coins, (almost) strange foods and the thrills of ordering from a menu in a (almost) foreign language. All the while being able (almost) to see home just across the water…
The Grand Hotel is a charming old building in the middle of Helsingborg, so you are conveniently located for walking to most places of interest: The old fortress Kärnan, the shopping district, the harbor, the ferry etc. The hotel is nice, with good beds, clean bathroom and a huge breakfast buffet. Standing in line is not a Scandinavian strength; it more like the ‘First Viking in raids the table’…
On weekends there are quite a few partygoers checked into the hotel and a large bar on the ground floor – which during the day is a café. So if you prefer quietness, once you retire, ask for a room at the top. That was where we stayed, and the rooms are cosy with pitched ceilings and a sideways view of the water.

“Fantastic, gorgeous hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

The location of this hotel is just great. It is close to everything! The rooms are roomy and the hotel is really beautifully decorated as well. Beds were supercomfortable but the breakfast was a bit of a dissapointment, to be honest, not up to par with most Swedish hotels.

The elevator in this hotel is really cool, be sure to take it if you can!

“Business Functionality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

A short business trip was made easier and more enjoyable by the location and quality at this hotel. It is right across from the railway/bus station in the centre of town - ideal if you fly into Copenhagen and take the train to Helsingborg or if you want to take a walk around this nice town in the evening. (Don't worry being close to the station is only good news unlike in some cities.)
The restaurant is functional with excellent steaks and a quality breakfast buffet which starts early enough to allow you make early morning meetings, trains or planes. Free wifi throughout and its fast and easy. There are a range of leisure activities offered which unfortunately I had not time to try. The decor is interesting and very Scandinavian giving a genuine atmosphere to the hotel.
Drawbacks - my room was a little small and a holiday or weekend traveler might want to enquire as to the size of the room before booking. Service pleasant and efficient.

Room Tip: Ask about the size of the rooms available.
