A wonderfully modern but intimate hotel on pleasant street facing historic church and only one block from railway/bus station or town square (Stortorget) near easy to stroll pedestrian streets. Manager Kenneth Hoffstrom and his very capable staff made our stay very comfortable and quite memborable. If there are any questions that can't be answered at the hotel, the Kristianstad Tourist bureau is but two blocks south. The breakfast buffet is very substantial and the perfect start to a day of touring or business. I will gladly stay there again.

My family stayed at the Quality Grand Hotel in late April and liked the hotel very much. We had very good rooms with comfortable beds and well appointed bathrooms. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. They even helped us to learn a few phrases in Swedish ! As we arrived by train from the Copenhagen airport, 2 hours away, we were glad that it was a short walk from the train station to the hotel. The beautiful church across from the hotel made for a perfect setting. It is an easy walk to the pedestrian shopping streets and museum. We plan to return later this summer when we can go swimming and boating as well as rent bicycles.

We loved the Grand Hotel in Kristianstad where we felt so welcome as Swedish Americans returning to our homeland, Skane. Every single person at the hotel was outgoing and extremely helpful from the general manager, Kenneth Hoffstrom, to the wait staff and night clerks.

Kristianstad is a beautiful small city with an exquisite, elegant church occupying the block between the hotel and the train station. For travelers arriving and departing by train, the location is ideal and yet the train station is quiet because Kristianstad is the end of the line.

Our room was lovely with exceptionally comfortable Swedish beds with "mattress toppers", immaculate bathroom, and wireless internet at no charge. The hotel has adopted an extremely responsible attitude toward the environment as seen in its policy to allow guests staying more than one night to choose whether the towels should be replaced with new towels or not in an effort to conserve water.

The breakfast buffet was extensive with delicious foods such as a selection of herrings, cheeses and meats, eggs, bacon and potatoes, muesli and half a dozen kinds of yogurt, fruit compote, breads and muffins. A variety of Swedish cookies was presented each morning next to the coffee, tea and hot chocolate.

In the lobby a desktop computer was available around the clock for guests to use to access the internet. The lobby itself provided an excellent meeting place for guests waiting for friends or relatives.

We loved Kristianstad so much that we are already planning another trip there to explore the city and to stay at the Grand Hotel. From the outside the hotel seems unassuming but inside it's a real gem, a warm and cozy home away from home.

The Grand Hotel is a very comfortable hotel that is located right in the city center of Kristianstad, just steps away from different shops, restaurants, and many other places of interest. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Kristianstad. I am an American and I stayed at the Grand Hotel while traveling in Sweden in April of 2008.

The hotel offers secure free wireless internet for its guests, which is awesome. The connection in my room on the third floor was very fast, and the room I stayed in was quiet. My room looked out onto the main piazza outside and even so the room was very quiet and conducive to a great night's sleep. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the continental style breakfast each morning was delicious. The breakfast consisted of assorted yogurts, muesli, fresh fruit, many kinds of herring, and an assortment of other breakfast goodies, including some delicious hot chocolate! The food was fabulous.

The staff at the hotel are amazingly friendly and they all speak perfect English in addition to Swedish, of course. All of the staff were most accommodating and it was a pleasure to see them each day while I was here. You can even purchase postcards in the lobby and stamps as well. The location is great, and most importantly, the hotel is comfortable, which is so important when you are traveling so far from home. You will love this place!
