Used this property as a touring base for the Halland area of Sweden. Large room with river view, small terrace and comfortable seating area of leather sofa and armchair. Large well equipped bathroom with a spa bath. Flat screen TV mostly Swedish local channels but a couple of international news ones too.

Breakfast selection good, well presented and wide choice. All service friendly and helpful.

Quality of dinner menu excellent and with an attentive Maitre D' but their restaurant lacks any ambiance as a dinner venue. Unfortunately, the restaurant is no more than a nightclub dance floor with tables and chairs on it in the week. Next door is the excellent Restaurang Gustaf Bratt which really does have some ambiance and style.

Previous correspondents have highlighted how pleasant Falkenberg is as a destination in its own right - I second that. A lovely little town with good shopping, a preserved old town and pleasant river walks and views.

Hotel parking is free but limited - you may have to use on-street parking outside at a small fee.

My only problem was the supposed free wi-fi. Yes there is a hotel wi-fi hub. Weak signal, weird network settings, painfully slow - absolutely unusable. I bought a one-week Telia HomeRun deal for 100SEK which gave me very fast service, strong signal and no problems.

In the week the clientele consists of the usual Scandiavian business travellers and coach tours. Be under no illusions - the property is a major weekend nightclub spot and absolute party central. In the week it is beautifully quiet.

We had a really pleasant chilled time and I would recommend it

The hotel was nice, the rooms were clean, the beds were really comfortable & the staff were really friendly & helpful. The breakfast was ok too. The town itself is lovely, quite a lot of old buildings & cobbled streets, a lovely coffee shop called the Lounge. We had a lovely stay on friday night, but on Saturday the music from the night club was loud enough to wake me & my young son- and really difficult to get back to sleep until the revelers made their way hhome or back to there rooms between 3 & 4am.. I had asked for a room away from the noise as I had read a previous review & we were given a lovely room on the 2nd floor overlooking the river. Unfortunately it wasn't far enough away from the music. I think the nite club sounded good - but don't stay there on a saturday unless you are very hard of hearing or planning on partying the night away.

We just had to stay for one night at this hotel, but we were pleasently surprised how great the stay was. We had to do some christmas shopping in the huge shopping center Gekäs, and instead of driving back to Copenhagen the same day, we decided to stay for one night at a cheap hotel.

We looked at the different hotels at the Falkenberg area, and found a great offer at the Grand Hotel in Falkenberg. The price for one night was 650 swedish kroner including breakfast and parking. That was very cheap, so I was pretty sure we would get a room with a view to the dumpsters or something like that.

When we arrived to the hotel it looked amazing. In the middle of the city of Falkenberg and just next to the river. The extremely friendly receptionist upgraded us to the top floor to an amazing superior room with its own balcony overlooking the river. I have stayed at hundreds of hotels, but this was the first time I have ever been upgraded, so I will be that receptionist ever greatful :-)

This is not a huge modern hotel. The elevator we could barely be in, but the hotel has a lot of charm and the staff is very friendly.

The breakfast was also a great surprise. Strangely enough we were the only two people in the breakfast restaurant this sunday morning. I did not see any other guests at the hotel as well. They still had a huge breakfast buffet though, with lots of bread, yoghurt, eggs, bacon, sausage, juices, pastry, fruit...and lots of other things.

The city of Falkenberg is really nice with nice looking restaurants and shops.

Please keep in mind that this review is based on the room we got with the upgrade. If we got the room we paid for the rating probably would be different.

Sorry about tha bad quality pictures, but it was taken with a cell phone.
