Best Western Plus Grand Hotel

Very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing hotel. We had a lovely visit. Moderately priced and definitely worth the stay. The room was comfortable, as was the bed. The restaurant was excellent, clean and good quality food. Service was great.

I arrived late and was greeted by very friendly and helpful staff. The location by the train station is hard to beat and the hotel is tastefully redecorated while preserving its heritage. Great breakfast!

Good location in centre of Halmstad. Room was clean but small, slightly dated (not very badly but definitely not new). Shower good power and temperature. Breakfast was very good with lots of options.

Lovely hotel with the best restaurant in town. It is unpretentious and has an amazing sauna. The bathrooms were very good with strong pressure and hot. Bed was very comfortable. Staff very friendly and engaging and made for a lovely stay. I highly recommend this as a pragmatic and comfortable place to stay

We stayed here for one night on a cycling trip. The hotel does have an ever so slight feel of faded grandeur but nothing to worry about as it's clean and smart throughout. The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming and the food in the restaurant and at breakfast was amazing. Really really good - would happily stay here again.

Room was small (single bed room) but clean, cozy and comfortable. Perfect for my work trip Even had a chromecast on the TV. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Across the trainstation, but couldn't hear any noise inside the room.

This hotel is conveniently located in front of the train station. Walking distance to downtown. Around 35-40 min walking to either west beach (västra stranden) or east beach (östra stranden). Breakfast is great, staff is very helpful, rooms are clean. The only down side from my point of view is that is quite overpriced even considering a high season. I didn't see value for money compared to other hotels in the west coast of Sweden.

The high standard quality of the hotel, the comfort and the open buffet breakfast are extraordinary, especially if Annica and other staff are taken into account in your polite approach, this wonderful hotel will be a definite choice, thank you very much.

One short one night stay. Didn't see the surroundings. Nice welcome at the reception. Quickly fixed. Nice room. Big shower. Saturday evening. Restaurant was full, had to "do with" the bar. Not a downgrade at all. Manageable clear menu. Gourmet dishes. For starter, a local craft beer and snacks. A generous bowl of mixed olives, and bread. For dinner I had the fish. Very nice. The fish skin had gained from the heating element (while I was finishing the olives). The brocoli not so much. The breakfast: The Nordic countries, and Germany, are masters in brunch style breakfast settings. I love to hang out with a newspaper on a Sunday morning.

The hotel was very pleasant and in the best location for the city centre and the restaurants. The rooms are a bit rustic, i.e. rather old-fashioned, but everything is available. The breakfast was varied and well prepared

We had high expectations and these were met. Nice hotel, easy location for a walk to town, easy parking (free from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning), really good breakfast buffet with lots of choice, no noise despite train station nearby, nice room with high ceilings and generally a modern fresh feeling.

A rather irresponsible hotel. We chose to spend new years there to celebrate privately and safely. We called ahead to make sure the room had a big bathtub so we could lounge in that at midnight. We were assured the Junior suites had quite big bathtubs. The tub was miniscule. 1 person could fit half a body in it, if you chose which bodypart you wanted in water. The suite was so junior that it was barely out of preschool, i.e. two single rooms converted to a suite, one bathroom left as it was with a shower, and the other gutted, with only a little bathtub in it. The restaurant was closed, so one could not order food. We had to find a restaurant in town where we could pick up a take away menu. We had to bring plates and cutlery from home. There was no minibar, so you had to go to the reception if you wanted a glass of wine or soda. We toasted new years in water. That was complimentary. What really took the cake though was the breakfast: after waiting in line for a while in the lobby I spotted people going back and forth with plates. I enquired in the reception and she confirmed my suspicion: the breakfast served was a buffet! For what they described as a quite full hotel! At the height of the Corona Pandemic! The receptionist assured me it was fully legal, and they had plenty of hand sanitizer stations in there. It may not be illegal to serve a buffet, but nor is it illegal to think responsibly, and offer the guests a safe way to have a breakfast without an unnecessarily high risk of infection. In most countries around us Buffets are not legal currently. A hotel chain should have picked up on that. It is no wonder the pandemic soars through Sweden, reaping so many victims. Needless to say, we left the hotel hungry, and immediately. I hope the Hotel will supply the staff at the local hospital with free, safe breakfasts to help them get through this. They are currently all being asked to put in extra time and extra efforts. They shouldn't have to, but these are extraordinary times that require extraordinary measures! I hope this hotel will start contributing to the solutions in stead of being part of the problem. I will not be going there again.

I went to Halmstad for the annual IB Expo concert. That was a short trip and I had to stay for only two nights somewhere in Halmstad. Yes, the Airbnb options I found (20 minutes walk from the center) were twice cheaper than my room in Halmstad, but: 1) here I stayed in the center of the town in two minutes walk from the train (and bus) station; 2) I had fantastic breakfast every morning (I really wasn't able to taste everything); 3) the room was SUPER clean and quiet; 4) the personal was very friendly and helpful in all aspect (especially with telling where to get cash from and where to spend it). I am really thankful to my local tour agency who brought me such a pleasant experience by offering me to stay at the Best Western Plus Grand Hotel - my next choice whenever I am back in Halmstad.

a very nice hotel if a little on the pricey side. small cosy double bed room. wallpaper a little dated but otherwise clean and very comfy. breakfast was superb with fresh baked bread and local cheeses accompanying the usual continental breakfast selections

I went there for a couple of nights during a business trip. The hotel was nice, excellent situation right aside the train station downtown, breakfast was good with a large choice on the buffet. There is free wifi. The only downside is that in the bathroom there is a ventilation which is really loud and it is continuous, you cannot stop it.

I often stay here for business but in September 2019 I travelled here for work with a friend. We had the medium platter for 2 which was really amazing. All the staff made us feel so welcome. I can't wait to come back again! Clean rooms. Nothing special but certainly very good standard compared to other European hotels. All staff are super friendly with perfect English. Breakfast selection is pretty good but dinner is the best! And if you are staying here, go to tylosand and see Per Gessler's hotel (Roxette)....

Nice clean comfortable stay in Halmstad, just across the street from the train station and a few blocks walk to many restaurants and shops. Very helpful and pleasant employees. Very comfortable bed and the room was very clean.

It is rated as a 4* hotel. We are not sure. Maybe. We had a double room with two single beds. Wooden floor and it was also a handicap room. (The wash basin was thus quite low ) The sockets in the room we had in our room on 2nd floor are placed in questionable places and to few. We had to ask for an extension cord to be able to use our equipment in the bathroom. The outlet in the bathroom is only for shavers not for electrical hairbrushes etc. The TV was a Smart TV but it was not possible to connect the computers by cable or WiFi. The TV was rather small. All channels were HD. There is no Iron nor Iron board in the room and in the Iron room on the first floor was messy with worn down irons and Iron boards. We were informed by the reception that the Irons could be found on 2 and 4th floor but was informed later that it was on the 1st floor by the room maintenance staff. Wooden floor good. Water pressure in shower good. Good ventilation in the bathroom. Breakfast was as most hotels in Sweden OK. No egg station only pre-made scrambled egg liquid. The boiled eggs were boiled to short time and were very very loose. Parking close by for SEK 3 per hour from 9 AM to 6 PM. Not bad.

Grand Hotel is very well situated - just a short 10 minute walk from historical center, and at the same time just opposite the train station, very comfy for a business traveler. I got a tiny, but very cozy room and had a really good breakfast. Traditional English breakfast, smoked salmon, salami, hams, quite a few sorts of cheese, cereal, juice, vegetables - to name just a few of the options. A great stay, helpful and pleasant staff - easy to recommend this hotel.

I loved this hotel, we pushed the boat out and got the suite and it was definitely worth it. Beautiful room, great view over the train station , the kids just loved it. We also had dinner at the hotel and it was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was super friendly and helpful, our only regret was that we only booked one night. We will most definately come back.

Grand is a very nice hotel in the center of Halmstad and the rooms are comfortable and the staff is helpful and friendly. This time I had a rather small room but even though very nice. There is many hotels in Halmstad center and I have tried most of them but this is one I will come back to again.

The hotel as placed right next to the railway station. Not just a ordinary one, but a huge hub with heavy freight trains. The hotel has probably been a star once upon a time, but now it need to be updated. We stayed in a suite where the toilet lock was broken and we had to use a bottleopener to help get people out of the locked toilet. The hotel gave us a 25% discount at departure as a compensation. The restaurant is good though and the prices are reasonable. The price for the suite was low, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Best Western Plus Grand Hotel, Halmstad Sweden is one of the best hotels we've stayed in. Historic building charm with modern facilities. Excellent location downtown, across from train station, close to restaurants and shops. Hotel services and Front Office staff were always pleasant, friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. Rooms were super clean, well equipped & furnished. Very comfortable beds and pillows for a good night's sleep. Excellent breakfast and service. Kudos to the Management, thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay! J&M.

I recently stayed here for a business trip and I was very happy with the hotel. The staff at the front desk were always helpful, especially since I didn't know a lick of Swedish. The hotel was very easy to find after getting off the train. It was located within walking distance of the town square, and there is a bus terminal right next to the train station. The room was cozy, it was two twin beds pushed together. Easy access to a water dispenser made everything nicer. The tv had the ability to be in English or Swedish, and had a Netflix app on it. Room and bathroom were clean. The bathroom also had a heated floor which was super awesome. The breakfast was a slightly basic European style, which was to be expected. Cold-cuts, eggs, and yogurt. They had most items listed in Swedish and English, which was nice. My only drawbacks were the WiFi had issues for two nights, so even like Netflix on the tv didn't work properly. And also the room was a little too warm for my comfort, but I dealt with it. I'm sure I'll stay at this hotel again for future business trips, and I would happily do so.

Stayed for two nights. Arrived very late...warm reception, and hot tea and biscuits available in lobby. Clean and comfy room. Good Wi-Fi. Excellent range of breakfast food. 10 minute walk to supermarket. Across road from rail station.

Grand Hotel is just opposite the railway station in a quite neighborhood. 13 min to the university college and about the same to the city. Large light room with a very comfortable large bed. Good variety breakfast.

The grand hotel is a historic spot which offers a amazing atmosphere. Feels thrown back 100 years in the past. The rooms and the restaurant are newly renovated. High glass food for diner and a extensive breakfast buffet. Only 10 min walkway to Halmstad downtown.

The hotels location is great - right beside the train station, near the beach and the sea but close to the town of Halmstad too. The rooms are nice with comfortable beds and good storage space. The shower in our room was great too - nice water pressure and a choice of shower heads. Food was solid with a good selection for breakfast. Nearby are plenty of cafes and I also found a gym just 5 minutes walk away if fitness is your thing. Free WiFi also. What makes this place stand out for me though is the staff. They are incredibly nice and accommodating in every way they can be. They are polite, friendly, well trained - a credit to their employer. I'd recommend the Grand to everyone!

Horrible room hygiene. I had to clean bathroom and room facilities myself with antibacterial wipes and they were dirty! Dirty towels. I had to buy a new towel at local supermarket. I found someone else's hair on the blankets and chair. Dirty sink with toothpaste remains on the faucet. Noisy street outside with homeless people not far from here. Would recommend only for people with low standards.

Nice and warm hotel to stay in Halmstad. Located very close to city center, ca. 10 min walk. In the hotel you can find the restaurant. Unfortunately I haven't tried it as it was closed on Sunday but in case of breakfast there were a lot of food you can choose. All fresh and tasty. Floor heating in the bathrooms.

Stayed in a twin room with my sister for two nights - she has stayed before and recommended it. The room was lovely and big and very clean with very comfortable beds. It is a lovely hotel with very friendly staff. The breakfast in the morning was brilliant with lots of choice. It is very close to the town centre - about 5-10 minute walk. I hired a car and although the hotel does not have parking there is a car park right next to it which you have to pay for, but there is an app you can download and only pay for whilst at the hotel - it is free after 6pm. I will definitely be going back.

We slept here for one night. The hotel is very close to the railway station. We arrived by car, and it was easy to find a parking place. The hotel is moderately renovated preserving the old style, which we found to be nice. The room was of a nice size, the beds very comfortable and it was very quiet. We had a simple but OK dinner (the restaurant was closed for renovation) and we also had a n ice breakfast. We can only recommend the hotel. The service was very good and the wifi worked fine.

I was really surprised about the building. It's an old building from around 1905. The hotel is ok, across the railway, 10 min walk from the centre. Nice room, a little bit small, but I was alone and it was just for sleep. Breakfast was ok and a very nice staff. I was happy with it

This is a nice comfortable and friendly hotel, close to the main train station and the restaurants in the town centre. the room was nice and big, the bed comfortable and the bathroom warm with underfloor heating. I can recommend a stay here

I stayed there only one night but I had a good experience. The hotel is in an old building, you can see some original materials. It is part of the charm. The service at the reception and restaurant is very friendly. I had a burger at the restaurant with sweet potatoes fries! It was very tasty and the fries nice and crispy. The breakfast was as good, they had served in a very cute wait different choice for breakfast, coffee, tea, scrambled eggs, bacon, diverse meat slice and veggies, bread, gluten free, muesli, yogurt and some other stuff. My room, not facing the train station was very quiet.

Nice updated old hotel (built 1905) . Friendly staff. Good breakfast inclouded. We had a quiet room facing the courtyard and overlooking the rooftops. We had dinner at the restaurant twice and I can highly recommend it.

very large room with a lot of daylight, comfortable bed, all very clean, good and clean sanitary tools, excellent breakfast, friendly staff.expensive but worth it.parking around corner is free until 9am.

I stayed here for two nights. The room looked nice and modern but was a bit small. There was no socket next to the bed, which always surprises me. I use my phone as an alarm clock and I like to charge it over night and I don't think I'm the only person doing that. I had both lunch and breakfast at the hotel and everything tasted good. The restaurant staff seemed a bit lost every now and then, but everyone was friendly. The hotel has conference rooms and I had a meeting in one of them. It was a nice and quiet room. Wifi worked great for everyone, both in the conference room and in the rest of the hotel. The hotel is right next to the railway station, which is great if you arrive or depart by train like me. The town center is a few hundred meters away, across the river, so if you want to go shopping or go to a restaurant, you'll start with a walk or a short taxi ride.

We arrive and offered an upgraded room for 100 extra kronor we ask why and told the room you have is a bit small. OK we say and I give her 100 Kronor and I'm told they don't take cash and that I had to pay with my credit card, reluctantly I did. My credit card charges me nearly that much in exchange rate and transaction fees, Off we go to our room. Wacko!! 12m/2 at the most but you can walk around the bed. Clean but very basic, no fridge etc. If it wasn't getting late we would have moved but I don't think we would have got a refund. We then go out for diner and on my return I buy a beer for 65 krona I hand over a 200 krona note and once again told we are cashless and if I paid I wouldn't get change. That was the last straw. I left the beer on the bar and went back to my room. I will never return and suggest you avoid it!

Location in front of train station side, near to city center, public parking car in front of hotel by 3 SEK/hour, good scandinavian breakfast, supermarket and several restaurants nearby. The hotel offers a 75 SEK voucher to Bestwestern members.

The hotel is perfectly adequate, though maybe a bit on the expensive side of what you get. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and promptly made it to my room after a fairly scary elevator ride (don't miss that there are two elevators available, no need to wait for the one that everyone sees across from the reception - there's one behind it). I was surprised to see a fairly modernized hotel without outlets near the bed. Anyways, breakfast was all right, although I got there just before it was closing. And instead of starting to clean up all the dirty dishes that are everywhere, they started by taking away the food. A bit of backwards thinking if you ask me. But it was also during breakfast I experienced my biggest gripe with this hotel. Someone accidentally broke a plate and a male employee wouldn't do anything about saying it's women's work. Eventually he did pick up a broom and then started saying that obviously it's not a man that had invented this because it was working so poorly. There were also other derogatory comments. I don't care what happens behind closed doors but in the open during breakfast this kind of thing is not acceptable, and I can only imagine how they address female guests when they're out of earshot. Despite the hotel being good otherwise, this is something that will deter me as a customer and next time I might pick another hotel.

Visiting Halmstad for a funeral. We were greeted courteously and upgraded to a lovely room by the charming receptionist. The receptionists were very helpful and informative. The breakfast is a different story and incongruent with the hotels evident service ethic: we were not greeted or welcomed on any of the three mornings The breakfast is apparently available until 9.30am but is removed bit by bit without any communication from 9 10am onwards.The young breakfast waitresses did not address the guests at all and left dirty plates on the tables until the customers had departed. A real shame as the content of the breakfast was varied and good. The hotel management have totally missed customer service requirements for the morning.A pleasant greeting at breakfast and a smile would have made this a five star review.

The hotel is very conveniently located right across the road from the station - so no need for waiting for a taxi or any other form of transport. It was a late arrival but the reception desk was manned by a very friendly and helpful representative who signed me in quickly and efficiently. The room was big but cozy, and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was sparkling clean. Breakfast was a big fabulous spread and then I was on my way again. If I'm back in Halmstad again (or if any of you are), I'd definitely stay here - the atmosphere is quite charming.

It is located right by the train station. It is an old hotel but cute and charming. Staff are very kind and helpful. Antique furniture are very well maintained and add nice aspect to the hotel. I am not sure who will come to Halmstad in March but if you have to be here you may want to stay here.

I had never been to Halmstad before. I wanted a hotel close the to train station but not too expensive. I booked it using Hotels.com. What I liked about this hotel is the old style -- rooms, hallways, lobby, and eating area. The window in the room opened up all the way. The breakfast is very typical Swedish breakfast -- good breads, cereals, cheeses, cold cuts, beverages and their inability to do eggs right (just have never eaten decent scrambled eggs anywhere in Sweden). The elevator entrance is one I am not familiar with -- a swinging door. The hotels is 3 blocks from the river and access to the city center.

This is the third time we stay at this hotel and we've enjoyed it every time! Fantastic staff that are very friendly and helpful with good tips on where to go in Halmstad. Only thing is that the rooms can be a bit small for a family of four, but it's not a major problem. Rooms are clean and neat and the breakfast great as well as the hotel restaurant.

I liked the Flair of this (former) Grand Hotel, that has been modernized shure instinct to be modern without losing the athmosphere - i like that better than the typical anonymous modern hotels. But thats a matter of taste. Beside that, i found everything i expect of a good hotel: Good bed, fast Wifi, friendly staff, decent shower with both enough and hot water and really good breakfast buffet. That it tries to as sustainable as possible leads to not accepting cash (odd reason, but OK), not offering bottled water in the room, but carafes in the rooms plus fountains in the corridors (which i liked as, the typical tiny bottles mostly don't help if your really thirsty), is also a plus for me. That it is located opposite to the the train station is both advantage (short way for traveller) as disadvantage (well, a train station IS noisy), i did'nt bother. All in all one a clear recommendation.

This is a quiet hotel located near the train station. The room are small but functional and clean. Parking is very easy near the hotel. The breakfast offers quality products. A quiet hotel in a quiet city

Stayed for 2 nights in Halmstad at the Grand Hotel. I booked primarily because of location: very close to the train station, so I didn't need a taxi or have to push my bags through town. But still only 10-15 minute easy walk to center of Halmstad. I wasn't expecting the hotel to be as nice as it was, and for the staff to be so helpful and friendly. My room was updated and pleasant. Breakfast very good. Staff was very helpful with some local arrangements I needed to make. All in all a great experience, AND good value, which doesn't happen all that often. If I come back to Halmstad I will stay here.

We booked a 2 nights golf package with 3 greenfees, breakfast and 2 course dinnners. This was a bargain. Food was really good for a package offer. Cosy bar, great terrasse and great staff only completed our experience. We will definately return, as the golf courses also were of great standard.

The hotel is more than 100 years old and that classic style and atmosphere has been retained. Don't expect aircon in the rooms. Don't expect 50'' TV screens. But here's what to expect: 5 minutes walk to the city center and near a small park and a railway station and appx 20 min walk from the nearest beach. Friendly staff everywhere. Excellent breakfast that is being constantly refilled. Varied and fresh - you will not be disappointed (nearly guaranteed) Clean rooms of good standard. If I am going to Halmstad again this is where I will stay.

Everything was good at this hotel. We stayed only for one night. Breakfast was really good and was open until 10:30. Check out was at 11:00. The room was small but in good shape, except for the temperature, it was too hot and no air condition.

We were 5 couples on a golfing trip and received a very good offer from the Grand Hotel with an excellent combination of reasonable room prices and games of golf. Halmstad is a lovely town and the hotel very central. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We thought our room was a good size but our friends had even larger rooms. Parking is in a parking area just outside of the hotel but a fee has to be paid on weekdays. Our room was on the front of the hotel. It was very hot when we were there and with the windows open at night (no air conditioning) it was a bit noisy.

Hotel has its charming traditional look. Clean and comportable room even though it was a bit small. It is located just across the railway station and close to the city center. We found the parkingplace just outside the hotel and it was free (we arrived after working hour). Breakfast was surprisingly delicious with variety of fresh breads, smoked salmon and fresh vagetables. One of the best breakfast that I have enjoyed at the hotels.

I spent 5 nights in the Grand Hotel Halmstad and I slept very well! The Hotel is really quiet and comfortable. Just in front of the train station and of the bus station, it's realy well situated. I'll go there again for sure!

The hotel is conveniently situated, right in front of the train station and near the city center. Small but pleasant rooms. Tea, coffee and some snacks always guaranteed in the bar. Maybe not a real 4 stars hotel, but good in general.

It is a beautiful hotel at walking distance of the center of town and by the riverside, the train station is right in front. It is a classical old building with wonderful details and nice furniture. The double rooms are very spacious and the beds are nice, the bathrooms are a bit small but good shower pressure. Great for a weekend of couples or as a one night stay. Will repeat.

I was quite charmed by the town of Halmstad, and the Best Western suited my needs while here on business very well. Walk a few blocks across the river for great shopping and restaurants, and pass by some interesting sculptures and a baobob tree. (Still trying to figure out how it got there.) Great full breakfast at the hotel, and an awesome tapas restaurant. So many choices it should be easy to eat there every night and not get board. There is a nice water dispenser near the elevator on each floor dispensing still and bubble water, that was a nice treat. Electrical outlets are not super convenient, but just unplug a lamp and you will be fine. I brought an external charger and rotated between that and the outlet for phones and other electronics. It was no problem. Staff is super sweet. Everyone in town speaks fluent English. I have found my home in Halmstad!

Located opposite the station near town. Pleasant rooms if a little small. Staff efficient and pleasant. Had a quick meal in the bar which was good. The heated floor in the bathroom was lovely although the controls were a complete mystery to me!

Room was fine, clean and warm. Hotel had very central location, right at train station, just off the river. Food in the restaurant was very, very good. Staff very pleasant, I stayed one night only, but would go back.

A hotell that is very close to city center, and even closer to the railway-station. It has a long history. However, it has been updated, so the rooms and the connected restaurant is modern and up to date.

Good hotel, great breakfast, but interior in room also hotel need refreshment. But bathroom is ok and clean. Slowest elevator in the world , is not problem. Staff is helpfull and friendly. Restaurant offer great quality food. I appreciate quality of bed. Hotel not offer own parking

The location is great. Right by the train station and a 10 min walk to the city center. There's a parking lot right across the street. The rooms seemed to have been remodeled rather recently. The beds were excellent and the single room was decent size. Only negative aspect was that the breakfast could neither offer gluten free nor vegan options. . Strange considering the 4 star standard.

Comfortable with friendly staff, good rooms and good food. So ideal for train travel being across the road from the station - and only a short walk to the Town Square. A relaxing hotel that is fairly priced.

Hotel literally across the road from the central train station which is great when travelling in on business to Halmstad. Friendly staff were eager to help, rooms are small but just what's needed for a business trip.. Breakfast was really good with a lot of choice and fresh!

The hotel was built more than 100 years ago. In spite of that it's modern and offers nice rooms. It's situated close to the railway station. A stay here will be comfortable. I recommend the hotel but at the same time, you can find other hotels in Halmstad with the same standard with also a little bit more modern shape. Let the price decide for you!

The hotel itself is not bad at all. I would even say it is a nice place to stay. The breakfast is very good and the location is ok. Within 20 minutes you are downtown and if you arrive by train it is extremely convenient opposite to the train station. However, there are two concerns that I have: the rooms are so extremely small that it is hard to unfold yourself and there is no air condition.
