Grand Hotel Lund

Genteel friendly service. Wonderful food. Delectable. The restaurant has an old world feel and well appointed. The restaurant was referred to us by a local Dane who said the Swedish meatball entree was very good. was delicious! Served with mashed potatoes, pickles and longaberries. Charcuterie board was also excellent. Highly recommend this fine establishment.

We visited for a Christmas lunch and enjoyed a very nice, traditional experience with a classic Swedish julbord. The buffet was fresh and tasty, and our two-hour seating was plenty of time to savor the meal. That said, it’s on the pricey side – the bill for six people, including drinks, came to approximately 7000 SEK. Surprisingly, even a cup of black coffee wasn’t included and had to be paid for separately. As our group consisted of people from different countries, we asked if the bill could be split into six equal parts for convenience, but we were told that this wasn’t possible. This meant our first stop after lunch was a nearby vending machine to sort things out. Overall, a good experience with some room for improvement on service flexibility.

It says luxury hotel on their Tripadvisor introduction. It’s not. This could be such a nice hotel but the whole house needs a good refurbishing and facelift. ||The hotel rooms are very outdated and worn down. Bathrooms fairly clean but also very 80’s decor. 90 percent of the electricity outlets in our room did not work. So, waking up to nothing charged for the day. Floors are quirking hence waking up your partner every time you get out of bed. French balcony facing a backyard with huge machinery systems for the hotel making noise all the time. Which meant no possibility to have the door open during night. With no air conditioning in the room. During the summer this must be terrible. ||Breakfast was really good though. Why I can put 3 stars as a grade. Friendly staff. Close to the railway station and good location in the very centre of Lund. But would not book again.

Customer service is nice and helpful and bed comfortable. The hotel is in a beautiful historical building. I love staying at historical hotels but this one I given 3 stars as it really needs to update their installations. No complimentary water. No kettle in room with tea or coffee (there is a station outside for all rooms). The room does not have USB port and the reception doesn't offer adaptors. They charged my phones at the reception to help. No smart TV to login to your accounts like Netflix etc and has only 4 channels working. Breakfast has an assortment of breads and meats but no fresh fruit. Next time I'll try my luck somewhere else in Lund.

As a mainly business traveller having a hotel room with no complimentary drinks Tea or Coffee not even water. Alcohol was available minibar but be careful not to mix the champagne and alcohol free sparkling wine. The mini bottle of champagne is expensive. I struggled to get tea making stuff for my 4 day visit.

Have seen this hotel on previous visits to Lund and had wanted to stay here for a while. Glad that I did, although not sure I would return.||While the building is incredibly elegant, with its impressive staircase and chandeliers, look a bit closer and the furniture is a bit flimsy and chipped at the edges.||What I liked: the location is very handy for both the train station and the city centre. My room was clean and spacious. As a fitness fanatic, I loved the fact that there was an agreement with a nearby gym so that I had access to decent equipment. The sauna was also a plus, although it wasn’t immediately obvious how to book it. ||What I didn’t like: the noise insulation was poor, as I could hear people walking around in the room above mine. I decided to eat in the hotel’s restaurant one evening and was ignored by staff for almost ten minutes when trying to be seated. I appreciate that it was maybe a busy evening and I didn’t have a reservation, but it felt like the staff were pretending not to see me and continued wiping the bar and making coffee etc.

Went to grand hotel after being recommended their expresso martini . So we thought we go their and have a dessert as well that . Once upon arrival the lady lady said we could sit anywhere , but when we chose a table by the window we aren’t allowed sit there but have to sit in the back of the corner ???? Really poor costumers service !!! The place were not even full and by sitting by the window makes it look busy to accuracy other guest ( business tip for you ) so we left . I wound not recommend this place on how they treat their costumers absolutey appealing . Will not recommend this at at all if you are a tourist in this town though they treat you really bad

Had a tour of this town and was recommended to try the restaurant here. It definitely didn’t disappoint. All the food we ordered were all absolutely delicious.

Recently had a lovely stay. Beautiful old hotel centrally located just a few minutes from the train station. Breakfast buffet was delicious and a highlight every morning which was included with the room. We stayed in one of the family rooms which was perfect for two kids (smaller size pull out couch a little on the creaky side. Faced the back courtyard unfortunately without much of a view. Third floor room a little louder I think from staircase going up to the fourth floor so would probably try to stay in 2nd or fourth floor next time. Nice parlor on first floor to relax, hang out and can bring drinks from the bar.

The food was great, service wasn't as stellar but I would definitely go back for the food again.

Incredible Whiskey meatballs, mashed potatoes and lingonberries and pickles. Shrimp sandwich!

Stopped here on our day trip from Copenhagen. Swedish meatballs were delicious and they came with mashed potatoes, lingonberries and pickled cucumbers. Would definitely consider stopping here while visiting Lund. Excellent service as well. They made us iced tea, even though it wasn't on the menu, which was great as well.

We were on the hunt for Swedish meatballs, and the Grand Hotel did not disappoint! Our meal came with bread and salad as well, which was a nice touch. The meatballs were absolutely delicious, and the staff was friendly. Couldn't ask for anything better!

Love this hotel. Best location and the breakfast buffet is amazing. Every floor has Nespresso free coffee and free umbrellas to borrow if it rains.

We had a quick lunch here over the weekend on a Day Trip to Lund from Copenhagen. We popped in during two events but the mailer de found us a table. The meatballs and mashed potatoes were delish, we were served quickly, and the service was good. Make this place a stop if in Lund on a Day Trip.

Service is outstanding! This is actually the best part. Love the big windows and the view of the square. We came for the meatballs and they were great! Highly recommend. There is enough for 2 or a really hungry person. Don't be in a hurry to leave. They hand out lotus flowers and expect you to stay.

The grand in the Grand Hotel means just what it says: "Grand". In fact so much so I'll especially recommend it for impressing purposes. Whether the subjects to impress are the current or becoming in-laws, spouses or business clients Grand is the place that might very well help you to seal the deal or at the least maintain the deal! The Grand Hotel in Lund is a force , read classical institution of refinement, to be recognized with. This is due a factor I refer to as ancestry that helps it to become a master of finesse in gastronomy, service and hospitality. Take the weekly changing menu, it is intriguing, intricate, eco-freindly and diverse. It's creatively inspired of and by regional and seasonal elements/influences that are combined in harmony and all executed with great finesse. It is indeed exclusive but this is a place for special occasions and for such the town of Lund has no better place to offer. Aside the competent and creative kitchen what you also pay for is this great ancestry, ambiance, vine cellar, bar and staff that are all parts of this bigger picture and concept called "Grand i Lund". This concept, I must add, should not be regarded as overly posh or snobby. Even bigger hipster types than I, still not need to feel any fear of Grand hotel's grandiose . At Grand Hotel you are offered the choice of two restaurants where one is more rustic, lively and less refined than the other; meaning less silverware confusion! Still not convinced Grand is hipster/casual enough for your likings, well then why not try The Grand concept's new child, a way of branching out to all classes, called The Grand Deli. A great place to pick up herbs, oils, condiments and spices as well prepared meals that only need to be heated before consumption. They are the prefect take away lunches if you ask me, simple but nevertheless tasty, affordable and uncompromising organic or as they call it without E-numbers (preservatives).

Dined at this historic establishment in Lund after a day at the University. It's under considerable construction and renovation on the outside, creating a deceptive level of lower expectations with entry. Nonetheless, the bar area was reasonable where we aggregated 'til all of our party arrived. Transitioning to the restaurant, we were mildly surprised at its simple elegance, and very good service as well. Our party ordered off the a la carte menu, and sampled the duck, the turbot and the beef, with compliments on each; the duck was cooked just right - not overdone; the turbot was flaky and well seared; the beef was tender and delicious. Our party included both locals and visitors, uniformity of the positive opinions.

After spending 4 nights here, I can attest that while this hotel might look like a grand hotel, it really isn't. The common rooms can be elegant and certainly the location is excellent. But the devil is in the details. In most respects, the Grand Hotel is rather ordinary. And the service- both at the front desk and in the breakfast room is really poor. In most grand hotels we have stayed at, the rooms were quite special with amenities. Not here. There was no coffee pot or supplies in the room, there were no individual soaps or shampoos but instead the hotel chose the very cheap way of having a large container for soap and a large container for shampoo in the shower. The safe was broken. There was no way to turn off the broiling heat. We had to complain loudly to get the staff to turn it completely off. The shower flooded. The breakfasts were OK but not really special so we didn't look forward to breakfast, as we have done in so many hotels. Imagine this happening in a 'grand' hotel: I returned to my room right after it had been cleaned one day. I was horrified to find the most disgusting body odor that must have come from the cleaning staff. I quickly called in a supervisor who happened to be in the hallway as I tried to air out the room. She came in and was also horrified by the smell. She told me that she knew which cleaner it was but that it was too sensitive a matter for anyone to tell him that he has horrendous body odor! Conclusion: The guests should suffer because the staff is too timid and politically correct to tell the truth to a smelly employee!

One of the best meals I've ever had in Sweden. The meatballs were amazing and served with traditional home made lingon berries and summer new potatoes. We also had the open faced shrimp sandwich, which was excellent. Service was very good.

We had an excellent dinner here, starting with gin and tonics from the special G&T menu, which had a dozen different tonics and many more gins. The food was modern Scandinavian, featuring such seasonal items as Ramson flowers, nettle sauce and wild asparagus. I had ox tongue and veal tenderloin, which were both very good. The wine list is extensive and well-chosen, with all the famous names as well as many lesser-known gems. The service was old-school, but friendly and not at all stuffy. The host/sommelier stopped by to chat for a few minutes at the end of the meal.

In short: the hotel, itself, was great; but the service was repeatedly disappointing. Our room was airy and pleasant. While the rain shower ends up being more of an annoyance than a pleasure, the whole place felt clean and well-maintained, and that was enough for me. The bed was comfy (though what's with two separate blankets for a single couple?), the windows let in fresh air, and the seating area by the windows gave us a place to relax. The breakfast was GREAT. Very thorough, with high-quality food and lots of individual items I'm still craving over a week later (such as the raisin bread). The hotel also had lots of little perks that we didn't get to use, but that gave it a certain feel, like conference rooms and a ballroom, a relaxation area downstairs, and a sauna. The wifi was free and had a strong signal in our room. There is also a "business center," which is a computer down a corridor that anyone can use. The area was great. Close to both the train station and downtown. I always felt safe. The service was, unfortunately, totally unacceptable for such a high-level hotel. For example, when we got in, we discovered that the door wouldn't lock (the deadlock wasn't working). When I called to report it and ask for it to be fixed, the woman at the front desk insisted we didn't actually need a lock. I disagreed, and wanted the lock (there was no safe in the room, among other reasons), but I really had to push it. Sure enough, the next morning around 7am a cleaning person walked in on us since we were unable to lock our door. "At least it'll be fixed today," we thought. But over the course of our stay there (almost one week long), despite reporting it several times, it was never fixed. In another incidence, my fiance had the hotel clean his dress shirts. When a shirt was returned with a collar stay missing, he reported it (hoping that it could be found and returned to him) and was met with unhelpfulness. When he described the collar stay as the plastic one that came with the shirt, unhelpfulness turned to snarkiness as the desk person quite directly stated my fiance was cheap for using plastic and should invest in metal ones. That comment felt very inappropriate. (Also, sidenote, why invest in metal collar stays if Grant Hotel is just going to lose them?) Suffice it to say that, while my fiance asked several times about the collar stay, it was never returned to him. And when he asked for any pair of matching stays from the purported box of lost+found collar stays--something they originally offered--the hotel refused! The one ray of light here was the person who cleaned the room. When we accidentally broke a glass and small shards went all over, I found him in the hallway and--without my asking--he immediately dropped everything he was doing to attend to the situation. I appreciated his responsiveness, especially in the face of his colleagues essentially ignoring our reasonable requests. In sum, Grand Hotel has been set up as a great hotel. And it is a great hotel. But as soon as something small goes wrong, you're on your own.

We went here for a traditional Swedish meal. We had the whiskey meatballs which were wonderful. The restaurant has a great ambiance - cozy and inviting even on a weekday after 8 pm. Friendly staff.

Rooms were smallish and out dated. But the bit that really annoyed me was the aggressively anti-vegetarian character of its restaurant. For breakfast, there were 11 kinds of cold meat, and 6 kinds of cheese, and precisely ONE kind of fruit -- some very unappealing looking apples.
