Grand Hotel Lund

Funny place. Central as it gets and definitely equipped with the old fashioned charisma.|I would have appreciated air conditioning, and the fact that we were not able to turn off the heating in the bathroom left us sweating. Breakfast room was equally funny. We were amongst the first guests of the morning and there was no hot food. Also only brew coffee included in the price.|Parking is NOT at the hotel, but at another establishment.|It was interesting to visit this place, but if I return to Lund I will likely try to find another, a bit more modern place.

Amazing hotel! Beautiful rooms, very nice restaurant and good food. There was no one in reception once we arrived for 10 min or so, other than that everything was wonderful ❤️. I don't know about you, but we are definitely coming back! ❤️

Our stay at the Grand Hotel Lund was really a pleasure. We had a Tower Room, a large room with huge bed and a nice balcony. All windows opened, which is always nice. The staff was great at check in, and the bar/restaurant wait staff were highly professional and very friendly. We loved it so much that we tried to extend our stay but the hotel was booked solid.

No aircondition in the room, very warm! And very warm duvets of down.||There where very strage ”rules” in the bar/restaurant. The staff spent a lot of time explaining these to the guests. Just because they already had prepared for breakfast with cutlery etc on all tables. On a Saturday evening! Must be something wrong with management I guess. ||Service? ||

We ate at the outside terrace restaurant for my friend's birthday, and it was fabulous from food to drinks to service. We were so grateful that they accommodated our large party of 8. Antonia was not only incredibly attentive during our visit, but it was she who saved the day by really making it work for us after another restaurant botched our reservation. Three cheers for Antonia!

Beautiful hotel, fabulous breakfast, very central - excellent evening meal - the best Swedish meatballs ever…. Disappointed that we didn’t have 3 beds as requested, nor were there tea/coffee/ hot chocolate making facilities in the room or on floor 4. Complimentary water would have been nice - there was a range of snacks/ drinks (including a bottle of water) to buy.

I am visiting this hotel after my last stay 38 years ago. Lund had changed and it's increasingly a tech and corporate hub plus the University. The Grand Hotel has been around for over 150 years and they have done a great job trying to preserve the decor and use a lot of Scandinavian style art and locally made furniture . The rooms are even more classic and you will feel part of history. The hotel is walkable from the train station. An easy 30 minute train ride from Copenhagen Airport. It looks like the hotel and it's restaurants are popular both with visitors and local Lund residents. Though we didn't eat here, I was told the whiskey flavored meat balls are a must try and were invented by a hotel guest. I am glad I visited the hotel again after decades.

Was upgraded due to an overbooking at another hotel and was delighted with my stay. The hotel has a beautiful old world style and the staff were obviously carefully selected and well trained. Breakfast was lovely with an omelette made to order.

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.
