Grand Hotel Marstrand

We had a lovely one night stay in August. This is a lovely charming hotel. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Beautiful island with a nice walk out over the rocks around the island. It was very interesting to visit the fort. Staff were very welcoming and helpful

The location of the hotel is Amazing so it is perfect for a romantic date night closer to the city. The classic look of the restaurant, the gazebo and the view is best for a wedding ceremony dinner or office celebration party. The dishes taste great. Loved the apple pie 🥧. Must try the Irish ☕️

While its position on an island is exotic, it is a bit of a challenge to get to. It requires taking a short ferry ride across the harbor and then walking about two blocks (on cobblestone walks) to the hotel. If you have a lot of luggage, try to get the hotel to meet you to pick up luggage from the ferry. The hotel is beautifully situated on a bluff overlooking the harbor from a block away. We had a beautiful room looking out that direction over a wedding and a park between the hotel and the harbor. We had to carry luggage up to our room on narrow stairs, with some help from the front-desk attendant. We enjoyed the ambiance of this old gem, including dinner in a tightly filled room. Despite a mix-up of times, we were accommodated and enjoyed a scrumptious meal with regional wine. Breakfast was a modest buffet of mostly cold items and was included. We recommend not making this an overnight hotel as the time and out reduces your opportunity to enjoy the island. We also had the fortune of seeing the 3rd day of an America's Cup race for certain classes of historic racers.

Ok, so the hotel has a lot of history and with a top class restaurant in the basement. Location perfect. We stayed in room 27, small suite which was lovely but there was a hotel bar which played very loud music until 0115, our kids sleept but we didn't....we complained in the reception and they were very helpful but the night after it was the same thing. Summery: if you don't want to party late don't stay in room 27, otherwise the rest of the hotel is fine. Thumbs up for very friendly staff!

Being proactive is key in the hospitality industry. Handing a room to a family of four with two children and not informing them that there is a nightclub that runs until 2 am as well as a 6 am cleanup crew right below the room qualifies for poor service. What makes it worse is to learn that they have plenty of other more quiet rooms available when we asked at 12:30 am about when the noise will stop.

We went for dinner. It’s a big space buzzing with people. Food was great. Ate Onsen eggs in the starter and it was yumm. Main course was yummy too. But no option with chicken or vegetarian in the menu. Cocktails were made superb. Good place to sit cozy with a small view

The only thing Grand about this hotel is its name, the reception area is tired with threadbare carpets, we were given a large but tired and dated room on the ground floor opposite reception with a quite frankly grubby bathroom, I say reception as both receptionists were completely indifferent. Avoid at all costs rooms on the ground floor, our room was above and next to the Restaurant exit and a group of delegates from a certain well known Swedish car company decided to be as loud and as late as possible for both our 2 night stay, we were kept awake until after 2.00am.||Be warned if youre not fit and able as you have to park your car in a car park on the opposite side of the island, a 500mtr walk to the ferry and then carry your bags to the hotel another 500mtr walk over cobbles and an incline, even having rang reception to tell them of our arrival there is no help offered and the Receptionists considered the whole episode amusing. I can't comment on the Restaurant as we decided that if the standard of the rooms was anything to by we would give the food a miss.

Company arrangement with 40 attendees. Worked like a clock! Impressive. Beautiful little hotel. Good standard. Rooms spacious, clean. Bathroom very nice.|It is not an easy task for a smaller kitchen to serve hot fish to forty people with success. They made it with flying banners. The fish was outstanding - as well as the steak for dinner which harmonised perfectly with the Rioja Crianza 2013. |The only little "but" removing a star is the somewhat "greasy kitchen odor" in the restaurant.|Will not be long time till I am back to this idyllic pictoresque place, tith my better half.
