I spent a few weeks at Grand in November and December, and I could not be more pleased with my stay. If you are going to visit Gjøvik Grand is the perfect place to stay. It’s a short walk from the rail- and bus station, and once settled in your room you live in the heart of what can be called the “restaurant district” of Gjøvik. The hotel is connected to Egons, but I recommend experiencing the restaurants and cafes close by. Within a few minutes’ walk you can eat Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Italian, Turkish, Indian, and Spanish and Latin food, and the hotel also offers a great evening meal! Grand offers both breakfast and an evening meal included in the stay. Having experienced evening meals in other hotels I did not expect much and I was very pleasantly surprised. The evening meal is a full dinner with usually two options where soup is a constant. The food tastes great. I had the best Boeuf Bourguignon at Grand! It is a clearly a big advantage that the hotel has their own chiefs, since the quality is consistent. In addition there is “fika” with Norwegian waffles every afternoon. They taste good. I was very pleased with my room. Bed was comfortable and big plus with the two armchairs. Great pillows! I also had a very nice bathroom. Housekeeping is not daily for visitors that stay for more than a night, but you inform the front desk when you want to have your room taken care of. The staff is very friendly and I have only good things to say about their service level. There was always a “good morning” and a friendly face. In addition to being close to other restaurants it is also close by the stores downtown and to the shopping centre CC Gjøvik. Before heading to the shopping centre I recommend to see what the individual and independent stores have to offer.

“Nice hotel but you must realize it’s a bus tour stop! No personal meal service or experience- overrun with groups”

Rooms and historical aspect of the building are fine but catering to bus tour groups really ruins the feel for individual travelers - I realize they make money off the bus groups, but I will never stay there again—

“Awsome food”

Awsome breakfast. In the middle of day you get free waffles and free evening food. Food was very good. Friendly staff. Cheap parking on the oposite side of hotell make sure to book it threw the front desk. Room was an ok size for 1 person with a 150x200 bed. Tv, a chair snd puff and desk with… lisää

Awsome breakfast. In the middle of day you get free waffles and free evening food. Food was very good. Friendly staff. Cheap parking on the oposite side of hotell make sure to book it threw the front desk. Room was an ok size for 1 person with a 150x200 bed. Tv, a chair snd puff and desk with chair. Bed was nice to sleep in. Only one pillow but i guess you can ask for another if you like. Strugggle to sleep? Then do not get the rooms located next to the stairs or elevator as you hear it. You can also hear the other people in the other rooms. Its an old building so im guessing thats why. Cracked tiles in bathroom. Other than that it was ok. They use Rituals soap, shampoo, ect with lovely smells. And if you like it that mich you can buy it at the front desk.
