Quality Hotel Grand Kristiansund

Location: The hotel is conveniently positioned for visiting Kristiansund. It is located in a quiet town, which provides a peaceful atmosphere. Proximity to attractions, such as being an hour's drive from the glacier, is appreciated.

This hotel undoubtedly has a great position in the town with amenities a very short stroll away. The communal areas are quite nice and the breakfast buffet was fine. Not so impressed with our room. To be fair I only booked a standard room but with a sea view. It was in the newer block and pretty small as was the shower room. There was a nice view of the harbour but unfortunately it was obscured by netting covering the hotel currently. Can’t be helped. Apart from being small it was fairly basic. Horrible brown carpet and the arms of the chair were grubby. My Vax would sort that out. No facilities for drinks in the room so trek down 5 floors for some hot water to make tea. A mini fridge would also be nice. An irritation that there was no mat to step on outside the shower and the floor got quite wet so we had to sacrifice a hand towel to use as a mat. Also nowhere to hang your damp towels and no shelf for toiletries. Fortunately the heated floor dried things fairly quickly. There was a charge for parking which is irritating and not many spaces-many were blocked off as reserved. For whom?? From the photos of other travellers it looks as if some rooms are much better than others. Pick and choose. I might stay again as the location is so good but a refurbishment is needed.
