Poor Food, Lovely room

The Room was fine, all the activities for kids was great. But the evening menu was very poor. The beef filled have the size of the bun, the ketchup was selfinvented and tasted mostly like pure tomato pure, not kid friendly.. Just a poor experience dinning

Terrible breakfast

Nice Hotel. But as for all Scandic hotels in Sweden the breakfast is terrible. especially the bacon which doesn’t look or taste as bacon, the pancakes which should not be allowed to be called pancakes and the sausages are made from chicken which make me feel sick. Most other Swedish hotels serve a great breakfasts, but not Scandic.

Trevligt, men ingen AC

Jag och min familj hade det väldigt trevligt på hotellet och ännu mer skoj i poolen. Maten var bra och frukosten fantastisk, likaså personalen som var väldigt service minded, trevliga och hjälpsamma. Det hotellet faller på är att det inte finns någon AC i rummen och det var de varmaste dagarna år 2025. Det som finns i rummen är en bordsfläkt och en golvfläkt och de kunde inte göra så mycket för att hjälpa situationen. Det var miserabelt att vistas i rummet och sen försöka sova. Men det är det enda negativa med hotellet, allt annat var suveränt och vi är nöjda med allt förutom sovrummet.

Hyggelig opphold

Smidig ankomst med parkering utenfor. Frokosten var bra. Omgivelsene rundt elven var hyggelig. Treningsrom og basseng trekker opp. Rommet var noe lite. Resepsjonisten ga litt lite info når vi ankom, så vi måtte spørre om endel basic ting som man normalt blir opplyst om ved innsjekk.

Her bor du godt.

På tross av opp mot 30 varmegrader fikk vi et rom med levelig temperatur. Hotellet hadde i tillegg satt inn ekstra bordvifte, som gjorde god nytte. Oppholdet frister virkelig til gjentagelse.

Alle hund rom er opp mot veien, ingen aircon

Hadde hund med og da får en hund rom opp mot veien, ingen aircon så åpent vindu og vifter i døgndrift. Gammelt hotell men virker til en natt, ikke vert 2000 nok for familierom.
