“Beautiful old hotel - but not perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

Beautiful old hotel with amazing stairs. We had a superior room which I recommend for two persons since this means two 90 cm beds, lower categories have smaller beds. Being an old renovated hotel means that it looks nice with approx 4 m room height but also some negatives like no A/C (not in our room) and creaky floors and not the most modern bathrooms (although clean). Speaking on bathrooms, the bathroom had a bath that you had to shower in (i prefer a standalone shower) and most annoying the absolutely cheapest toilet paper available in Sweden - not suitable for a 4 star hotel...

Breakfast was good ans plentiful but a bit chaos from 8.30 to 9.30 it was hard to find a empty clean table and things like cutlery, plates and food kept running out and it took some time before it was refilled.

Bishops Arms pub (a British type gastro pub) is in the hotel and it was nice as usual!

Room Tip: Superior rooms have large beds

“Very elegant hotel, some good value rooms BUT some noteworthy annoyances!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

(Negatives on top, pluses coming below - this is a nice hotel but I feel that some negatives are worth pointing out.)

NEGATIVES:
-You are expected to pay at arrival, like at some budget hotel... Normally as a guest I prefer to at least see the room before I pay. That is almost always normal, or at least a possibility, but at this hotel this is not possible.
-The single room that I stayed in had a very claustrophobic feel to it. It was right under a sloping ceiling on the 3rd floor, meaning that in most of the room an adult person could not stand upright. I did not like it. If you have any claustrophobic tendencies or you are tall, avoid this type of room.
-Housekeeping did the room while I had breakfast, which felt like a bit of an intrusion. I have never before experienced a situation whereby housekeeping enters before the breakfast session is finished.
-The room that I had was facing other hotel rooms on the opposite side of a courtyard. No curtain was provided to protect privacy in the evening. Those opposite could view straight into the room unless the blackout curtain was drawn.

PLUSES:
-Great location
-Hotel housed in a very elegant building, newly renovated. Classic style that will appeal to most.
-Iron and ironing board at the room.
-Wifi is fast and free.
-Very nice breakfast buffet with anything a European might ask for, regardless what part of the continent you are from.
-Lactose free milk products are provided for breakfast if you ask - this is standard at good hotels in Scandinavia.
-Blackout curtains, a must in Northern Scandinavia.
-Bathtub

“Poor Hotel car parking”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

A big negative for this Hotel is the car park. The Hotel does not have its own car park, you have to use a public car park two blocks away. The Hotel has ten minute free car parking outside the hotel to load & unload your car. Fortunately for us the weather was fine, but it would have been very difficult recovering your car from the car park & packing your luggage outside the Hotel if the weather was wet as there was no shelter. The Hotel has 9 steps to carry your heavy suitcases up before you can get a lift to your room. This is not easy for older guest. We had air-conditioning in our room which was appreciated but very noisy as the fan speed control had been disabled. The breakfast had plenty of hot & cold choice & was very nice, the only negative for us was that the hot water urn was not maintaining the water on the boil for our cup of tea & the water was almost cold, & if you are a tea drinker you like your tea to be hot. The Hotel booking system was so inefficient that the Hotel guests were waiting out the door, even with two receptionist working. Management needs to improve their system. The Hotel generally had lots of old world charm.
