The hotel is not the newest. Still it has some advantages and friendly staff. Cozy beds and nice surroundings. Breakfast without Espresso Machine and could be improved in many ways.

Friendly staff, tired hotel appearance
We stayed 4 nights because of visit to Astrid Lindgrens Värld. And overall conclusion that it is a nice hotel, but we do not understand how it has 4 staff, and you do not get value for money.
One of us is in a wheel chair, so it is important with handicap friendly room.
Unfortunately the promised bath chair was not available the first night. Staff tried to help, but still not ok as we had written in advance and underlined the need. Furthermore the room was not so well for wheel chair due to a small hallway in the room. And it is placed right next to the common area so a lot of noise from people talking during the evening.
The rooms were not too clean, and it was not clear on how to arrange cleaning.
Breakfast was nice.
The hotel is not well isolated so there was a lot of noise from the other rooms.
What is good about the hotel is that there is a nice common area, and it is possible to store food in freezer and fridge.
When in car the location is ok when visiting Astrid Lindgrens Värld and her fb
Staff is friendly and helpful, but we’re puzzled how the hotel has obtained 4 stars.

The hotel makes a very good impression from the outside and has plenty of free parking.The reception at the front desk was very friendly and courteous.
The only annoyance in the room, which was large enough overall, was the constant supply of cool air via a room ventilation system (not the air conditioning system that can be switched off, this was switched off and in another corner of the room), which could not be switched off.
The breakfast was very good and varied.

Helt okej hotell
Sköna sängar, lagom temperatur. Rent. Det som drar ner betyget är framförallt att det är väldigt lyhört. Sedan blev det översvämning på toaletten när man duschade. Det var inte bara i vårt rum fick vi veta

Godt og børnevenligt hotel
Fint og meget børnevenligt hotel. Venligt og meget hjælpsomt personale. Morgenmad var fin og der var noget for enhver smag. Vi havde et stort værelse. Alt i alt et rigtig godt ophold.
