Achtung, hier werden 4-Sterne suggeriert mit einem entsprechenden Preis und sehr gut getroffenen Fotos. Das sind maximal 2-Sterne! Das Hotel ist stark in die Jahre gekommen, erinnert an ein klassisches Motel wie man sie in USA oder Australien kennt - da geht man aber auch mit einer anderen Erwartungshaltung hin. Keine Ahnung wie das überhaupt 4 Sterne bekommen konnte oder ob sie sich dei 4 Sterne selber gegeben haben. Das Frühstück war ok, das Abendbuffet eine Zumutung. Pommes, Nudelsalat und völlig trockene Fleischstücke. Bei 250EUR pro Nacht fühlt sich das nach Abzocke an. Den Pool den man auf den Bildern sieht gehört zu einem Nachbargrundstück und war geschlossen, nachdem ab Mitte August die Urlaubssaison beendet ist. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt hat übrigens auch die Pipi Langstrumpf Welt nur noch am Wochenende geöffnet.

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.

Potentiellt kul för barn och nära ALV

Vid incheckning fick vi ett oengagerat mottagande. Vi fick ingen info över huvud taget om faciliteterna- pool, lekplats, minigolf, lekrum, filmrum etc. Och då kom vi med barn. Poolen hittade vi på egen hand men visste inte att vi kunde få rabatt med hotellet etc. Rummet ok men var under lekrummet- lät som en elefanthjord ovanför. Saknade mjölk till kaffet på rummet. Dessutom var kvällsbuffen i restaurangen inte värd sitt pris och att skriva att det finns A la carte när det finns en rätt att välja på är väl sådär.

Familjevänligt hotell

Familjevänligt hotell med det lilla extra. Bokade ekonomi rum och det var precis lagom för oss. Nära till lekrum och utomhuspool en bit bort som barnen älskade. Enda minuset var brödet till frukosten, torra frallor som inte kändes nya. Men resten av frukosten helt ok. Bra standard utbud med ägg, bacon, fil, pannkakor, vattenmelon mm.

Middagsbuffén var bra. Mycket barnvänligt hotell med bra barnpool och barnpassning med filmvisning. Frukosten var mindre bra med torra frallor och avsaknad av frukt. Generellt sett skulle hotellet behöva en uppfräschning för det priset man betalar.

Trevligt område som är väl anpassat för barn. Dock var rummen väldigt lyhörda så svårt att sova då grannarna lät mycket. Standarden på rummen var ok men skulle kunna behöva lite upprustning och omsorg.

Hyggeligt med plads til forbedringer

Generelt er hyggeligt hotel med masser af muligheder og ligger godt. Det var pænt og rent og venligt personale. De er lidt udfordret i restauranten mht. timing.. aftens buffet mangler tit det mest populære ting og der var lang ventetid på opfyldning, ligeledes morgenmads buffeten var der lange ventetider på de mest populære ting op mod 20 min begge dage

Frukosten behöver utökas

Det var dammigt under bäddsoffan i rummet. Alldeles för trångt runt frukostbuffébordet. För kallt i frukostmatsalen. Tyvärr inte våfflor till frukosten och utbudet av bröd var bara två olika att välja på. Inget lättsamt bröd som barn tycker om. Ingen brödrost eller rostbröd. Inga vitabönor. Köttbullarna var jättegoda till frukost! Inte glad eller hjälpsam personal under frukost. Jättebra personal i receptionen och mannen utanför receptionen. Tofflorna på rummet är alldeles för små för män. Morgonrocken hade trasiga hällor för knytbandet och saknade dessutom knytband. Ingen förvaringsmöjlighet i rummet förutom ett skrivbord. Mysigt med biovisning för barn. Fåtöljerna utanför lekrummet har stora fläckar.
