This hotel was lovely. It was clean and we got a big spacy room for our family of 3 kids. The hotel had a great playroom and cinema for the kids. The breakfast was great and the staff very friendly. We had only a 9 minute drive from Astrid Lindgrens Värld. There was also free parking outside the hotel.

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it. The room was very clean, comfortable and well kept, with a really good mattress that made for a great night’s sleep. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We also really appreciated how dog-friendly the hotel was, which made travelling with our dog easy and relaxed. Overall, a very pleasant experience and a place we would happily come back to.
