Review Highlights

Pros:
Very friendly and helpful staff
Excellent location (near harbour, shopping, sea views)
Dog-friendly and free parking
Generally good breakfast
Cons:
Dirty/worn rooms and bathrooms; sewage smell reported
Slow or limited restaurant service and opening hours
Dirty windows/poor ventilation reducing sea-view benefit
Perceived poor value when paying extra for better rooms

Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Multiple guests reported dirty and worn areas, bad bathroom grout and recurring sewage/avloppslukt in bathrooms and corridors; windows described as very dirty which reduced experience.
Service
9.2
Consistently praised staff: trevlig/helpful personnel, quick room changes and friendly service in restaurant; a few service slowdowns and inflexibility when fully booked were noted but overall service is a strong point.
Location
9.5
Repeatedly called out as excellent — great central location, close to harbour/shopping, many rooms with sea view and a pleasant foyer area.
Room Quality
6.4
Rooms described as worn/slitet, some too small and with very soft beds; bathrooms especially in need of renovation and some booked ‘sea view’ rooms had small windows.
Amenities
7.8
Positives include free parking and dog-friendly policy and a pleasant foyer; shortcomings include limited restaurant/bar opening hours, no evening self-service options (fridge/snacks) and occasional restaurant capacity issues.
Value for Money
6.5
Several guests felt the price did not match condition (paid extra for sea view with dirty windows, worn rooms); some appreciated offerings for pensioner guests but expected clearer information on target audience.
Food and Beverage
6.9
Breakfast is often praised but had supply/service issues (e.g. juice, bread, limited items); a la carte quality received complaints (e.g. poorly cooked entrecote) and restaurant was sometimes fully booked/slow.
Overall Experience
9.8
Overall a positive stay for many thanks to excellent location and very friendly staff; however, significant cleanliness and maintenance issues tempered the experience for some — many guests said they'd return if renovations/ventilation improvements were made.

Dejligt sted
Pros:

Værelse, sauna, shuffleboard i kælder.

Cons:

Om aftenen kom der i en periode kloaklugt fra badeværelse. Ville ha nævnt det ved udtjek så personalet kunne handle på det, men glemte da lugten var væk igen.

Værelset ikke som bestilt
Pros:

Billederne stemmer ikke overens med virkeligheden.
Værelserne er ikke som vist.
Det er beskidt overalt og meget slidt.

Vil komme igen hvis de renoverer og får pudset vinduerne så man kan se ud.

Cons:

Intet

En härlig höst helg i Simrishamn
Pros:

Läget, trevlig personal och sköna sängar.

Cons:

Något bristande underhåll, ser lite slitet ut på sina ställen.
Restaurangen kunde vara mysigare.

Vi trivs bra på Svea och kommer gärna tillbaka men, lite fräschare önskas…
Pros:

Trevlig personal, fint läge och god frukost!

Cons:

Det är nog dags för en uppfräschning av framför allt badrum/ toalettrum. Duschen kändes oren med smutsiga fogar etc.

Helt OK
Pros:

Läget, fri parkering, soligt o bra höstväder, trevlig personal, snyggt och rent.

Cons:

Åt ganska sent, 09.00 och då fick vi fråga efter bröd, teskedar till ägget, plättar fanns knappt några, apelsinjuice behållaren hade stopp i kranen, tog fem minuter att fylla ett glas juice(båda dagarna). Tilltugg till kaffet kunde varit lite mer generöst. Ingen frukt osv. Fullbokat i restaurangen lördag kväll (2 personer borde gått att fixa ett bord åt, dvs inte så flexibelt!!)
