Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Generally acceptable — several guests describe rooms and cottages as 'rent og pænt', 'fräsch och nyrenoverad', but there are notes of 'sådär städat' and sticky floor in the breakfast room.
Service
9.3
Strongly positive — many mentions of welcoming, helpful and courteous staff ('Venligt, imødekommende', 'courteous staff', 'trevlig personal'). A few isolated unfriendly interactions reported, but overall service is a clear strength.
Location
9.7
Outstanding — repeatedly praised for views and position above Vättern, easy access to Gränna/Visingsö and scenic surroundings; 'fantastisk utsikt' mentioned many times.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed — several guests love renovated cottages and views, but there are recurring issues: very small bathrooms, dated rooms in places, bunk beds instead of doubles, broken light bulbs and a broken TV remote.
Amenities
7.9
Mixed amenities — positives include free parking and EV charging; negatives include lack of AC in many rooms, missing minibar/mini-fridge, and at least one report of a booked sauna not functioning.
Value for Money
7
Some concern — a number of guests feel it isn't fully worth the price (mentions of being surprised by extra tip charge at check-in, and statements like 'Inte värt pengarna').
Food and Beverage
9
Generally very strong breakfast offerings praised across reviews ('Doskonała, bogata oferta śniadaniowa', 'Excellent buffet de petit déjeuner'), though a few complaints about restaurant presentation and items not being replenished.
Overall Experience
9.4
Overall positive guest experience — many guests plan to return and highlight the ambience, view and pleasant stays despite some practical issues (bathroom size, amenities).

Excellent and beautiful place. Calm and family friendly. Great breakfast. We come back.
Pros:

Picture beautiful, calm, safe and unforgettable place to create memories with family. My child likes castles and was amazed of the hotel, reception, rooms and breakfast area. We traveled with a dog and we stayed in a separate cabin which was excellent for a calm and private stay - there were enough nice areas around to have nice walks as a family. Good energy and you feel how you recharge your batteries - even while sitting on a bench in front of the cabin and watching over the lake and sunset - just amazing.
