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.

Rummet var okej, ingen utsikt mer än en bakgård med container nästan precis utanför fönstret.
Personalen tipsade om pizzeria Lovis som höll till nere på caféet på området men när vi kom dit, hungriga efter en dag på ALV så kunde den arbetande personalen där inte servera varken pizza eller toast utan vi fick nöja oss med pommes och kokt korv.

Fantastisk !!!
Vi var super nöjda med hotellet!!! Toppen!!! Rummet lagom stort o fattades ingenting. Fanns riktig fristående hårfön, bodylotion, vinglas o stora badlakan. Fanns en sällskapsrum precis brevid lekrummet. Lekrummet var mycket uppskattat av mitt 4 åriga barnbarn. Där kunde man leka o rita. Frukosten var hur bra som helst!!! Där var oxå ritor o papper med motiv som barnen fick rita vid matborden så föräldrarna fick äta i lugn o ro. Personalen kunde ordna en termos med kaffe om man önskade det. Många fina små detaljer som vi blev väldigt glada över. Allt var genomtänkt. Personalen var toppen!!! Vi kommer absolut boka detta hotell igen när vi ska besöka Astrid Lindgrens värld. Tusen tack från barnbarnet, dottern o mormor ❤️
