Staff is greate

“A hotel with a surprising charm, friendly staff, and excellent value for money”

Given the mixed reviews and some of the photos, we weren't sure beforehand what this hotel was going to be like, but it pleasantly surprised us - WE REALLY LIKED IT! Yes, it's a bit old, the outside looks unappealing, and parts of the inside do look a bit tatty, but it's got a surprising charm to it, and it provided us a great place to stay for a few nights, at a sensible price, with something different from a chain hotel. I have to give lots of praise for the lady on reception, who was BRILLIANT, very friendful and helpful to us with restaurant suggestions, and getting us some fans to help cool our rooms. The rooms are comfortable enough, the 'nautical' theme works surprisingly well, but they could do with better cleaning in the rooms and also the public areas, nothing too bad, just not as good as it probably should be. Breakfast is a simple buffet style - muesli, breads, meats, cheeses, cooked bacon and scrambled egg, and good coffee and juices. There was plenty of it and it tasted good. The breakfast room is a bit small for the size of hotel, so as others have commented I can imagine it would get full on a busy day, but we had no problems getting a table on both days of our stay. Motala itself is a charming town, it's lovely to walk along the canal between the lakes, there is a good selection of places to eat, and the motor museum (included with the hotel as they're owned by the same people) was a great place to spend an hour or so. With a good breakfast included, we thought this was an excellent value for money hotel, just don't expect a super modern hotel and go with its' charms!

Really nice hotel! Lovely staff as well.

“The hotel left a good impression.”

The hotel was in a good location in the city center. The interior had an exciting ship theme. Our room was well cleaned. The wall surfaces in the interior also seemed new and clean. A funny detail: the toilet had two toilet seats. Hotel guests received free tickets to the motor museum

“Ok, but not super”

The location is excellent. Staff at reception was friendly and helpful. Good breakfast.

“Only if no other choices”

Free entrance to Motor museum

A museum visit included, the marine decorated style, comfortable

We had a small window looking on a park place, the high of road from the park place was nearly the window so you can not open the window in the night is not safety, the cars are parked on the other site of the window. We asked the reception it is a dog room. We had indeed a dog.
