“The walk to the Castle gets better as you get closer”
Vadstena is a very traditional STF Vandrarhem. Pay extra if you don't bring your own sheets. But the price is right. A great place to mingle with other travelers. The guest kitchen is well equiped with 2 sets of stoves, sinks and fridges. We came just after high season so they had stopped serving breakfast. The tourist attractions, restaurants and grocery store are within a comfortable walk. The facility used to be an old people's home, so is designed with nice common spaces including a porch for sitting and some apple trees to lay under in summer. Vadstena has an important story to tell about Vasa and the reformation. Some of the village and many buildings are renovated from the middle ages. The lake setting is stunning. Great place to start without the frills and high price of most lodging

“Perfect for a quick overnight but probably just as good when you stay longer.”
It's just a couple of minutes walk to the water and very central location. Rooms were clean, breakfast could be eaten in the lovely garden, the porch or indoor. Nice "standard" breakfast. Personell was really polite and happy which made us happy too:-) We were only there as the trip home was a bit far in one go, so for us it was literally just a bed and breakfast.
