Hotel berhampiran Passage Linköping art gallery, Linkoping

What an awesome hotel in a city with old boring traditional hotels. And hotel is a great new asset to the city. Restaurant is hip and great value for money. Rooms are small but got all u need and feels more spacious than the sqm u get! Don't miss the gym which is much better than many hotel gyms!

Although it is supposed to be ”central”, it does requires from a quarter to twenty minutes walk to reach the very central part of town. Still, of course, it is not in the outskirts. The hotel is spacious and has plenty of rooms to offer in different wings. The reception is welcoming and the staff professional and friendly. The room I had was perfect size, with all the needed essentials. A good desk, an armchair, space for jackets, the bag. From what I remember the wardrobe was very essential and didn't have much of shelves. I suppose they do not expect people to stay too long. The bathroom was of a decent size, with good space and surfaces and all I needed for a shower, including an hair dryer. The bed was comfortable, but the main problem was that the room lacked AC. The first night I didn't realize that, as I did hear some ”mechanical ventilation” in the room (which turned out to be the bathroom one only) and it got warm very quickly. Luckily the windows can be open, but it makes the temperature very uneven and maybe in the coldest nights it is not the best solution. It was also quite disturbing with the door for the corridor quite close to my room, slamming heavily. The breakfast was the high point - I could spot a broad selection of food, although more nordic oriented. I would have appreciated a touch of organic food, if not local, more interesting tea and nicer juices. They seem very industrial and some lack taste. The bread was instead fresh and genuine. It could be quite crowded during breakfast time, but not an impossible situation to solve. I noticed though that my room and the area around the elevantors, felt a bit outdated, torn. My room was definitely very nicely cleaned (although it didn't get clean during my stay) but it was very standard in the quality of the materials and the appearance. Alltogether a perfectly ok stay. The price was not too high, but definitely not on the cheapest side either, but I think reasonable for the location and the quality.

Booked this place on a whim mainly for the name, as massive fans of Fawlty Towers. Arrived to a fantastic and sublime hotel. The interior when you enter is part ******* House and part 1920s classic hotel in all the good ways. There’s cool quotes on the walls and funky pictures and portraits. There’s a knight in shining Armor literally in the stairs. Frankly at check in I was already intrigued. Once we got our room (we got the 4 person room which I think there’s only one of) we opened the door and both my kids squealed with delight and glee as they both were swept away by the grandiose interior, with two separate double bedrooms connected by a doorway, and through one of the rooms there was a snag staircase leading to the best bathroom I’ve seen. It has starry lights in the ceiling, a lovely shower and a little old chair to just chill in whilst sitting around in the loo. When we finally went to bed the beds were “The best we’ve ever slept in” according to wife and kids. Really comfy and well made. I’m also very pleased with the tv having a pairing setting so you can cast from your devices to so you can watch all your shows and downloaded Netflix series. Big win. In terms of location, it is by a big road so if you keep the windows open you may get some noise, though I didn’t particularly notice it. No offense to Linköping intended, but by 10PM I’d say it was pretty calm and not some kind of metropolitan Hellscape. It’s worth it since the hotel is right by the station AND only a 5 minute walk to the center of town and 9 minutes to the cathedral and called. Overall, I booked this on a whim and ended up finding a gem I really hope to visit again.

Great located hotel close to city centre. Overall happy with the stay, but the wifi is terrible, some furnitures are starting to be ready to be replaced. The cleaning could also be a bit better, but its not critical bad.

Do you remember those trips by bus witt football/volleyball/ice hockey team to small cities by bus and where you spent the nights then? This place has those vibes even though the standard is naturally higher than back then. There are several plusses and minuses some of which might be minuses and plusses to some one else. Plusses: Big parking space Spacious room (we had 2 bedrooms in one, the other room 2 bunk beds ie family on 6 would fit), also bathroom in good size and in good shape. Clean and very quiet Enough items in the breakfast preorder Good communication even though no reception already before arriving to the hotel and a number to call if any problems (where they also switfly answer the call). Beds in the adults room very comfy. Temperature was ok. Codes worked for doors unexpectedly well. Minuses: No traditional breakfast, needs to be preordered and comsumed in the room or small breakfast room. The other room had no windows, maybe bit dark for some one (it’s an old vault). Hotel kinda middle of nowhere, nothing nearby and even though the building is nice, the gravel parking lot in front of the hotel not too pretty. Something new being built next to hotel, probably quite noisy on weekdays. No elevator or traditional reception. Temperature can’t be changed. Parking costs also for hotel quests. …and couple of additional points; earliest check-in at 5 pm (!) and leave by 11 am. Now, five pm….6 hours for the hotel to clean up the few rooms there are…this is just too late. 3 pm is nowadays the norm, why on earth at 5pm? I would imagine many travellers have small town like Linköping as one night stop and will appreciate the chance of having shower etc after a long drive before late afteenoon. The breakfast room is small, but there is a small note in one of the tables saying there’s more space on the upper floor, it would be good to mention this somehere else as well. I didnt take notice and we had breakfast in the room since the breakfast room was filled with other guests. Also some environment concious person would have objections to the breakfast delivered to fridge in many many plastic small cups (I did not find recycling for plastic). Take note when you leave the room, you need the code to lock the door also when leaving the room. Check the address, bit tricky to find the exact buildind of the hotel (many similar looking buildings near to each other). All in all, this hotel suited the purpose we needed at decent price, but you need to consider if it’s for you or if something in the ”city” would suit better.

Assolutamente soddisfatti. Appartamento spazioso e pulito, dotato di ogni necessità. Posizione comoda, parcheggio privato (attenzione se fanno qualche evento all'arena perchè i posti potrebbero scarseggiare). Riceverete istruzioni via messaggio con i codici della struttura e dell'appartamento. Molto funzionale, ci siamo trovati bene.

Having previously stayed here in smaller rooms, my whole perception of the entire place changed now when we got a really nice ”junior suite” on the corner of the top floor. It felt spacious, stylish and somewhat high-end, with an ambundance of natural daylight from many large windows. We also got a really nice and generous welcome amenity. That being said, the room wasn’t perfect. Several towels had (other people’s) hair on them, the bathroom wasn’t exactly sparklig clean, and the room had two single beds put together rather than a true king size, but I digress. The Box is a pretty good hotel and I would highly recommend splurging for a larger room, which makes it a really good place to stay in Linköping :)
