Hotel berhampiran Slaka Kyrka, Linkoping

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 I noticed though that my room and the area around the elevantors, felt a bit outdated, torn.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.

If you are travelling with children, do not book here. Firstly this is not a childfriendly property. Nothing here to make your stay worth it. We only booked since most hotels required us to book two rooms. With 3 small kids this is not an option. We emailed ahead to ask about getting a spare bed for the 3rd child and were told this was not a problem. (see below. We got a small baby cot for a 10 year old) The windows are very very low and easy to open, with no security catches at all. Not a child friendly property. Extremely dangerous. Alerted staff who were not interested. Asked for a spare bed for our 10 year old and got a babycot. You have to remove your own rubbish. No service, breakfast or attempt to go above or beyond in any way. You have to pay for a cup of coffee at checkout. Tiny kitchenette, very uncomfortable sofa bed. Not at all what we expected when we booked. Overpriced. I will book a proper hotel next time. Everything was sparkling clean, but nothing exceptional at all. Don't expect anything extra. A sachet of Nescafe and a teabag provided. No bathroom amenities. Staff truly uninterested. Well since the hotel is mostly unmanned, it was beyond a joke.

We were not able to enter the hotel when we arrived on a Sunday after 6 pm, so we had to call the hotel to get access code to enter and self check in. Other than that, it was an homely experience staying for 7 nights, with its unique quaint and mysterious feel design. We particularly liked its free 24/7 coffee/ tea and mini croissants and accessibility to bus and train terminal.

Nice and friendly staff. We eat buffet in the evening which was very tasty and so was the breakfast. The room and bathroom was clean and well maintained. Some noise from the railway nearby during the evening but quite silent during the night.

The hotel is located next to a big route, meaning both noise and a drab view. The interior with industrial vibes is quite nice, though, but the standard room is a shoebox (17 m²). However, it was really easy to check in and out and access the room via their app. No need for room keys! The equipment of the room is minimalistic: no minibar, only hand soap and hair/body wash, no conditioner or body lotion, not to mention cotton pads, etc. In addition, one of our towels was unraveled. The breakfast with waffle and pancake buffet was tasty. The hotel has a spacious spa, but I would not recommend this place for a spa getaway; for me, it seems like an easygoing, family-style option for a short stay.
