- We really like the location on the water. The room is big, comfortable and modern with direct access to the pier. Just over the street you have also swimming spot.
- Wonderful location, very nice rooms. Friendly staff. We had reserved parking space with charging option which was very convenient. Had great dinner in the restaurant enjoying a lovely view. Breakfast is also amazing. We loved our stay.
- Rooms were spacious clean and comfortable. View was gorgeous. Breakfast was delicious and offered a good selection. Parking with free charging was very convenient. Several great restaurants in walkable distance.
- We stayed in a beautifully designed apartment with great attention to detail, offering plenty of space for four people. Fully equipped with a large kitchen and laundry facilities, it had everything we needed. The panoramic water views and wraparound terrace were simply stunning. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was delicious. Overall, a truly wonderful holiday experience.
- Lovely room overlooking the water. Coffee and tea available in hallway
Negative reviews
- Breakfast was quite busy and you had to wait for some items to be filled again for rather long time.
- We were disappointed when we learned on arrival that the spa is closed over the summer. This information was not clearly provided in the listing.
- The kitchen utensils were not included in the apartment and had to be rented separately for an additional fee.
- Breakfast was unfortunately a big disappointment. Not a big variety to choose from at all. One would expect more for the standard of the hotel.
- Parking is limited and is paid separately. Do book in advance.

- The view , Pool / spa area and a super Dinner & breakfast
- The spa is very nice and relaxing. Not crowded! Wonderfull breakfast on the terrace close to the sea and with amazing sea view. Room was comfortable and good to have drinks ands Snacks in the room. Nice surroundings for walking and lots of boats around to see and maybe also to hire. Very good price and a lot cheaper than other similar offerts.

- Great facilities (pool, sauna, jacuzzi), nice restaurant, good location close to the ferry terminal, great view from the rooms
Negative reviews
- Rooms Are a Bit dated
- During our stay, we did not see that they change water in pools. In the bedroom bathroom, they forgot to remove some hair on the shower drainage. The hotel can maybe provide dental kits, bathrobes, slippers and lotion in the rooms.
- Long walk into town. Evening meal disappointing, overrated and over priced .Serving staff disorganised and disinterested. Maybe we caught the restaurant on a bad day as it has good reviews.
- Rooms and hotel a bit older and could be renovated
- It is overpriced

- The friendly staff and facilities
- Amazing staff everyone was so nice and helpful.super clean!very spacious room with good bath products,it even has body lotion.the spa was very nice and not super busy.the location is amazing and there are so many places to explore and things to do.the restaurant is also amazing albeit on the pricier side.breakfast had absolutely everything.
- Buffet breakfast was great. Staff all very nice. Nice relaxing spa experience even though it’s too cold to swim in the summer, it’s still overall very good.
- Excellent location, nearby Västervik. Room with all what you need and seaview. Great wellness with swimmingpools and hottubs. Great floating sauna on the water and even indoor. Friendly reception and possibility to borrow bikes for free.
- Overall the ambiance, location, and cleanliness were great.
Negative reviews
- It was always kind of noisy and there was some kind of construction.also no hair drier in the room which i think at that price range should be included and no kind of amenity kit.Also the free hotel bikes were not in the best condition.
- An old lady was about to die from choking on a piece of meat that obstructed her airways. The people and staff were panicked; they couldn't do anything. I saved her life with the Heimlich Maneuvers, but I didn't get any appreciation from the hotel, not even a single letter.
- Jag har bott många gånger tidigare på hotellet och då har spa ingått. Man har kunnat gå en sväng till spa både på kvällen och morgonen. Nu hade det tillkommit en avgift och en tidsbegränsning i spa. Jag tycker inte att den förändringen framkom tydligt vid bokning, och även om det är ett jättefint hotell kommer jag inte att återkomma eftersom det blir för stor kostnad att få tid i spa båda dagarna.
- Wir hatten ein Problem mit unserer Klimaanlage und mussten in der Nacht den Raum wechseln. Die Preise im Restaurant sind gesalzen.
- Das Badezimmer könnte renoviert werden, teilweise war es etwas staubig im Zimmer.

Negative reviews
- The only thin I did not like was the pancakes. Cold, tasteless. Not even cream and strawberry jam could help
- Paid parking was a little to much, but it was at the location, not garaged.
- Our room was in the building immediately off the dining courtyard so had to walk through the customers (and it was busy) to get to our room. The room was very small and being on ground floor heard the footsteps of those above.
- The rooms interior, signs of wear off and scratches. basic amenities not present for the expected value.

Negative reviews
- On the description it states that pets are allowed, but they are not.
- Warm room despite a special fan in the room.
- Parking on site full. Bedroom window opened onto restaurant/function room. Although not in use it was odd.
- Breakfast room was too small and difficult to find a table. One morning difficult to get into the breakfast room as food and drink all very close together causing a queue. Bread rolls not always refilled
- Room was small and there is practically no air conditioning (and the ventilation in the room was not that effective either. We had a a bit wet motorcycle gear in the room, and that made the air really humid. No possibility to open a window didn't help.

Negative reviews
- In the standard/basic suite the ventilation was somewhat poor, I can imagine if it had been a hot day the rooms would have been pretty umcomfortable Also, the suite has a dining table , but no cutlery and the kitchen is boarded over (no issue in it self as they were not lsited eithwr, but the amenities are maybe a little lacking considering the space. The cleanliness was only ok.
- Restaurant staff not really up to standards clearly summer extras
- Sanslöst dyrt att äta med barn i restaurangen. Betalade 236 kr för 2 luncher till barn där den ena endast skulle äta lite pommes (som fanns på buffén).
- Standardlägenheterna behöver rustas upp.
- Saknade AC.

- Siisti ja tilava huone. Hyvä aamiainen. Hyvä pysäköintialue.
- Das Frühstück war ausreichend. Nichts besonderes. Das einchecken war per PIN die wir per Mobilphone erhielten. War eigentlich ungewöhnlich, hat aber gut funktioniert. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, WiFi war sehr gut.
Negative reviews
- Facilities are functional but no wow effect on anything.
- Badrum behöver renoveras
- Hade hund med mig och det var väldigt mörkt i närmaste omgivningen utomhus, så kändes lite otryggt att rasta hunden på kvällen. Sedan står det på hemsidan att hund kostar 100 kr per dygn, så det behöver uppdateras. Jag saknade en stor spegel på rummet, nu bara spegel i badrummet.
- Upplever dålig ventilation på rummet. Golvfläkt var inte tillräckligt. Ventilationen bör ses över.
- Att det var väldigt halt i duschen vi fick köpa en halkmatta för att kunna duscha utan att halka

- Great play ground and easy för the kids
- There was a lot of entertainment and toys for kids, making life easy for families. Cinema, play room and other things. Playground and pool just around the corner. There is even an area with microwave and fridge. All staff members were lovely and super helpful. The outside of the hotel looks a bit old but on the inside it is fresh and cosy. Plenty of easy free parking.
- The staff managed our requests extremely well. We had a great stay
- Excellent breakfast! Nice with closeby swimming.
- Clean and fully equipped
Negative reviews
- Shame the pool was not open
- Dinner buffet is disappointing; staff unfriendly
- A very small thing: the coffee on the breakfast was a bit weak
- This is in no way a 4 stars hotel. We and other guests had issues with the cooling system and the rooms were too cold. The reception told us that they can't do anything, provided us with duck tape and told us to fix a pillow case with duck tape on the ventilator system… i would expect this service in a 1 star motel, not in a 4 star. Also the quality of breakfast ingredients is extremely low. Yet, the room price is higher than what we paid in gamla stan in stockholm in the same period. Avoid if you can.
- Not able to pay with cash anywhere was a miss for me even if electronic payments are everywhere i expect cash to be used at an extent
