clean, beautifull place. Affordable and in an amazing place. Really really beautifull.

Anna

Quiet, picturesque location, the buildings have been renovated with much love and care, we had a little apartment with a big kitchen and beautful old tiled stoves (not working anymore, but a sight to see), big garden with picnic tables, you can go swimming in the little lake/river, good breakfast, private parking, restaurants in walking distance in the little village, we were there at the end of the season, so it was not crowded or noisy, a wonderful place to stay, if you want something different, too bad we only had one night, we would have liked to stay longer.

Quiet, picturesque location in a basic but beautiful room.. Staff couldn't be more helpful, thank you Emma. Bike hire was simple to organise. Room had very good catering facilities (even a dishwasher). Breakfast catering was more than we expected given we were the only people staying.

The location is simply great. Close to the Göterkanal with a huge green area directly at the hostel, where you can enjoy your lunch oder dinner. Nice kitchen to prepare your food. Opportunities to rent bikes and canoes. Also the cafe serves delicious cakes and a great cofe.

Die Grünlage zwischen Motala Ström und Götakanal ist beeindruckend, Wir wohnten in einem alten schwedischen Holzhaus in einer Ferienwohnung. Im gleichen Haus der intime Frühstücksraum mit gutem Frühstück. Wir kamen um 18:45 Uhr an, außerhalb der Rezeptionszeit. Es wurde uns vor Ort telefonisch gesagt, wo der Zimmerschlüssel deponiert wurde.

“Fabulous!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
The location was absolutely beautiful. On one side the Gota-canal and on the other side the lake were you can have a nice swim. The staff (mother and daughter) were so nice and helpful. The breakfast good and you can sit inside or outside in the lovely garden. They rent bikes witch is a good opportunity for biking to Berg where you can visit the flight of locks in the canal down to the lake. The bike-trip is very nice along the tree-lined canal! A beauty! And there a more cities nearby to visit like Motala, Vadstena en Linnkopping. The rooms are good, especially the apartments. Remember: it's not a 4 or 5 star hotel: it is a hoste ! But is is good! If you like a comfortable stay: the rooms without own wc or bathroom are small and in our opinion good for a one-night stay. If you stay longer than try to book for the somewhat bigger or an apartment. And if you are a party (for example a family) they have enough opportunities to make your stay comfortable by sharing apartments. Go there!

“Picturesque location, wonderful place to stay, if you like something different”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
You have to clean the rooms yourself upon departure and I am not sure how thoroughly people do that. The place was clean and looked fine when we arrived, but I just didn't like the idea. It is however very common in Sweden, just like the fact that you have to pay extra for bed linnen and towels and have to put the sheets on your bed yourself.

Other facilities (eg cafe)not really open as it was too early in the season. Paying extra for bed linen hire, include it in an increased room rate.
