Hotels near Museum of Östergötland, Linkoping

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.

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.

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!

Still good, the buffet is also great. The only drawback is that it is on the other side of the river, which is considered a suburb, but the city is very small, and it only takes three to five minutes to walk.

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.

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.

The front desk was non-existent, there was no desire to help or make our stay pleasant. Every time we tried to get help we were told ”I don't know what you want me to do” and they apologized. Hair in the towel. The shower didn't work burned us. Service fee of SEK 80 regardless of what you wanted delivered to the room, the first time ever. The receptionist thought we could book a more expensive hotel if we wanted room service (this is a 4 star hotel). The breakfast plates on the buffet were replaced with smaller plates. No mini bar or fridge, no toiletries. A very suspicious white spot on the bedspread. When we were about to check out, the receptionist refused to ask how our stay was, instead telling us how amazing the breakfast was and asking rhetorical questions about the breakfast and the spa. We were in contact with 4 different receptionists but the same thing applied to all of them, they don't seem to want to work there. The hotel wants you to serve yourself, it’s even written on the walls.
