호텔 스칸센(Hotel Skansen)

Fantastic location,close to the water, and amenities, plus a few good restaurants. Renovations are needed, The staff could be more welcoming. I can’t say what the spa is like because we didn’t feel like spending more money when we weren’t very impressed with what we received with our booking

The room and spa was fine. A bit on the pricy side for what you get, but overall not bad. What ruined the entire weekend was the food. Waiting an hour for a tiny portion with absolutely zero spices is not okay. When we complained they offered us a free dessert, so service staff was good at least, but the food was horrible. This went full circle at breakfast when the scrambled eggs didn’t even have salt on them. Tip for anyone going there is to eat somewhere else. Anywhere else. Will not go there again.

Our party of 5 visited the restaurant for the autumn buffet for lunch. The food was good but the service destroyed the experience. The hostess showed us to the table and said nothing more. We tried to get attention to order drinks but were ignored. When we finally got someone’s attention they came over and said it looks like you want something. We asked if we could have some water to start with. We were then ignored and no one came back to ask if we wanted anything else to drink . The waiter cleared our plates and dropped food on the floor and just left it. We ended cleaning g it up so no one would slip on it. When it came time for dessert we asked a question about one of the desserts and received a very curt and rude reply . Finally giving up we went to pay. We were asked what we had to drink, a bit rich as we were never asked . I told the lady this but she just ignored it. In the end we were charged 19 sek for tap water . What could have been a nice experience with a different review ended with all of us saying we wouldn’t return. Really 19 sek for one caraf of water for a 259 pp sek buffet?

Excellent dining and service. Good breakfast. Nice and tidy room with comfy.beds.

We took a trip to Öland, an island on the east coast of Sweden. We booked two rooms in this hotel for four people. Our rooms were in the Spa area of the hotel which is in the annexe. Rooms were average size. Beds were a little uncomfortable, that -roll together in the middle- problem, but pillows were good. This is a hotel very proud of its whiskey range and offers whiskey tastings. It has a very extensive whiskey selection. As it is situated on the harbour side it is very noisy in the morning with the seagulls squawking, even closing the windows didn’t help. So bring ear plugs! We ate one night in the hotel. We had a starter of garlic bread, a beetroot carpaccio and the shrimp. Two of us had lamb and two had steak. For dessert we had the terrine which was basically a brownie and the panna cotta. The terrine was dry, a bit disappointing. But overall it was a very good meal, sitting outside on the veranda enjoying the evening sunset. We would gladly have eaten there again. The breakfast was good. There was a good selection to choose from, even Swedish meatballs. My only gripe was that there was an extra charge for lattes/cappuccinos. Otherwise it was coffee from a machine. I’ve had worse! We would probably stay here again, just the early morning seagulls are an issue. But if not, we would certainly eat there again.

OK, nothing that was 4 star except the location. Hotell lives on the past reputation. Food was good, well seasoned. Rooms was mwah. Beds could be updated, as all the Electric on the rooms. , All and all its a 3 star hotell, not more. An expensive 3 star hotell.

With a friendly welcome and great staff, it felt harmonious and relaxing to visit Hotel Skansen. Getting a friendly welcome for dogs both in the room and to have them with you at dinner gives an extra plus. We will definitely be back. /Pernilla

Really nice cozy hotel with beautiful nice spa, high standard rooms, whiskey collection and bar..The hotel is located close to the sea with nice scenery of the bridge to the island.and to nearby local shops.

The room was very small and extremely hot, the provided fan did little to help us cool down. We would get a much better room for the same price on any other hotel we've stayed the night. The spa area shouldn't be called a spa area with only 2 saunas, a jacuzzi and a small pool. Inside the relax it's a lot of sounds from the pool that makes it hard to relax also. We didn't try the food because of the mixed reviews and the price so opinion there. the included breakfast though was superb, a little bit of everything but not lacking in my opinion. The bread supposedly came from a local baker which was amazing. Overall would not recommend.
