Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a brief yet memorable stay at the hotel, primarily enjoying the stunning views of the lake and the unique connection to the motor museum. The rooms were decent but could use some updates, and while the breakfast had its ups and downs, the cozy atmosphere made up for it. The location right by the harbor is fantastic, allowing easy access to the museum and other local attractions.
I had a delightful time at this hotel, especially because of its unique in-house Motor Museum that made my stay truly special. The rooms were pristine and located right on the waterfront, providing a lovely atmosphere. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, particularly during off-peak hours, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for motor enthusiasts and anyone keen to explore the area.
I had an interesting stay at this unique hotel, conveniently located near the waterfront and directly connected to a fascinating motor museum. The friendly staff and clean environment were highlights for me. However, the dining options left much to be desired, and the room I initially got wasn't properly cleaned, which was disappointing. Although it has a charming atmosphere, there are areas that definitely need improvement.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The location by the waterfront is truly stunning, and the rooms are generally clean and cozy with great views. However, the service needs improvement, particularly with housecleaning, as we encountered some issues with cleanliness during our visit. The dining experience left much to be desired; the options were limited and did not meet expectations. Overall, while there are notable highlights, some areas require attention before I could wholeheartedly recommend this place.
The hotel offers a unique experience with its in-house museum featuring cars and antiques, which I found absolutely delightful. The rooms are cozy and nicely decorated, though cleanliness could use some improvement as my first room was not properly cleaned. While the location by the Motala harbour is great, and the staff is friendly, the dining options are limited and could be better. Overall, it's a nice stopover but needs some refinements.
