Hotels near Ikea - Linkoping, Linkoping

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.

The family room, but the hotel room is still small, the bathroom is also small, and the facilities are average. You can park temporarily at the hotel entrance, and then you have to go around to the back of the hotel to enter the underground parking lot. It should be possible to enter with a credit card. I used the hotel room key card to open the parking lot door. Later, when I went out, I was worried about not being able to get out. I asked people that I didn't need to swipe my card when I went out. Standard Western breakfast. The hotel is quaint. It seems that there are many tourists who travel with families outside Sweden to stay with children.

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.

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.

Do you remember those trips by bus witt football/volleyball/ice hockey team to small cities by bus and where you spent the nights then? This place has those vibes even though the standard is naturally higher than back then. There are several plusses and minuses some of which might be minuses and plusses to some one else. Plusses: Big parking space Spacious room (we had 2 bedrooms in one, the other room 2 bunk beds ie family on 6 would fit), also bathroom in good size and in good shape. Clean and very quiet Enough items in the breakfast preorder Good communication even though no reception already before arriving to the hotel and a number to call if any problems (where they also switfly answer the call). Beds in the adults room very comfy. Temperature was ok. Codes worked for doors unexpectedly well. Minuses: No traditional breakfast, needs to be preordered and comsumed in the room or small breakfast room. The other room had no windows, maybe bit dark for some one (it’s an old vault). Hotel kinda middle of nowhere, nothing nearby and even though the building is nice, the gravel parking lot in front of the hotel not too pretty. Something new being built next to hotel, probably quite noisy on weekdays. No elevator or traditional reception. Temperature can’t be changed. Parking costs also for hotel quests. …and couple of additional points; earliest check-in at 5 pm (!) and leave by 11 am. Now, five pm….6 hours for the hotel to clean up the few rooms there are…this is just too late. 3 pm is nowadays the norm, why on earth at 5pm? I would imagine many travellers have small town like Linköping as one night stop and will appreciate the chance of having shower etc after a long drive before late afteenoon. The breakfast room is small, but there is a small note in one of the tables saying there’s more space on the upper floor, it would be good to mention this somehere else as well. I didnt take notice and we had breakfast in the room since the breakfast room was filled with other guests. Also some environment concious person would have objections to the breakfast delivered to fridge in many many plastic small cups (I did not find recycling for plastic). Take note when you leave the room, you need the code to lock the door also when leaving the room. Check the address, bit tricky to find the exact buildind of the hotel (many similar looking buildings near to each other). All in all, this hotel suited the purpose we needed at decent price, but you need to consider if it’s for you or if something in the ”city” would suit better.

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.
