    Beachfront bliss with waterfront dining and ocean views, plus easy access to scuba diving and bicycle adventures.
"We stayed here in September 2025. I loved the historical character of the place. We had a water view, which was amazing. However, our neighbor had his radio/tv up so loud. You could hear it from the hall. We would not have been able to sleep. Both we and the hotel knocked on the door, but no one every answered. So they moved us that night. When we went back the next morning to get the rest of our things out of the original room, the tv/radio was still that loud. To be honest, I am surprised...

"This was one of the nicest hotels I've been in and we travel a LOT. So many little things they've perfected. Breakfast was fantastic and they didn't rush anyone which we see in many other Swedish hotel breakfasts. Some may not like the tiny wee showers. Next time we'll book a hot tub! So close to centrum and the castle. "
