"The staff were very friendly and understanding to us as non-Swedes there for Midsommar. Rooms were clean, plenty of dishes, washing machine worked (no dryer, line dry); shower good quality though a little tight on space; dishwasher and fridge worked very well. We had a miscommunication about the need to "book" a breakfast spot when breakfast is an option, but they quickly accommodated us and we were grateful. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again."
