Sjömarken Vacations from $1,106

Good location in town but our room was a bit odd with a cartoon character on the wall and a window into the bathroom. I love my husband but I don't want to watch him use toilet! The bed looked to be custom made but it meant there was a 2"gap between the mattresses and people had clearly dropped coffee here as the mattress was stained. It's a shame, nice hotel in good location but lacks attention to detail.

I loved my stay here on a beautiful summer day. Great place for walks, view nature, gorgeous views of the lake Vättern. The breakfast was amazing and I took the opportunity to hike down to the lake for a dip. GORGEOUS

Great dinner and breakfast and wine list The spa was great and 1st class

Pros- the location is fantastic - directly across the central station for train and bus. Nordstan Mall is 100m away. Right in the heart of the city. Can't to much better than this. -The breakfast was simply outstanding - especially the overnight oatmeal topped with turkeyish yogurt, their berry compote and sunflower seeds.. YUM! - The beds were very comfortable, slept well. The room itself was in the older section on the hotel, pleasant enough but not very bright - somber atmosphere. Cons - Our bedroom was poorly lite. One of the ceiling bulb was out. No direct lighting at the desk to write in my journal. The air exchange vent in the shower stall made a constant noise like when the toilet tank is filling up with water. - First time ever staying at a hotel where the guests have to pay to use their swimming pool and sauna. I realize that it's like a spa, and one would expect to pay for services like a massage or any other form of treatment...but for the pool? -Lastly, the Expedia site on which I booked this hotel has two entries - one as laundry and dry cleaning services, the other as having a laundry facility which would indicate that washing and drying machines are available for guests, usually at a cost. This was one of the main reasons why I chooses this hotel, except it doesn't. We had already been traveling for a week, so it would have been nice to have our clothes washed when living out of our backpacks, without having to pay an arm and a leg for laundry services.
