Nice hotel just outside the city. Good for an overnight stay, with a good breakfast. Good rooms, but we could have used an electric kettle in the room so we could make coffee.

Very nice hotel located a bit on the outskirts of town towards Öland. About a 10-15 minute walk to town. It is nicely situated by the water. The rooms are not very large, but adequate for me as I was alone. The breakfast was good and had very nice freshly baked bread and porridge, delicious jams from Denmark. The staff was very friendly. I would gladly return to this hotel!
