Knappt godkänt boende
Bodde på vandrarhemmet. Det första vi möttes av var ett ostädat rum med gamla lakan och damm under sängarna. Lövtunna väggar, dvs EXTREMT lyhört. Vi hade dock tur med skötsamma grannar. Rummet luktade illa och det gick inte att öppna fönstret. Noll ventilation. På morgonen gick vi till hotelldelen för att äta frukost. Även detta en besvikelse. Äggröran innehöll minimalt med ägg och var utblandad med något, mjöl? Generellt sett deppig frukost och och stökig matsal (då reste vi ändå själva med 3 barn under 5 år). Försök hitta ett annat ställe att övernatta på är mitt råd!

Good facilities and breakfast
We stayed at the hostel. It worked well for us for two days visit in Astrid Lindgrens world. Not fancy in any way, but everything worked. Shared areas a bit crowded, but then again we didn’t hang out inside. The outdoor areas are great. For small fees you can enter pool or play mini golf. We enjoyed both offers. We also had breakfast buffet, which was really great. The restaurant service at evening was quite slow and more smiley service would have been welcome. The a la carte dish with pepper sauce was over spiced with pepper. But I am sure it was just bad luck. Only disadvantage is bad public transport links to Astrid Lindgrens world. The buses are not regular and ended up walking 45 minutes each way to the park.

Vær obs på at du må vaske rommet selv, alle dører knirker, det er veldig lytt, det går ikke å åpne vinduet for frisk luft og du kan ikke justere ventilasjon selv.

Hyvä sijainti lähellä Astrid Lindgrenin maailmaa
Varasimme 4hengen huoneen hostellista yhdeksi yöksi, kun kävimme Astrid Lindgrenin maailmassa. Varasin huoneen vain viikkoa ennen, joten oli vain 1 huone jäljellä. Hostelli on hotellin yhteydessä ja sijaintia voin suositella etenkin lapsiperheille! Astrid Lindgrenin maailma on noin 4km päässä ja hotellin vieressä on uimapaikka (maksaa erikseen, esim 390kr koko perhe/koko lomailun ajan!) ja etenkin lapset nauttivat siitä kovasti. Hostelli itsessään oli ihan ok, huone perussiisti, mutta patjat, peitot ja tyynyt vähän kulahtaneita. Meillä oli omat petivaatteet mukana. Ostimme myös hotelliaamupalan, joka oli monipuolinen mutta ensi kerralla valmistaisin itse aamupalan hostellin keittiössä. Mutta loppujen lopuksi voin lämpimästi suositella tätä paikkaa, jos menee Astrid Lindgrenin maailmaan.

Vi bodde på Vandrarhemmet som var väldigt trevligt! Bra sängar, rena utrymmen och lagom stort. Vi åt på hotellets restaurang på kvällen, maten var helt okej men service var näst intill obefintlig. Tror dock det berodde på att det var mycket ”sommarpersonal” mitt i semestern.

Trevliga personal och fint hotel
Trevliga personal. Rummet var rent och även kök, matsal och toaletten var rena och i ordning. Mina barn tyckte att det var mysigt att äta frukost och middag i matsalen medans de tittade på barn program på TV. Poolen som ligger så nära vid hotellet är en plus också för att mina barn älskar att bada. Det tog ungefär 5 minuter för oss också att ta bil till Astrid Lindgren värd. Det enda som vi kan klaga på att väggarna är dåligt isolerad eftersom vi hörde vår grannar tydligt när de pratade annars allting var bra och jag kan rekommendera till andra.

Övernattning
Jag skulle bara ha ett ställe att sova, det funkade bra. Det var lite oväsen från andra gäster som inte hade samma behov för att sova mitt i natten och rummet är inte så väl ljudisolerat som jag skulle vilja, men jag gick upp och sa åt dem, sen gick jag och la mig igen. Jag åt kvällsmat på restaurangen och det var riktigt gott.

Für eine Nacht okay…
Die Toiletten und Duschen waren sehr sauber, die Zimmer auch. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein, was okay ist für 1-2 Nächte. Die Betten waren allerdings eine Katastrophe. Unser Hochbett hat gequietscht und die Matratzen waren durchgelegen. Außerdem ist es sehr hellhörig, man hört jedes Wort und jeden Schritt der Zimmernachbarn. Wer da empfindlich ist sollte das Hostel besser meiden.
