Nice ambience in cozy Båstad

The hotel offers a charming atmosphere in the heart of Båstad. The interior is well-designed, with plenty of seating areas and fireplaces, creating a relaxing environment. The rooftop pool and bar area are particularly appealing and provide a great spot to unwind. One unique aspect is the constant flow of guests in robes, moving between the spa and the outdoor baths, which adds to the relaxed vibe. The room itself had some quirks. The sink is located outside the bathroom, which can be inconvenient, especially at night. The rooms are small but quiet, with open wardrobes and minimal storage. The bed felt narrow and short, though we’re accustomed to a king-size at home, so this may be personal preference. Both the pillows and the bathroom towels were surprisingly small, which detracted slightly from the experience. Breakfast is served in a spacious restaurant with beautiful views. While the spread isn’t the largest we’ve encountered, it covers all the essentials and maintains a good quality. Overall, despite a few imperfections, the hotel delivers a high standard, particularly for a Swedish property, and remains one of the better options available.

Bra hotell med en nackdel

Bra hotell med en STOR nackdel på sommaren och det är att det spelas musik fram till ca0300 för alla partysugna , trots stängda fönster tränger basen igenom och det är svårt att sova. Så det blir inga fler sommarövernattningar här, kommer tillbaka utanför säsong.

Rummen behöver uppfräschning

Hotel Skansen behöver rycka upp sig. Hotellrummen har alltid varit små men nu börjar det även bli lite bedagat. Ingen ac, minibaren fungerade inte (ingen kyla), flimrande spotlights i badrummet, hårfön från medeltiden… Gemensamma ytor på hotellet är fortfarande väldigt fina och trevliga och frukosten innehåller mycket och är god.

Poor service at the hotel restaurant

The food at the hotel restaurant was good but the service was really bad. 30 min to get water and bread.60 min to get the food. I was compencated by a glass of Wine but it didnt help the experience despite the fact that the nice Italian Waiter tried to speed up his colleagues.
