The trästubba we stay in were magical, perfect for family trip especially for Swedish mid summer celebrations. The light in the morning and approaching sunset were amazing! Highly recommended.👍 Nearby activity of Götekanel bike trip or boat trip are also fun to do with open landscape that look like painting . Will definitely visit again .

Litt godt ut på dato, typisk sommerhotel. Frokost var ok, men ikke noe mer. Renhold på rommet var ikke bra. Lå hårstrikk under skrivepulten når vi kom og den lå der fremdeles når vi dro etter to dager.

Das Hotel ist sehr schön gelegen. Die Ruhe am Kanal war einzigartig. Im Hotel fühlte man sich aber nicht als Gast. Das Personal war mit sich selbst beschäftigt, das Konzept ist darauf ausgelegt, dass der Gast sich selbst verwaltet. Man könnte aus diesem Haus ein Juwel machen. Schade... Eine gewendelte Metalltreppe bringt Lärm in die Zimmer. Das Frühstück war gut, leider waren die warmen Speisen fast kalt.

Veldig fint og rent på Norrqvarn hotel, et rypiskmsommerhotell i nydelige omgivelser. Noe spartansk frokost og hotellet er best i fint vær hvor uteområdene kan benyttes. Innvendig er det ingen gode stoler å sitte i eller loungemiljø. Perfekt sted for å rusle eller sykle langs Gøtakanalen. Bra kjøkken!

Ödsligt på kvällen.

Hotellet var tomt när jag kom (vid ca 17:30). Fick checka in själv (mitt nyckelkort låg framme, plus en karta där jag kunde se var rummen låg.) Lite svårt att hitta rummet och lite ödslig känsla. Inga människor syntes till alls. Men rummet var finare än väntat och hade utsikt över kanalen och badrummet var stort. På morgonen visade det sig faktiskt finnas folk i hotellet, och skapligt många åt frukost. Dock en väldigt basic frukost. Jag saknade müsli t.ex.

Att inte bli serverad vin när man äter middag är ett stort Minus! I rumsbeskrivningen borde det framgå hur många kvadratmeter rummet är. Tror inte vi bor på Norrqvarn fler ggr.
