Very good stay at Sjotorp

The room is a bit small and lacks some basics such as wardrobe and kitchen utensils to cook (this you will get from the owner). However, the owners outweights this with an amazing breakfast and service. The veranda is also a big plus! I would happily go back

Bra lÀge - helt ok stÀlle

Helt ok för en natts sömn. Rummen ligger i samma hus som Sjötorps livs och dÀr checkar man in samt hÀmtar sin frukostbricka. Utsikt över kanalen som det stÄr pÄ hotels.com för vissa rum stÀmmer egentligen inte, du ser kanalbron frÄn rummen men den verkliga utsikten Àr antingen landsvÀgen eller en innergÄrd. Rummet var helt ok, enda problemet ett felbyggt badrum vilket gjorde golvet genomblött nÀr man duschade. VÀnliga mÀnniskor i butiken och man gjorde verkligen allt för att gÀsterna skall trivas, plus ocksÄ för en hÀrlig terass med utemöbler och ett bra wifi, gratis och snabbt. VÀl fungerande kylskÄp, tvÄ kokplattor och enkel köksutrustning fanns ocksÄ tillgÀngligt. Dessutom fri parkering StÀllet Àr lite slitet och skulle mÄ bra av lite uppfrÀschning, men överlag en helt ok övernattning för ett rimligt pris. LÀget Àr perfekt (bortsett frÄn utsikten), nÀra kanalen och slussarna och de restauranger, butiker och caféer som ligger i anslutning till den.
