We stayed just one night and ate dinner st the restaurant, which was very nice. The room was a bit tight on space though, and stuffy, we had to leave the window open at night to get air in the room.

Rooms quite small and bathroom quickly steams up as not well-ventilated. Spa not included in room price despite advertising as a spa hotel. However: Friendly check-in. Comfortable beds. Really nice breakfast. Free coffee/tea during day.

Great hotel with great food

Surprisingly great hotel in the middle of pretty much nowhere. Big downside: pool access is NOT included even though the hotel has it - it's a separate 295 SEK fee on top of the room rate.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Starby Hotel. Our room was clean and quiet, the staff were very friendly, helpful and professional and the food ( we only ate breakfast there) was very good. The back garden area is beautiful and a lovely place to sit and have breakfast or a cocktail. It is worth noting that the accommodations are much more of a "motel" than a "hotel" and the rooms have the feel of a motel with a bit of paint and polish applied. Quite comfy and clean, but a distinctly different feel than one expects in a "hotel". The location is great and it is an easy and short walk into the downtown and is only minutes to the castle and also has a good grocery store right across the street. Overall a definitely positive experience and would recommend.

Hyggelig spisesal - fantastisk med frokost på verandaen (og drinker senere på dagen). Hyggelige ansatte. Det som trekker ned er kjedelige rom- hvor det pga insekter ikke kunne ha vindu oppe om natten. Burde vært «netting» el slik at det kunne vært mulig å ha vinduet åpent.

Jättefint hotell med trevlig personal. Bra frukost. Väljer du däremot hotell efter äggröran på frukostbuffén bör du välja ett annat hotell. Äggpulver i stället för ägg?
