Quick access to shops, restaurants and public transportation. The lobby and rooms have so much character-- unlike anything I've seen before. Although we never made it to their restaurant for dinner, the breakfast spread was plentiful and scrumptious. Checking in and out was a breeze. Housekeeping on top of everything.

Nice welcoming staff…read more No minibar, safety box or water boiler for tea/coffee in room. They accept AMEX.

I live in Kinna for the moment, and this is the best restaurant I've been to by far…read more First it's the cutest, coziest place. For me, being foreign, it's exactly what I would want in experiencing a Swedish restaurant. Very hygge (I know it's a Danish term but this place defines it). There is always a crowd at 12, the tea lights are always lit, usually bustling in the afternoon but in a quaint small town way. Just love it! The staff is so nice, friendly, and are open and understanding to help if you need. I am also vegan, so I had a lot of requirements and adjustments to ask, and everyone was very helpful and understanding. The chef is excellent! I eat lunch here everyday, so he actually spoke with me and asked what my requirements were. He was awesome, and I feel lucky to eat here everyday, the plates he creates for me are just beautiful! Literally every day the same standard. It's very hard to find a vegan meal with the quality this chef is putting out in a small town. Making my life! So the Mark Basket girls send a big thanks to the Gästhuset staff. Weyou! Thanks for putting up with us! We look forward to these meals everyday. You give us life!!

Don't get me wrong, the food here is excellent. The service leaves a lot to be desired though. No…read moresmiles from the wait staff. No checking to see if we'd like more to drink. It took over an hour just to get our appetizers and then we didn't all get them at the same time. We were told to keep the silverware we ate our appetizers with instead of bringing us clean ones for the next course. I asked for a glass of wine with the main course and they poured it into my water glass, which I had already drunk water from and then acted pissy when I complained. It's a beautiful atmosphere and the food is delicious but you have to put up with a lot of unprofessionalism in my opinion.

Anyways, it's a beautiful park, you can walk more than 10k steps just going one lap around the park. We took the route where you stayed with Dino land and then move on to the farm land and through to the bears and onto to the lions and Savannah area and then you end by taking the giant skywalk out. The park is kept super clean and the walkways are wide, so even if it's crowded there's plenty of space for strollers and large groups. We've been a few times now and when it's raining it's very empty, we almost had the park to ourselves when it was raining. The animals are all usually out and available to see, with special events throughout the day where you can watch them feed the animals and talk about them. However, if it is raining it seems like they don't have those events which was a huge bummer as we had planned our day around seeing the lions and bears eating but they didn't do the event and they also didn't post any signs saying it was cancelled. Most importantly, if you're going to get lunch the best option is simba grill. They have a great burger and fish and chips. The Savannah restaurant has the best view of the animals and the meatball buffet is ok, pretty standard, but the simba grill food is actually very good!

The paths inside the park are well-maintained and good accessable with wheelchair or with small kids. At the entrance of the park you find a time-schedule when the animals get feeded. There are a couple of shops and restaurants in the park, but it's not too pushy and disturbing. You will not feel ashamed when you bring your own drinks into the park. In the park you'll find a few playgrounds for smaller and bigger kids. All together a good park, nice to visit. One minor remark: All information in the park is in Swedish only. Foreighn tourists might have a language problem there.
