This is a hotel in transition!…read more The negative bits; The room I have is not quite finished! There are bits of it which need painting or the cupboard putting in. The toilet has the smell of sea water about it, which I have only ever experienced in a hotel which recycles the water it used to flush the toilet. The free wifi is hit or miss and the receptionist will tell you it is working or you can 'buy' a 24 hour access code to another network within the hotel. It is a combination of an older building to which they have added a new building. The workmen are still visible in certain areas of the building and I guess dependant upon where your room is this could be an issue if you should desire a late wake up. That said the staff have been helpful with trying to solve minor issues. The food has been good and the view from the upper observation deck, of the Uddevallabron bridge, is quite spectacular (on a sunny day) if you don't look to far right that is as that is where the working docks are as opposed to the view across the fiords.

On arrival the staff was friendly but the room where you pick up the robes and slippers was disorganized and poorly marked. We got to our room which was small but sufficient in space for a standard room. The view was really wonderful but the room itself was pretty worn down. The furniture was new but when looking at the room itself, the floors and doors were very scratched, and there was a noise that sounded like rushing water through the pipes. We got the spa that that was awesome, super relaxing with another great view. As we got ready for bed at like 1 am there was very loud, audible bass thumping and yelling from a party. I am not a light sleeper but this was really annoying and didn't end until about 2 am. I know the property does parties once a month but those are cancelled now because of the corona situation. I have no clue why there was such a large party going on. Additionally, we had two twin beds pushed together that had flimsy pillowtops which slid all over. We did not have a good night's sleep. In the morning we went for breakfast. Fresh cheesy, warm eggs and bacon, sandwiches, and a veggie option too. For drinks they had apple juice, tea and coffee. It was a basic breakfast but everything was prepared well. Overall I'd say that if you want a meal and spa day this is a fun place but avoid the hotel if you can.

ROOM WITH A PAST The Thorskogs Slott (Thorskogs House) is an…read moreauthentic castle built in 1892. The castle had experienced some twists and turns over the past centuries, from the home to the royals to an mental asylum (according to the receptionist) and whatever in between to the now hotel. Due to it's old age, this place does not have an elevator, so probably not ideal for people who need extra assistance or strollers and such. The rooms are all named, ours was Thor, and everything inside is probably older than any piece of furniture I've ever owned. Due to its architecture, the room has an extremely high ceiling, multiple large windows, and a beautiful chandelier hanging from the top. The curtains, pillows, and bedcovers all match, which really shows the precision in detail from the owners. There is no TV, water cooker or a mini fridge, but then again, people from the late 19th hundreds probably didn't need that. Also, quite a few well known people have stayed here, from politicians to celebrities. So if you are looking to sleep like a royal, even just for a night, this is definitely the place to be.
