Hotel con colazione inclusa a Linkoping

L’hotel si trova in un’ottima posizione, vicino al centro. La stanza era tutto sommato comoda, anche se un rimodernata non le farebbe male. Palestra piccola ma ben attrezzata e bella sauna, quest’ultima, purtroppo, in funzione solo dalle 16:30. Personale molto simpatico e disponibile. La cosa migliore è senza ombra di dubbio la colazione, veramente eccezionale! Buona anche la cena, anche se non c’è una grandissima varietà di piatti.

Having previously stayed here in smaller rooms, my whole perception of the entire place changed now when we got a really nice ”junior suite” on the corner of the top floor. It felt spacious, stylish and somewhat high-end, with an ambundance of natural daylight from many large windows. We also got a really nice and generous welcome amenity. That being said, the room wasn’t perfect. Several towels had (other people’s) hair on them, the bathroom wasn’t exactly sparklig clean, and the room had two single beds put together rather than a true king size, but I digress. The Box is a pretty good hotel and I would highly recommend splurging for a larger room, which makes it a really good place to stay in Linköping :)

Che hotel fantastico in una città con vecchi hotel tradizionali noiosi. E l'hotel è un grande nuovo patrimonio della città. Ristorante è hip e grande valore per soldi. Le camere sono piccole ma hanno tutto il bisogno e si sente più spazioso di quello che si ottiene! Non perdere la palestra che è molto meglio di molte palestra alberghiere!

Even though our room was ready we had to pay 200sek extra for a checkin 1,5h early with the argument - you’ll be using the room 1,5h more…staff in reception greeted us like we really bothered her, talking on the phone with what seemed to be another staff member. We waited abt 3-4m until she finally thought she should pay attention to guests. Glasses in room had not been cleaned but filled w toothpaste at the bottom. We didn’t get the room higher up in the building, even though we had asked for it. When i asked for new glasses she reluctantly said we could have a room as per request no excuses, no smiles just very uninterested staff. Breakfast staff was brilliant though! We will not stay there again.

Prenotato questo posto su un whim principalmente per il nome, come massicci fan di Fawlty Towers. Arrivato in un fantastico e sublime hotel. L'interno quando si entra è parte ******* Casa e parte il classico hotel 1920 in tutti i modi buoni. Ci sono quote fresche sulle pareti e immagini e ritratti divertenti. C'è un cavaliere che brilla Armor letteralmente nelle scale.Francamente al controllo in me era già intrigato. Una volta che abbiamo avuto la nostra stanza (Abbiamo la stanza di 4 persone che penso ci sia solo una) abbiamo aperto la porta e i miei figli si sono squarciati con piacere e giù, mentre entrambi erano stati sbattuti via dall'interno grande, Con due camere doppie separate collegate da una porta, e attraverso una delle camere c’era una scala di scarpe che porta alla migliore bagno che abbia mai visto. Ha luce stellari nel tetto, una bella doccia e una sedia vecchia per solo raffreddare mentre si siede intorno al buco. Quando finalmente andammo a letto, i letti erano “Il meglio che abbiamo mai dormito” secondo moglie e bambini. Veramente comodi e ben fatto. Sono anche molto felice che la TV abbia un set di coppia per poter gettare dai vostri dispositivi in modo da poter guardare tutti i vostri spettacoli e scaricare la serie Netflix. In termini di posizione, è su una grande strada, quindi se mantieni le finestre aperte, puoi avere un po' di rumore, anche se non l'ho notato in particolare. Non c'è alcuna offensiva a Linköping, ma da 10PM I’d dire che era piuttosto calmo e non un po' di metropolitane Hellscape. È un hotel che vale la pena, poiché è a destra della stazione e solo a 5 minuti a piedi dal centro della città e 9 minuti a piedi alla cattedrale e chiamato. In generale, ho prenotato questo su un whim e finito di trovare una gemma che spero di visitare di nuovo.

Although it is supposed to be ”central”, it does requires from a quarter to twenty minutes walk to reach the very central part of town. Still, of course, it is not in the outskirts. The hotel is spacious and has plenty of rooms to offer in different wings. The reception is welcoming and the staff professional and friendly. The room I had was perfect size, with all the needed essentials. A good desk, an armchair, space for jackets, the bag. From what I remember the wardrobe was very essential and didn't have much of shelves. I suppose they do not expect people to stay too long. The bathroom was of a decent size, with good space and surfaces and all I needed for a shower, including an hair dryer. The bed was comfortable, but the main problem was that the room lacked AC. The first night I didn't realize that, as I did hear some ”mechanical ventilation” in the room (which turned out to be the bathroom one only) and it got warm very quickly. Luckily the windows can be open, but it makes the temperature very uneven and maybe in the coldest nights it is not the best solution. It was also quite disturbing with the door for the corridor quite close to my room, slamming heavily. The breakfast was the high point - I could spot a broad selection of food, although more nordic oriented. I would have appreciated a touch of organic food, if not local, more interesting tea and nicer juices. They seem very industrial and some lack taste. The bread was instead fresh and genuine. It could be quite crowded during breakfast time, but not an impossible situation to solve. I noticed though that my room and the area around the elevantors, felt a bit outdated, torn. My room was definitely very nicely cleaned (although it didn't get clean during my stay) but it was very standard in the quality of the materials and the appearance. Alltogether a perfectly ok stay. The price was not too high, but definitely not on the cheapest side either, but I think reasonable for the location and the quality.

A clean hotel close to the central station, shopping and restaurants. Comfortable beds and nice breakfast. Unfortunately we could hear every car and other sounds from the street outside. We were also disturbed by doors closing, people flushing toilets, kids running etc. So we only got a couple of hours of sleep - despite the earplugs. I wouldn’t stay there during the weekend again. Maybe a weekday because of the location.

Do you remember those trips by bus witt football/volleyball/ice hockey team to small cities by bus and where you spent the nights then? This place has those vibes even though the standard is naturally higher than back then. There are several plusses and minuses some of which might be minuses and plusses to some one else. Plusses: Big parking space Spacious room (we had 2 bedrooms in one, the other room 2 bunk beds ie family on 6 would fit), also bathroom in good size and in good shape. Clean and very quiet Enough items in the breakfast preorder Good communication even though no reception already before arriving to the hotel and a number to call if any problems (where they also switfly answer the call). Beds in the adults room very comfy. Temperature was ok. Codes worked for doors unexpectedly well. Minuses: No traditional breakfast, needs to be preordered and comsumed in the room or small breakfast room. The other room had no windows, maybe bit dark for some one (it’s an old vault). Hotel kinda middle of nowhere, nothing nearby and even though the building is nice, the gravel parking lot in front of the hotel not too pretty. Something new being built next to hotel, probably quite noisy on weekdays. No elevator or traditional reception. Temperature can’t be changed. Parking costs also for hotel quests. …and couple of additional points; earliest check-in at 5 pm (!) and leave by 11 am. Now, five pm….6 hours for the hotel to clean up the few rooms there are…this is just too late. 3 pm is nowadays the norm, why on earth at 5pm? I would imagine many travellers have small town like Linköping as one night stop and will appreciate the chance of having shower etc after a long drive before late afteenoon. The breakfast room is small, but there is a small note in one of the tables saying there’s more space on the upper floor, it would be good to mention this somehere else as well. I didnt take notice and we had breakfast in the room since the breakfast room was filled with other guests. Also some environment concious person would have objections to the breakfast delivered to fridge in many many plastic small cups (I did not find recycling for plastic). Take note when you leave the room, you need the code to lock the door also when leaving the room. Check the address, bit tricky to find the exact buildind of the hotel (many similar looking buildings near to each other). All in all, this hotel suited the purpose we needed at decent price, but you need to consider if it’s for you or if something in the ”city” would suit better.
