Hotel Skansen

Great location, just by the tennis courts and seaside. We were here during low season, but can imagine it being lovely during summer. For winter, they have a sauna built over the waters where one can plunge in if overheated. Love it.

Great food We visited Skansen for 20 years now. Restaurant makes lovely dishes. It has become a bit overdecorated and busy. Service is not like it used to be. However some staff is wonderful. Check out is early, 10 am. Rather expensive. Location is nice. Båstad is wonderful.

Nice ambience in cozy Båstad The hotel offers a charming atmosphere in the heart of Båstad. The interior is well-designed, with plenty of seating areas and fireplaces, creating a relaxing environment. The rooftop pool and bar area are particularly appealing and provide a great spot to unwind. One unique aspect is the constant flow of guests in robes, moving between the spa and the outdoor baths, which adds to the relaxed vibe. The room itself had some quirks. The sink is located outside the bathroom, which can be inconvenient, especially at night. The rooms are small but quiet, with open wardrobes and minimal storage. The bed felt narrow and short, though we’re accustomed to a king-size at home, so this may be personal preference. Both the pillows and the bathroom towels were surprisingly small, which detracted slightly from the experience. Breakfast is served in a spacious restaurant with beautiful views. While the spread isn’t the largest we’ve encountered, it covers all the essentials and maintains a good quality. Overall, despite a few imperfections, the hotel delivers a high standard, particularly for a Swedish property, and remains one of the better options available.
